It's Friday, Friday, gotta get my fries on Friday

今天是星期五，星期五，我得在星期五吃薯條

Not sure the bigger size is worth it, worth it

不知道更大的尺寸值不值得，值不值得

Friday, Friday, calculating value on Friday

星期五，星期五，計算星期五的價值

Still not sure the bigger size is worth it, worth it

還是不確定更大的尺寸是否值得，值得

This song's hopefully not gonna get flagged for copyright

希望這首歌不會因版權問題而被舉報

Do people even know that reference anymore?

The show where you come for the crispy golden nuggets of knowledge and stay for the extra bits at the bottom of the bag

在這個節目中，你可以看到香脆的知識金塊，也可以看到袋子底部多餘的碎屑

As many of you who've watched my shows for some time know fast food was a huge part of my early life

很多看過我節目的人都知道，快餐是我早期生活的重要組成部分

An era when happy meals weren't being weighed down by options like juice or apples or bean sprouts or whatever healthy stuff is in there these days

在那個時代，快樂餐裡沒有果汁、蘋果、豆芽等選項，也沒有什麼健康食品。

They're not even giving kids cavities or an unhealthy BMI

它們甚至不會讓孩子們患上齲齒或不健康的體重指數（BMI）。

No, my healthy choice was drinking an orange high C instead of soda and then getting in kindergarten brawls over those happy meal toys that were shaped like hamburgers and ice cream cones but then turned into dinosaurs

不，我的健康選擇是喝橘子汽水而不是蘇打水，然後在幼兒園裡爭搶那些形狀像漢堡包和冰淇淋筒但後來變成恐龍的快樂餐玩具

Wait, you can get a full set of those for $15 online right now?

等等，現在在網上花 15 美元就能買到一整套？

I mean, definitely didn't just put in my bit so there's no need to go searching for that

我的意思是，肯定不是我自己寫的，所以沒必要去找了

As I got older, I got smarter and also poorer and I realized that the kids meal is kind of a racket for the amount of food that you get

隨著年齡的增長，我變得越來越聰明，也越來越窮，我意識到兒童餐的飯量實在是太少了。

So I switched to buying a regular hamburger and fries but turns out that that was just the tip of my frugal frosty friends

於是，我改買普通漢堡和薯條，但事實證明，這只是我的節儉朋友們的一小部分。

I learned to maximize that dollar menu through my poor years as a college student my poor years as an actor my poor years as an unemployed YouTuber

在我當大學生的窮困歲月裡，在我當演員的窮困歲月裡，在我當失業的 YouTuber 的窮困歲月裡，我學會了最大限度地利用那一元錢的菜單。

Anyway, there is a whole world of fast food economizing out there at my grease-covered fingertips but in all the years and all the fast food since then

總之，在我滿是油脂的指尖上，有一個節約快餐的大世界，但在此後的歲月和所有快餐中

I've never done a comprehensive test to see what was the most efficient order out there

我從來沒有做過全面的測試，看看什麼是最有效的訂單

So today, we're starting with the most universally loved fast food item on the planet the one that sparks furious debates no matter where you're from especially here in the US

今天，我們將從地球上最受大眾喜愛的快餐開始，無論你來自哪裡，尤其是在美國，它都會引發激烈的爭論。

And today, I'm not measuring the best french fry based on things that matter

今天，我不是根據重要的事情來衡量最好吃的炸薯條

You know, like taste or some kind of nutritional value

你知道，比如味道或某種營養價值

And nutritional value is kind of a moot point

而營養價值則是一個毫無意義的問題

No, today it's all about dollars and cents

不，今天的一切都與美元和美分有關

If I want my fry fix, what is the best type of fry to buy and what is the best size to buy it in?

如果我想吃魚苗，買什麼魚苗最好？

I think the conventional wisdom is that larger sizes are always going to provide you a better value

我認為傳統的觀點是，大尺寸總是會給你帶來更大的價值

Are we sure that we can trust that McDonald's supersized fry is really delivering us a supersized value?

我們是否確信，麥當勞的超大薯條真的能給我們帶來超大的價值？

Would there be a different strategy to upsizing those?

是否有不同的策略來擴大這些設備的規模？

All I want to know is what the perfect fast food french fry order is

我只想知道最完美的快餐薯條點餐順序是什麼

What is going to get me the most fry for my buck?

怎樣才能讓我賺到最多的錢呢？

And the good news is that I'm no longer in the backseat of the drive-thru

好消息是，我不再坐在汽車快餐店的後座上了

So the only thing stopping me from getting a dozen orders of french fries

所以，阻止我買一打薯條的唯一原因是

And conducting a pseudo-scientific study of fry optimization

But this, my friends, is in the name of science

但是，我的朋友們，這是以科學的名義

And on behalf of all the consumers out there

So I'm willing to go through as many fries as I have to

所以，我願意吃多少薯條，就吃多少薯條

Get out your Sam's Club size bottles of ketchup

拿出山姆會員店大小的番茄醬瓶子

Or mayonnaise if you're one of the weirdos

或者蛋黃醬，如果你是怪人的話

如果你恰好來自愛達荷州，也可以兩者兼得

And get ready to dip into the science and economics of the french fry

準備好研究薯條的科學和經濟學吧

Let's do some scientific experiments and fast food drive-thrus

讓我們來做一些科學實驗和快餐速食吧

We're gonna get so much fried potato, it's crazy

我們會吃到很多炸洋芋，太瘋狂了

Steph and I wanted to test all the major fry shapes

斯蒂芬和我想測試所有主要的魚苗形狀

Shoestring, thicker natural cut fries, curly fries, and waffle cut

馬蹄薯條、較粗的自然切薯條、捲曲薯條和華夫餅切薯條

We conducted the test in three different markets

我們在三個不同的市場進行了測試

Los Angeles, New York, and Raleigh, North Carolina

洛杉磯、紐約和北卡羅來納州羅利

This also narrowed down the list of fast food restaurants available to us

這也縮小了我們可以選擇的快餐店的範圍

Because any fry we chose to test had to be available in all three locations

因為我們選擇測試的魚苗必須在所有三個地點都能買到

This means that we won't be covering an exhaustive list of every fast food restaurant out there

這意味著我們不會詳盡無遺地列出每一家快餐店

This is also to prevent everyone from getting their undies in a bunch

Because I didn't cover their regional favorite like In-N-Out or Whataburger

因為我沒有報道他們的地區最愛，比如 In-N-Out 或 Whataburger

You guys can take those arguments to the comments section

你們可以在評論區發表自己的觀點

The focus here is on covering a representative, nationally available sample of each fry type

這裡的重點是涵蓋每種魚苗類型中具有代表性的全國性樣本

That way you can apply the principles of french fry efficiency to your regional favorites as well

這樣，您就可以將炸薯條的效率原則應用到您的地方美食中了

I targeted McDonald's for their shoestring fries

Wendy's for their thicker cut natural fry

溫迪餐廳（Wendy's）的粗切天然薯條

You really need to get some locations here in North Carolina

你真得在北卡羅來納州找幾個地方了

Which I know that Hardee's is technically supposed to be the same thing

我知道 Hardee's 在技術上應該是一回事

But it's a different franchise name and thus I couldn't go with it

但這是一個不同的專營權名稱，是以我不能使用它

It's introducing an extraneous variable into our hardcore scientific method

這是在我們嚴謹的科學方法中引入了一個不相干的變量

And for a YouTube video, mildly educational about the topic of food

YouTube上有一段視頻，關於食物的話題具有一定的教育意義

Whatever McDonald's makes, we're getting them all
