Hmmmmmmm…

Apparently when something is fried it’s called French. I have no idea why.

Depends on where you're at. In England they call them "chips".

And they also swap “chips” with “crisps”

Indeed they do.

I forgot about that.

For the same reason we call it French Toast even though it comes from Bavaria: World War 1. We were mad at the Germans but the French were our allies, so we rebranded them.
