Am I the only one that found that French fries illustration to be terrible? Cheesy picture that purports to be a "chart", that shows 2 values, plus the cryptical legend "French fries do not reflect actual earnings-per-share gains." And I'm not even much of a Tufte fanatic myself.

- sili 15y agoIt didn't even register as a chart related to the story for me. I thought it was an add for MdDonald's (key of the article content) and ignored it.
