a hidden attack of/comparison to Simplot brands Explanation: is what this amounts to. Simplot Foods has 3 varieties all called Long Fancies, i.e. Grand Valley Long Fancies, Marine Long Fancies and Pride Long Fancies. As the name implies, these fries are rather long. YOu can see more of it under the references below type in "French fries long and fancy" in Google Reference: http://www.simplotfoods.com |

comparision with competition Explanation: The 'long' adjective might refer to the length of the fries that the competition offers, and the word 'fancy' implies that, either the competition price is higher, or that the competition offering is more popular. So, the french fries being praised about must be shorter, and are either less pricey, or (at the moment) "less" fancied/popular ... Hth |

Comment Explanation: This is quite a puzzle, Zhoudan. What gives me pause is the phrase "resulting in a healthier potato." Could this be about potato seedlings used to grow potatoes for french fries? "A strong value alternative to long fancy alternative" - to me this means that whatever the product is that's being offered provides greater value than the "long fancy" alternative. Again, if this is about potato seedlings, "long fancy" could be a potato variety. So, the text you've got tells me that it's not about the benefits of certain french fries, but about the benefits of a certain potato variety. But I could be way off. |
