    A user on Lemmy a while back (can’t recall their name) had said that when they get fast food fries, they don’t salt the fries, they salt the ketchup.

    I will confirm that this is a fantastic idea because it makes every fry taste equally salted, and gives the salt a way to actually adhere to the fries instead of just ending up in the bottom of the container or on your table.

    My own recommendation where I can’t believe more people don’t do it is buying no name/store brand stuff when getting groceries and supplies. I’m pretty sure a lot of people don’t do this because marketing has pushed them into thinking these are “inferior” or are not as good, but 7 times out of 10 the no name/store brand stuff is equal in quality or better while also being something like 20-40 percent cheaper. Just because something is different than the name brand stuff does not make it worse, just different. Like you DONT need a more expensive type of aluminum foil for example, the cheapest aluminum foil is identical in quality.

      Malt-o-meal cereals are better than most others and you can get a giant bag that lasts forever. Also Costco’s store brand Kirkland is consistently rated at the top for quality. I remember one article in particular where Kirkland’s olive oil was the only one not cut with soybean or other vegetable oils.
