the best BK fries will always greatly be better than poor maintained MCdee fries.
first McD fries are fried once already in the plant, then frozen, here is where the issues lie. Depending on supply chain, the fries could thaw and crystalize, and even then when fries are being restocked in a local store, they could just sit there and thaw out.
Then frys are usually taken from the big freeze to the fry freezer and usually they just dump a bag out, onto the baskets, if they're lazy, they'll dump a whole load of frys into the baskets instead, letting the frys thaw and stick together.
then its oil time, has it been recycled (cleaned) on the regular? are they frying other shit in there? are there burnt pieces on the bottom, affecting taste? is the temp proper? is even the timer correct?
Point of failure is everywhere, your best bet is to find a McDees that is always busy, so stuff isn't just sitting around.

if they're light on the salt in fries, the salt shaker is likely
1. old
2. old and clogged up w/ oil.
it's not even about training, b/c it's a push button (not the old style shake/shake/shake) so it's the fault of the salt distributor.

Lots of places have amazing fries: Culver's, Chik-fil-A, In-N-Out, Five Guys, etc, hell even KFC's potato wedges have a pretty solid chance (if you feel like rolling those dice) of being better than the average fast food fries.
Neither McD's nor BK's fries belong on that list though, not even the fries from the Magical Fairyland location staffed by Unicorns. So does it really matter which one is grosser? What's up for discussion next, gum scraped off the bottom of a park bench vs gum scraped off the bottom of your shoe?

While true, if you aren't getting the curly fries you are doing it wrong

Went to Gus's Fried Chicken(only 20 locations in 11 states). I was skeptical cause I was told their chicken has very little breading, and I love me some think extra crispy breading.
It does indeed have minimal/no breading, but still it was was absolutely delicious. Had an excellent amount of spice, very juicy without squirting boiling grease like kfc/popeyes.
Mac and cheese was also amazing. They do not skimp on the cheese, they actually top off each serving with a scoop of shredded cheese, even without that it would have been a good enough ratio of cheese/noodles. Was gooey and oh so cheesy.
Few dollars more for a meal than than kfc/popeyeys and worth every penny.
10/10 fastfood scale. will eat again asap.
*They have table service so maybe it's unfair to rate them vs legit fast food chains. but I got my $10~ meal to go in about 5min. So I count that as fast food.

When did McDonald's start hiring infomercial imports to hawk their wares? Is the British accent supposed to make the signature sandwiches more .. signaturey?

I keep saying this. Curly fries are regional. They stopped here like two decades ago (I occasionally ask and all I get are blank stares)

You should burn that motherfucking abomination to the ground then
Edit: OK, so apparently some have waffle fries? Someone needs to get these and report
