However, their taste doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stack up against the 800-pound gorilla of the French Fry world, McDonald\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s French Fries. <\/p>\n<p>I guess sometimes \u00e2\u20ac\u0153bigger and thicker\u00e2\u20ac\u009d doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean better.<\/p>\n<p>Also, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153average and I know how to use it,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d always means better.<\/p>\n<p>Right, ladies?<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Jack in the Box Natural Cut Fries<br \/>\n<b>Purchase Price:<\/b>  $2.29<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  2 out of 5<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Potato skin!!!
