Some prefer it straight, some prefer it curly. But apparently at Wesley College, nobody prefers curly over straight.

A recent survey conducted by Aramark found that every student at Wesley preferred straight fries over curly.

“There was not enough fry in the curly fry, it wasn’t potatoey enough,” said Retail Supervisor Kristian Neal. “They preferred a thicker cut fry that was less crispy.”

As a result of the survey, the curly fry is no more at The Den.

They only serve the regular straight fry now and many students have no problem with this. In fact, most of them straight-up agree with the survey.

“Personally, I think the fries are pretty good,” said sophomore Dakota Smith. “They kind of taste like curly fries, but they’re a lot thicker, which I guess is good because you have a lot more potato in there.”

“I strongly prefer the new fries over curly because they taste like Old Bay fries and they’re way more potatoey,” said junior Brandon Smith.

“I like the regular fries better than the curly fries, I think they taste better,” said sophomore Ben Watson. “Curly fries were never really my thing.”

There are some students more coiled for curly fries.

“I like the curly fries a little bit more,” said junior Lily Engel. “I think they have better taste and I think they’re a little crispier. Although I do like the natural cut fries.”

“I have not tried the new fries yet, but I do miss the curly fries,” said junior Darren Jones. “I liked how they were crunchy and had a good taste. I liked the texture, and they always tasted fresh.”

For some, though, the type of fry doesn’t matter to them.

“As long as they’re seasoned correctly, I have no problem with them,” said junior Donald Davis.
