The winner isn't very surprising; whether it's because it's delicious or because it's the fast food standard (or perhaps it's the standard because it's delicious), skinny fries are the most popular, with onion rings, steak fries, and shoestring fries trailing behind.
Thanks for your participation! Stay tuned for next week's poll.
