Let's Celebrate

I just got some great news! Today is National French Fry day! That makes me kind of excited because I love nothing more than some french fries--steak, waffle, curly, shoestring--I love them all! So, let's all join together in celebration.

Fry Facts:

- In 2005, it is estimated that 11 million tons of factory-made french fries were produced worldwide.

- Both France and Belgium claim they invented french fries.

- McDonald's uses about 7% of the potatoes grown in the U.S. for their french fries.
