What does "crisp-o-matic" do/mean on the Burger King "frypod"?

Question

While eating my lunch today at Burger King I noticed a little contraption on the side of the container with my fries. The "crisp-o-matic" is labeled and looks like a half circle shape on either side of the container. An example can be found here.

WHAT DOES THIS DO! Is their a point? Is it useful or just an excuse to charge me top price for french fries (although they are delicious...)

Answer 1

I don't know exactly what it is but those Fry's are awesome!

I think your supposed to stick a fry in the hole and you twist it. If it breaks the fry is crisp!

Answer 2

crisp-o-matic is the machine they use to cook the rats

Answer 3

the holes let the steam escape so the fries don't get soggy as quickly (but they cool off faster!)
