Gotta love marketing...

Marketing is just that marketing, if your not going to be happy with someone trying to sell their product with flashy slogans and fancy buzz words your not going to buy anything.

I from this day forward will never buy a french fry again until they make an organic healthy fry.

I will never buy another non stick frying pan until I can Actually use metal utensils in it without removing the non stick coating

I will never buy another car unless I can actually get the MPG they advertise.

 

I will never again chase a woman with a large behind unless said behind can be compared side by side with Donkey Kong and truly be said to have it going on by at least an equal amount.

 

I don't understand how those thieves can get away with calling them French. I disagree with the use of that word in marketing!

Those potatoes aren't from France at all!

That's IT BOYCOTT THEM ALL!

 

I bet part of their motivation is that they have removed one-step in their process, which means it saves them time and money, and then the bonus marketing ploy so it all costs them less, and they sell more fries for the same price.

Actually I find similar things to be real pissers (kick in the pants). Some company will find a way to do something in a much simpler and cheaper manner and then they will tout some new advantage, and charge us more, when their costs went down.

I recently heard a commercial for a $$ naturalish food product that was saying their product was so much better because they used pure cane juice, not refined sugar. So they used a less refined product (cheaper to buy) and are charging us more for the final product. Plus "pure cane sugar juice" WTF does that mean? There is nothing pure about unrefined cane juice. Does that mean I can say my beer is pure, because it only has beer in it?

 

You should've seen the face of the girl at the first Burger King I went to when I came to the US, when, with my almost non existent English at the time, I was trying to buy a burger and some "fried potatoes"...

 

I seem to barely remember that ad...
Anyways the pure sugarcane juice is exactly that. They take the sugarcane, and run it through a machine very similar to a roller type grain crusher, extracting the juice.
If you ever come to Miami, and you see somebody selling "guarapo", try it. It's really good (sweet as hell, but good).

 

Funny thing is, they have to ADD steps that both Five-Guys and In-N-Out don't have to do since both of them slice their potatoes in-house just before they go in the fryer.
