I recommend to everyone to try french fries. if you haven't tried french fries, I actually believe you have been living under a rock like a sad, clueless bug, unexposed to the deliciousness of salted potato sticks. But there is something above french fries. something even better. It is almost not of this earth with how incredibly, wonderfully, delicious this gift from the earth is. Long ago, in 1979, in a land far far away, called America, a man, an inspired and enlightened man, if you will, named Edgar Matsler, invented the very first waffle fry cutting machine. What could be better? than fries, yet instead of the thin cut shape, the waffle fry's unique shape allows for better dipping material. With more surface area, less volume and the even holes cut by the waffle fry blade, waffle fries cook both faster and much more evenly, allowing for a crispy exterior and moist heaven on the inside. For these same reasons, one could even reduce the oil temperature, saving energy, and still maintain quality output, proving once again the superiority of waffle fries. Not to mention that they simply taste better because everyone knows that if something is shaped as a waffle it tastes better. Edgar Matsler nobley presented his waffle fry cutting machine to the world 's largest producer of potatoes, none other than Lamb-Weston. However the presentation went wrong, and the fries unfortunately did not come out as they were meant to. Edgar Matsler, despite his genius contribution to the French fry industry, was turned away, and perchance, had the story ended here, the world would never have experienced the joy of life known as waffle fries. Perchance, had his work been buried, our waffle fry-less lives would be changed forever, devoid of hopes and dreams and yummy, mouthwatering crosshatches of potatoes. Yet the story does not end here. Edgar Matsler, after the failed presentation at Lamb-Weston, had taken his fries and signed instead with J.R. Simplot. Years later, in 1983, betrayal strikes. Lamb-Weston releases "CrissCut"; Frozen. Waffle. Fries. That's right, stolen, downright stolen is what they are, and they even have the audacity to attempt to patent their process of freezing waffle fries after making them. Shock ripples through the fried potato community, but all is not lost. McCain Foods, brave knight in shining armor, a.k.a a frozen food company, steps in to stop this savagery. They tell Lamb-Weston, that they cannot patent this product, for Edgar Matsler, our damsel in distress, already has the patent for making waffle fries. Furthermore there is another party involved, the Strong Process, which is a patent for freezing fries. Yet, Lamb-Weston refuses to back down, and all parties involved charge into court to settle this legendary battle once and for all. Lamb-Weston argues that Matsler's invention had been presented to them under a nondisclosure agreement, and to the common and untrained person it would not occur to them that one could make frozen waffle fries. The court responded however, that rather than the machine having had frozen fries, the potatoes that Matsler had cut had clearly been frozen; anyone could see that. Matsler had even handed out fries as a demonstration to some Dairy Queen and McDonald's customers, and any of them could figure out the fries had been frozen. Thus, the legendary battle over waffle fries was resolved. Lamb-Weston lost and their patent was invalidated. Soon after in 1985, Waffle Fries were rolled out to the community, Chik-fil-A holding the prize and adding this essential side to their menu. Now, thanks to the hard fought court battles, the invention of Edgar Matsler, and the brilliant peace keeping of McCain Foods, the world has been blessed with waffle fries. We all have them to thank, for changing the world. One fry at a time. ]]> 2023-02-07 14:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/stellaalmeida25/lwz37qujwk05y8z1/wish/2471854331
