If you're someone who likes to load up on lots of ketchup or any other sauce when you're at a fast food restaurant, you'll probably find KFC Romania's new Dipping French Fries to be a genius idea.
Just as there are tortilla chips that have been specifically designed for scooping up mounds of salsa, the Dipping Fries have been hollowed out in the center, so that you can fill up the trough with a sauce of your choosing—KFC Romania serves garlic sauce, curry, ketchup, salsa, barbecue and sweet and sour & sauces. Although you may be getting fewer french fries per bite, if you're someone who prefers a larger ratio of sauce to fries, this may be an inventive option that suits you just fine.
