Finger Licking Depression

I've been working from home (pretty much) for about 6 months now and the depression is starting to seep in on me.  You can imagine how my spirits were lifted when I started seeing the commercials for the new KFC Secret Recipe Fries that were being touted as "Seasoned with a secret blend of herbs and spices and fried to crispy perfection like our world-famous chicken, Secret Recipe Fries are unrivaled in flavor."


How exciting!  Finally a fast food place is gonna give fries the respect they deserve.  I hustled right out and got some.  Mmmmm...marketing....


I got a regular size and a "family size. The one on the left is regular and the one on the right is the family.  WTF?  What a rip.

Weirdest spork I've ever seen for scale. Oh well, it won't matter since they're gonna be so good right?

They looked okay.

But no.  Apparently the 7 secret spices are salt, salt, chicken bouillon with extra salt, salt, more salt, more extra salt, and a pinch of salt.  These things were borderline uneatable - and they certainly didn't taste like the chicken.  The new kitten licked a few and then barfed under the couch.

I dunno if I got a batch or what, but the fact that it took them 18 minutes to make them indicates that they were at least "fresh".  FAIL.  Why do I keep subjecting myself to this abuse?
