this isn't fair. They're only going to market them in SF

(From NBC)

All-day breakfast isn't the only popular menu item at McDonald's.

The chain's "Gilroy Garlic Fries," a limited-time menu item in the San
Francisco Bay Area, have sold out.

"In less than two weeks, our small, four-restaurant test of Gilroy
Garlic Fries has been a huge success, and we are now experiencing a
temporary shortage of supplies," McDonald's told CNBC.

The Golden Arches, which amped up its French fries in four locations
in San Francisco in late April, expects to be restocked in a few
weeks.

The made-to-order fries are tossed with a puree mix of garlic, olive
oil, Parmesan cheese, parsley and salt.

If successful in this small test market, McDonald's will make the
specialty fries available in around 250 restaurants throughout the San
Francisco Bay Area.

The Golden Arches are no stranger to trial runs of potential menu
items.

Some 125 stores in Milwaukee are slated to sell Johnsonville Brats for
a limited time, seven years after discontinuing the sausages.

The burger giant is also testing out smaller and larger Big Macs in
Texas and Ohio restaurants. The Grand Mac is an attempt to compete
with chains like Smashburger and Five Guys that serve larger burgers,
while the Mac Jr. is simply easier to eat on the go, according to The
Street.

In addition, McDonald's will host a limited-time all-you-can eat
French fry promotion during the grand opening of its new location in
Missouri this July.

This isn't fair at all. Many places are getting different offerings
and many sound good. So far we get the same ol same ol in Virginia.

Fair or not, trends start on the left coast and work across the nation.

Take San Francisco with a grain of salt, because they aren't being
test marketed here in the City.

Those McDonald's Rib sandwiches (which are now just pork patties) were
test marketed in Southern California decades ago and I ate them
several times. They were the actual rib meat that had been cooked
enough to remove the rib. It was really tasty, not the nasty stuff
they pass off as a "rib" sandwich now.

Understood, suburbs then.

Fascinating, I was always a bit scared of them myself...

Only someone who isn't from here thinks San Jose is the same as San
Francisco! Worse, they are called "Gilroy Garlic Fries" and didn't
bother test marketing them in Gilroy. What a slap in the face!

They were a hit and certainly do sound delicious. Can't say I've ever
had garlic fries with parmesan cheese on them too. I imagine they'll
be expanding to the entire Bay Area as soon as the logistics are
straightened out.

We've had garlic fries here for several years. They just never sold it at McDonalds. I think they're too greasy so I won't order it. The kids do and it's pretty intense stuff. I'm glad when they order it because I'll always have a few. If you add furikake on it, it's called "furikake fries."

Perhaps not the same, but from 2400 miles away, the 55 miles from
the one to the other is in the noise.

Not back then, but steer clear when they breeze it through on a
limited time offer these days.
