Unsuspecting Record Setting Fries

Kim Medford's Curly Fry from Arby's Has a Shot at the Title

It was just like any other day when Kim Medford ordered food from Arby's, which included some delicious curly fries and sandwiches. All of a sudden, Kim realized her box of curly fries was just one superfluously long curly fry.

The fry measured out to be 38 inches and it is claimed that the current record holder fry is only 34 inches. Part of me would like to believe that this wasn't due to employee neglect, but rather part of a hilarious and harmless prank gone viral. If this is true then kudos to you, Arby's employee. Your excessively long curly fry has captured the hearts of loving fans and quite possibly the attention of the World Record Academy.
