Didn't that get changed to "freedom" fries, after the French did not join the "war on terror". And the US tried to ship back a whole lot of war dead (from WW2). And the mustard company Frenches hastily declared that the name came from a family name and they were not french... but lost a few points on the stock index anyway.

(Insert comparison to the UK here)
