I agree with you on the fries. Once they cool, they are simply inedible.
I think they’ve found a way to pulverize potatos in bulk add a little sawdust or whatever, and then form them into compressed “cut fries”. Maybe even adding the step of compressing the stuff into a generic potato and cut it so there are little wedge pieces....I don’t know, but it wouldn’t surprise me based on what their current “meat” products look and taste like.
