Hey folks. I came across this thread and wanted to set the record straight.
We didn't get Mcd's every day, it was a once or twice a month kind of thing. The box said "Salt the Fries" on it, quotes included, and we just thought that was this weird admonition, and so we would use it as a slogan. Like, "Seize the day; Salt the fries." It's possible that someone (Art?) still has the cardboard side of the box.
Sorry for the necro.

Decades later, we still have to salt the fries.
Weirdly, at In'n'Out, they salt the fries plenty but still give you salt packets with them. I use the salt packets to salt the burgers.

The way that particular topic in the Unofficial System Shock FAQ (
https://www.ttlg.com/ss1/faq/#7.1) is worded, I always assumed eating McDonalds was during crunch time, not every day.
Quote:
"Back when the LG team was working late-night on SS, one of the employees would go out to McDonalds and order like 15 or 16 Extra Value Meals, or something like that. However, the guys at McDonalds, due to the excess baggage, had to pack all the food into their boxes which they received from the manufacturing plant (Fries, Burgers, etc..). On those boxes, the people at Mickey D's put some quotes on there. On the French Fries boxes, they put the quote "Salt the Fries." The dudes at LG though this was funny, so they cut up all the boxes with "Salt the Fries" on it and pasted them all over the office. Hence, the "Salt the Fries" line was born. Remember, it's not Salt the Fries, it's "Salt the Fries." (A quote from Doug [Church] at E3)."
