KFC, on the other hand, definitely use real potatoes. You can tell because their chips frequently still have the wireworm burrows in them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upper case "K" is the SI unit for temperature - the kelvin. As explained as: "For historical reasons, the kilogram is the only coherent SI unit that includes a prefix in its name and symbol. Names and symbols for decimal multiples and sub-multiples of the unit of mass are formed by attaching prefix names and symbols to the unit name “gram” and the unit symbol “g” respectively. For example, 10−6 kg is written as milligram, mg, not as microkilogram, μkg" 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it grimly reassuring that potatoe is at least the #1 ingredient? But what about all the rest? I had to find-out what some of those things are. Tertiary butylhydroquinone, or TBHQ "is a synthetic antioxidant that is added to foods to prevent or delay oxidation." polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) "is a form of silicone used as an antifoaming agent in food with the European food additive number E900" 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
