Have you ever wondered why people are so addicted to McDonald’s french fries? We finally have to answer.
According to the website Foodbeast.com, the reason that McDonald’s fries are addictive is because they’re coated in beef flavoring. That makes them activate your “umami” taste buds along with your salt taste buds, which hooks you.
By the way, that also means the fries aren’t vegan-friendly. Not because that beef flavor comes from beef . . . no, that would make too much sense. It’s because the beef flavor comes partially from milk.
Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio.
