BLUE BELL, Pa., June 2, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Tasty Fries, Inc. (OTCBB:TFRY) announced today that it has successfully completed the test cycle of its French fry vending machine located at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. "Our machine averaged 88.6 vends per day Monday through Friday and 12.8 vends per day on the weekends. Twenty percent of all sales were complimentary in order to generate customer awareness. We have gained valuable data and customer reactions to our machine and product. We plan to incorporate minor modifications to the machine such as an illuminated front panel, customer order status and a nutritional profile of our product," stated Edward C. Kelly, President and CEO of Tasty Fries, Inc. Tasty Fries has moved its machine from Bellevue Hospital and installed it at a Shell gas station located at 68 East Route 59, Spring Valley, New York. This location was chosen to evaluate the machine in an outdoor environment. The machine has been operational at this location since May 15, 2005, and will be at this location for a minimum of five weeks. The second machine, which we had anticipated to place at Bellevue Hospital on April 19, 2005, has not and will not be installed.
