Ugh I predict another wave of idiots yelling "Freedom Fries"

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

but then again, it was fun back then triggering the conservatives by merely calling them french fries. lol

sometimes you got to look at life's silver linings to keep your sanity going. lol

Never thought of it that way!

Can "Iran fries" be a thing?

Or maybe since fries is already taken, we can rename "chili" to "Irani stew"?

First off, that would be awesome. I stupidly never saved any of my old freedom fries receipts, and I've always regretted that.

Unfortunately for me, our political system is so radically different from the early 2000s, that I don't think that specific type of cultural short circuit is possible.
