> - a fully prepared container goes bad super fast, even in the fridge. I chalk this up to being full of nutrients, it's kind of like the opposite of McDonald's French Fries -- which will stay in good shape for months, even away from refrigeration.

Just remember that potatoes are supposed to store energy for the plant for months, so they are naturally resistant to rotting. (Cutting them reduce the durability, but frying them and adding salt increase the durability.) If you put the French Fries in a blender with some water, the mix will get rot in a few days.



Not to mention that it's not just McDonald's Fries that don't rot: it's all fries. The experiment failed to use a control, but one guy didn't, and posted the video of homemade fries with salt also not rotting.
