I'm not from the US but remember the Freedom Fries weirdness. Are they still around? If not, how long did they last?
It was mostly in the cafeteria at the Pentagon. Didn’t last very long because people said it was “stupid”
It never actually caught on in the mainstream, but it was widely reported on. Kind of like the movement to rename french toast or any of the other manufactured outrages one finds on cable news here. It started after the French objected to the invasion of Iraq, but was only really in the media for a couple years at most.
