I can’t compete with that. But I did know a guy during college who liked mixing Goldschlager with Dr. Pepper. I didn’t especially care for it. I’m not sure what would go best with Tinschlager. But Mountain Dew and Tinschlager is unlikely to taste worse than Mountain Dew by itself. Where is a Khlav Kalash selling crab juice when you need one?

Can’t go wrong with Sprite.
Mountain dew used to refer to moonshine.
And the RDA for tin is 0%.
Amazingly, the RDA of Mountain Dew is also 0%. And while Mountain Dew may refer to moonshine in bluegrass songs (also White Lightning) and history, is it telling that no popular sodas are called Hooch, Giggle Juice or Firewater? (Correct answer: no)
There are fewer songs about crab juice.
Whats the rda for Pork Soda?
If you replace Les Claypools voice with Hank Hill’s its even better!

That doesn’t look like an issue with the oil, most restaurants filter their oil, sometimes multiple times per day. I’d say it’s the technique.
When you deep-fry something, you’re actually using steam to cook the food as the moisture in the food heats up. Ideally you have a balance between the steam pushing out and the oil pushing in. Temp too low, all the steam escapes and oil replaces it and you have soggy, oily food. Temp too high, not enough steam pressure to keep the oil out, so again soggy food, but this time it’s also burnt.
With fries, most good places get around this by cooking their fries twice. Once at a lower temp (300 f) until they turn limp (~8 minutes), then chilled. This drives off some of the moisture and fully cooks the fries, and the chilling step helps the surface starches gelatinize to make the exterior crispy. The second cook you do at a higher temp (~350), but only for a couple of minutes until they look pretty - they’re already cooked so just go by color.
Since there is less moisture in the fry and the exterior forms a shell, the steam inside makes it fluffy instead of gummy.
Plus using a lot of oil prevents the temperature from dropping and having to come back up. Easier to do when your fryer basket is big enough to fry a cat.
