Vending Machine Cooks, Then Serves Fresh French Fries in 90 Seconds

Belgians claim to have invented and perfected what we Americans call French fries. Belgians, though, call them frites and cook them in beef fat. They're also now available on demand in Belgium, thanks to a newly-invented vending machine:

Customers pay €2.50 (£2.13) for a 90-second fry-up of a 135g portion of chips accompanied by fork, salt and ketchup or mayonnaise, with or without harissa, but definitely without the customary moules. Three filters are meant to cut out the smell of the frying.

With a few modifications, perhaps we could have a poutine vending machine.

ooh, when does the countertop version come out?
nothing like waking up to the smell of fries in the morning. Besides, I need something to counteract my big mug of coffee, bring me down a little O_o

The color may have been intended to match the Finnish flag, which seems to be on the front covers of their music.

Liturgical colors are quite confused; I tried to find a definitive set for a church Web site once, but all the references were full of such disclaimers as "some churches use", "traditionally", "if purple is used", and so forth. So I just asked the pastor, who gave me a list, and if anyone ever complains I'll just refer them to him.
