Fruit correction

According to an article I just read on MSNBC, "Burger King will use U.S. grown apples that are cut and packaged in a sterile environment and subjected to a pre-wash that contains lemon to keep them from turning brown, said Burger King spokesman Keva Silversmith." I thought they were fried, since they weren't brown. Still, marketing apples to look like french fries still seems like brainwashing...

McDonalds has had sold apple slices for as an alternative to fries, but they look like apple slices. The funny good thing is my kids don't want the fries they want the apples. The bigger trick for me is hiding the caramel sauce that comes with them. Luckily most of the time the employees forget. So I think Burger King is trying to catch up, and brainwash our children. ; )
