    ketchup’s not just a fruit sauce, it’s got vinegar too, it counts as a vinaigrette

    The real joke was that when McDonalds had salads, due to the meat in them, they were even more high-calorie than a hamburger and fries.

      It was the dressing that was the highest calorie bit of them. At least when you got something like ranch or the southwest dressing which was basically just seasoned mayo.

      One thing I noticed when I started calorie tracking was how absolutely awful basically every fastfood salad is, especially if you’re tracking sodium too. There’s one salad from Zaxby’s I use to get that, all by itself, was a day’s worth of calories and two days worth of sodium.

    in french, fries are pomme frittes, from the french words for potato, pomme de tere meaning apple of the earth, so in france and belgium, that’s a fruit salad

        Well then they should really label these things. Perhaps a small disclaimer on the top left of the bottom picture could help people understand the subtle subtext of the image. Maybe they could just write “Sarcasm” directly on the image.

          The US education department during the Reagan administration, classified ketchup as a vegetable for the lunches of low income students.

          This is a case of sarcasm not being sarcastic enough to exceed reality.
