Another deep metaphysical question
If you purchase a large order of french fries, and it weighs in 6 ounces, and then you purchase a small order of french fries, and it weighs 8 ounces, which is which?

5. There's no difference. All orders of frys are mere manifestations of the singular
ideal (Platonic) order of frys. Thus, perceived differences in the orders have their origination in the observer, and in the epistemological framework from within which the consumer interacts with the inconsequentially physical packet of frys...
