See's candies and Mcs french fries

[Guest guest]

I laughed when I read where you were going to go this weekend. I couldn't wait for the weekend - I went last night and bought a WHOLE POUND of See's candy for and me, including my favorites that I have not eaten in over 4 years - butter chews, dark almond clusters and even molasses chips (I called and checked to make sure that the molasses chips do not have malt in them)...........

Kinda....sorta....makes up for the Mcs french fries we supposedly can't eat anymore (or can we?). Which brings me to the question of the day that I thought I would ask you guys. Because of the recent lawsuits, Mcs issued a statement that they have tested their fries and they tested gluten-free. Are any of you eating them again? Very curious because I miss eating them.
