French Fry Diary 354: The Sonic Justice League of Tater Tots

I had wanted to write about this ever since I found out about this, but as was mentioned earlier, most of the Sonic Drive-Ins in the South Jersey area have suddenly closed up. Why, I don't know, but there went my opportunity to collect some of my favorite super-heroes in the shape of some of my favorite fried food.

Luckily my friend Marni managed to pick me up a Wonder Woman Tater Tot. Sonic has been including in the kids meals, officially called Wacky Pack kids meals, plush tater tots dressed like DC Comics characters. What is most interesting about these 'super-tots' is the selection of characters included. Here's the rundown: Clark Kent (!), Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter (!), The Flash, Hawkgirl, Aquaman, Supergirl, Bizarro (!), Plastic Man (!), and Superman.

Of course this doesn't make Sonic Tater Tots taste any better, or reopen closed Sonics in the area, but it sure is pretty cool. More kids meal toys need to be this cool.

French Fry Diary 252: The Best of Both Worlds

According to this article (clicky-clicky), starting in September, McDonald's will be introducing a new Happy Meal for kids that includes both fruit and fries.

This may not be what the Health Nazis want, but I suppose it is a 'happy' medium. The order of French fries will be a new smaller size serving, and for those who insist on just getting apple slices, instead of fries, you can do that too.

Although, I have to add, if you want apple slices instead of fries, I have to wonder why you're at McDonald's to begin with. Going to McDonald's and not getting fries is kinda like taking a shower, but not getting wet - but maybe that's just me.
