20 some years ago when that happened, I remember saying "What? That's stupid....". I was a teenager at the time. I was yelled at by adults saying "NO! IT'S NOT STUPID!!! WE'RE AMERICANS!!! FREEDOM FRIES ARE AN AMERICAN FOOD!!! WE GROW POTATOES IN IDAHO!!! NOT PARIS!!!!"

Today, I'm 41. Teenager me wasn't immature. Well, ok, I was, on a lot of things. But NOT on this. 41 year old me looks back and says teenager me was right.

This IS stupid.

French fries then, french fries now.

I use the term "freedom units" whether someone tells me that they're 6 shoes and 2 toenails tall instead of using metric.
