MCD fries are bionic at this point - more chemical than actual potato. The INO fries are pure, unadulterated potato with a light dusting of salt after a quick cooking bath in oil.

If they taste bland, it's probably because our taste buds have been thrown out of whack by MCD, BK and the like - and their engineered flavors, chemicals and other undisclosed alterations.
