Joe: Looks like you and I are the only ones that still believe in this one. I wonder if the release copied below will stir up the waters tomorrow. Thursday July 23, 3:53 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release Tasty Fries Inc. Nears Completion of Production Units BLUE BELL, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 23, 1998--Tasty Fries Inc. (OTC: TFRY - news), a development stage company which has commenced the commercial production of its French fry vending machine, announced Thursday it is nearing completion of its first production units. Edward C. Kelly, president and CEO of Tasty Fries stated, ''Ninety-five percent of our tooled components have been accepted into the production units.'' The launch will commence with the placement of the company's initial production machines in August at universities located in the New England area prior to the commencement of the academic school year. The remaining machines will be located in various high traffic locations in the Philadelphia area. According to Kelly, ''the Tasty Fries machine will be the first production French fry vending machine that works, period, without the inherent design and technical problems which plague all of the companies who are trying to compete with us. ''For this reason,'' Kelly said, ''we recently rejected the final two molded parts received from our suppliers because they did not meet our design specifications. This delay will not effect the placement of our machines in either location.'' The Tasty Fries(TM) vending machine is a revolutionary advance -- one of the first multi-patented vending machines to prepare, cook and dispense French fries with the flavor, aroma and texture of freshly cut French fries. Total vend time is a little less than one and a half minutes. Tasty Fries are made from a top-quality Idaho russet potato and cooked in cholesterol-free oil using a patented state-of-the-art robotic technology. The machines are expected to be located in high-traffic locations such as universities, airports, bus and train stations, schools, military bases, theaters, work areas and recreational venues. Except for any historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this press release contain ''forward looking statements'' that involve risks and uncertainties which are described in the company's SEC reports.
