Potato Smileys 

a french fry that has been flattened and shaped into a circle, with two eyes and a smiley mouth cut out. These greasy delicacies were created in hopes that they would cheer up fat, overweight children in schools across America. But, sadly these happy potato snacks are eaten as regularly as normal french fries, potato wedges, tater-tots, or curly fries. There is still debate about the true reason behind all the extra work put into school food such as this, considering the fact that school lunch is still disgusting and noone enjoys it.
