Talk about yam fries. They are an unknown phenomenon. They appear on their own and disappear into nothing, some faster than others. 50 grams eaten at night turn into 3 kilos of chub the next day.

By the way, we got stuff to show you today that moves on its own. How's that connected? I am not sure….
