Americans Answer This

I went to the NASCAR race in Michigan for the weekend (I'm Canadian), I'm not really a fan but its cool to see in person and an excuse to get hammered in Obama-land for a bit. But I go out for breakfast one day, and the waitress goes

"Homefries or Freedom Fries"

 I start laughing and go What are Freedom fries? she goes

"American Fries" ,

then a Canadian I was with goes I think she means French Frys. So I'm like ok I'll take some of your "freedumz friez", she wasn't happy and I got my food 15 minutes later then everyone else at my table. Then I heard her call french toast "freedom toast". I undestand you guys like all your freedumz which you seem to think are exlusively American, but where does this end? Should I take my freedom car to the freedom store to buy some freedom dogs next time I'm down?

Sooo the point of this thread, do you guys all actually call french fries "freedom fries" or this is exclusive to Michigan, or Registered Republicans, or NRA members, or what?

only fuck wads call them that, they are french fries to almost everybody except for some people who think we need to remind ourselves of our freedom and of course something greasy is the way to do it, i would like to apologize on americas behalf and hope that even though they came late your french fries were delicious

About a year or two ago there were people trying to get stuff like that "americanized" you could say. But it never took off

only people living in the year 2002 call them that.

that whole debate over freedom/french fries was probably one of the dumbest things the people of this country have ever done. The US had recently been attacked, we're prepping to start an unpopular war, and what are the people debating? What to call fries.

I didn't know people still did this. everyone here calls them french toast and french fries. Im french though so I never really bought into the whole freedom fries bullshit.

I was really young at the time but if I recall correctly, Americans were pissed at the french for not going to Iraq with them back in 2002 and started saying freedom mustard, freedom fries and freedom toast. I think some guy even poured out all of his french wine in his store after purchasing it just to spite the french.

and they sure proved us French wrong! Iraq has been nothing but a complete success, and 100% of american citizens are all for it even now, 7 years later.

I live in Michigan, and the only people I've ever heard call french fries and french toast freedom fries and freedom toast were the people who have huge 'murican flags outside their trailers and think they are better than everyone else because they're "supporting" their country.

It was so successful gas is now $0.5 a gallon and Iraq is such a nice place to live that none of the soldiers wanna leave right? thats why we're still there...

and before all the dumb-asses start hating, I support the troops but sure as shit don't support the war.
