That’s A LOT of Potato’s!

Are you a fan of the FRENCH FRY? If you’re NOT . . . you are definitely in the minority! According to a recent report, the average American eats 17 POUNDS of fries each year. Enough to fill 155,833 school buses (not sure why that’s the comparison they chose). Fries are the most popular in Virginia. 28 states prefer the basic, “straight-and-seasoned” fries (Including OHIO). Shoestring fries are the most popular in 5 states, Curly fries are #1 in 4 states, Crinkle-cut fries tops in 4 states, and waffle fries only got love in one state (Colorado). 63% of people agree that fries can be considered a main dish, not just a side. The top seasonings ranged from the classic salt or garlic powder, to more exotic like Parmesan, Old Bay, paprika, and cayenne. The top dips were classics as well, ketchup, ranch, and cheese sauce. 77% of people claim they’d share their fries if they were eating with a group of people. And 65% admit they’ve stolen fries from someone else’s plate.
