Not that, y'know, this makes any difference to the issue, but the French are probably speechless and teary-eyed with delight that the Americans have decided to call their fries something else. I imagine your typical Frenchman equates fries with either McDonald's or Belgium or both, and... well. McDonald's. Belgium. Nothing you'd want the name of your country to be associated with, not willingly.

I'm just sayin'.

did you happen to hear about some twitty radio DJ in (i think) Michigan or Minnesota who made a comment something along the lines of "that's why French's mustard is yellow."

you know, because actual mustard seeds (used in most mustards from anywhere, as i recall) aren't yellow. and because French's isn't an American company. XD

still, it leads to good pickup lines, though. if it's going to be referred to as "freedom kissing," that is.

"hey, baby---wanna taste freedom?"
