Anyone else ever wonder why when you order onion rings you always get ONE fry at the bottom, but when I order fries there is no onion ring..... Mysterious.

The onion ring has a round shape. It is not conducive to being entangled within the square mesh pattern of the basket.
The french fry has a square shape. Under particular conditions, will promote entanglement within the square mesh pattern of the basket.
The french fry product can remain in the basket for multiple cycles.

This condition will result in occasional releasing of a french fry product during the discharging of the prepared onion ring product, as long as the same baskets are used for deep frying both products. Occasional releasing of the retained french fry within the french fry order goes unnoticed.

Ok so we know who's is a rocket scientist at the first window, tell me this if said fry was lodged in the bottom of said basket wouldn't it end up on top of onion rings

Holy crap. I was just kidding. As soon as I find the part where I said the fry prefers to get stuck in the bottom as opposed to the other four sides and the part where they fry only enough product for one serving at a time and invert it directly into the serving container I'll get back to you.

You're failing to realize that said onion rings and lone fry would be deposited into a secondary container to properly season and maintain warmth under a heat lamp. During the intended seasoning procedure the rings with lone fry will be agitated to evenly distribute said salt and or pepper therefore changing its position in the ring pile. So it's hit or miss weather or not the lone fry will end up on top or on bottom when it will most likely gravitate towards the middle.

Touche.

Same principal. Curly fries are fries in a coil configuration, ie round. Onion ring = round. There you go. Either that or it's cross contamination from not fully emptying the secondary container from previously held fries.
Any layman knows that frictional co-efficient of a helix is vastly different from that of an ovoid causing a displacement shift an order of magnitude greater. Get it together, man!

Sorry. I was over simplifying and you're right. The greater surface area and the increased chance that a fry would get tangled in said helix would increase the probability of contamination. In which case you could postulate that a greater occurrence of fries would therefore be found in an order of curly fries than in an order of onion rings.
