Serious outrage over french fries

[Racket_Man]

Another first world problem

Crinkle vs Straight Cut Fries

The scene:A hotdog stand in Maine. The owners make a business decision. When the place was opened in 1962 they served crinkle cut fries. In 2014 business closes. In 2017 new owners open the place up and use old owners standards. FF to 2018 new owner Finds that crinkle cut fry cutter uses crap blades and the machine is kinda unreliable. Very expensive to keep doing crinkle cut fries (50% of just fry sales are going for just blades and machine upkeep). Switches to straight cut fries. NO change for the fries except the cut NOTHING ELSE order size is the same cooking is the same.....

here is the First World PROBLEM: town explodes in outrage with the standard threats of violence and death for the whole family.

The wife makes impassioned post on FaceBook ending with (paraphrase here) I you have to make physical threats over some fries you have bigger problems.

That's...that's just sad. o_O


I wish the business owner and his family good fortune, and a lack of such assholes, in the future.

The publicity on the other hand...

Rachel Ray has reached out to him along with reporters from a Chinese news source.

Planning a vacation for late next month. Was thinking of going to Maine. Might swing by. I am wondering if his hotdogs will live up to my Chicago standards. If not, I will not threaten bodily harm.

Exactly. From what I know about some Mainers, I shouldn't be surprised. They're kind of...sheltered...up there. Apologies to any people in Maine who are sane. Your cohorts are making you look bad.
