TikTok is Arguing Over How To Pronounce “Broccoli”
Everyday is seems like the internet is arguing over something new. Sure, it’s annoying. However, it can provide endless hours of entertainment. We all are guilty of that. Now, TikTok is arguing over how to pronounce “broccoli.”
This isn’t what I had expected the internet to be arguing over. Yet, here we are. Let’s dive in to the latest internet controversy.
TikTok Is Arguing Over How To Pronounce “Broccoli”
Katelynn Young shared the now viral video on her TikTok. In the video, she pronounced broccoli “broccol-EYE” instead of “broccol-EE” like we are accustomed to hearing. This didn’t sit well with her audience. Why is she pronouncing it that way? Is she doing it on purpose to be funny? Commenters had many questions.
However, Young swears she’s not up to anything and that’s how she’s always said it. According to Daily Mail, she says nobody has ever corrected her or shown her how to say it, and that’s the way her nan always did. Someone else pointed out that’s the way it used to be pronounced by everyone in Australia.
I’m guilty of pronouncing words wrong all the time. So, I know exactly where she’s coming from. Recently, I found out it’s “blowing a gasket” and now “blowing a casket” like it’s so wild that the dead are rising up. That’s what I always thought. Now, even though I know I’m incorrect, I’ll still say casket. It makes sense to me.
Additionally, I don’t think it sounds bad with an Australian accent. It makes sense. I don’t think it sounds awful. Really, it’s not much of a stretch either. That’s how you could see it being pronounced if you didn’t know any better. The letter “I” does sound like that! Or, it can. She’s just sounding it out phonetically.
Check out the TikTok video and see for yourself.

Are These The Best French Fries In Fast Food?
It’s a timeless debate. Right up there with “is a hot dog a sandwich?” There may be no definitive answer, but it’s always worth discussing. Who has the best fries in all of fast food?
Everyone is entitled to their own option and taste (literally). However, let’s be honest, there can only be one winner. There’s only allowed to be one winner, and one fry declared the best above all the rest. One fry to rule them all.

Every Day Is Fry Day
When talking about the best fries in fast food, there are no shortage of options. That’s for sure. You’ve got your national big brands. Then you’ve got your local specialties. Then, there’s also the regional restaurants that aren’t in every state, but aren’t strictly in one city, either. We’re taking everything into consideration.
Of course, ranking the best fries in fast food is no easy task. Much like a snowflake, every list is certain to be different. I mean, they’re all on the menu for a reason. If they didn’t taste good they’d be long gone. It’s the same thing with professional sports. Even the worst player on the team is still incredible when you think about it.
I’m no stranger to fast food, the cashier at my local establishment recognizes me when I pull up in the drive-thru. It’s a blessing and a curse, I suppose. So, with that type of experience and dedication I think my list can be deemed credible and valid.

What To Look For In A Fry
Personally, I love a good crunch. A well-done fry is a fry well-done. I’m not big on wet fries or greasy soft fries. They’ve also got to be independently great. If you need ketchup or ranch in order to enjoy the fries then they must not be that great!
Consistency is key, as well. It can’t be one of those “oh one time I had them and they were fantastic, but ever since they aren’t great.” No one hit wonders here. The best fry in fast food has to be something you can depend on. It’s reliable and every time you drive-thru you know what you’re getting.
Let’s not delay. Here are my rankings of the best fries in fast food. You may agree with some, you may hate some of these picks. That’s totally up to you. I will say, some big names are off the list, and likely for a reason.

One word their curly fries can best be described as: iconic. Why not number one? They also offer crinkle cut fries. The worst type of fire of all the fries. Sometimes, I’ve even had to specify that I want the curly fries. It should be the only option.
