Even McDonald's has more than that. :-) But one does
have one's choice of sauces.
[1] Extra Light Basic Water Sauce. The ribs are fried
in a bucket of water. Um...wait, maybe that's more
like boiled. Served on a stick.
[2] Home Premium Water Sauce. The ribs are lovingly
torched -- sorry, fried -- with a flamethrower,
then dunked in salt water. Fries -- also done with
a flamethrower, to ensure compatibility -- served on
the side.
[3] Business Water Sauce. The ribs are lovingly torched
with a flamethrower, then basted with sugar water.
Fries served on the side.
[4] Ultimate. The ribs are lovingly torched with a
flamethrower, then basted with sweet and salty sauce,
which looks a bit, well, watery. Fries served on
the side.
[5] Starter Edition. One gets one bone, one Fry Cube(tm)
(about the size of a sugar cube) and an eyedropper's
worth of water. Bon[e] Appetit. (Non-US only.)
[6] Enterprise Edition. The ribs are taken from a huge
vat full of boiling sweet and salty sauce, mixed with
mashed fries [*], and placed in a bucket. Serves 6.
[7] Water-free editions are available in Europe. Bring
your own sauce.
[8] Longhorn Edition. The ribs are blowtorched then
filled with water, which can be mixed with the sauce
of one's meal, in tiny controlled driblets.
