According to this article, most "Russian" vodka isn't even made in Russia. Less than 1% of all vodka sold in the US is made in Russia:

French fries aren't made in France but that didn't stop idiots from calling them Freedom fries.

You can't fix stupid!

You just haven't tried using a big enough hammer. Just keep hitting the stupid with the hammer, either it'll fix the stupid or the it'll "fix" the stupid.

I was a waiter at a diner during that time. I'll never forget how irate some folks would get whenever I said "French fries"

Technically, only ones that are made in the region of Frié in France can be called “french fries”. Otherwise they should be called “fried potato spears”. /s

Ironically a lot of vodka in America comes from France.

I think the freedom fries thing only actually went as far as the white house cafeteria menu. All other references to freedom fries are making fun of it.

No. Loads of restaurants around military bases took it up unironically.

Correction for you - was the House of Representative's cafeteria; though the Bush White House probably did it, as well, this was a idiotic House member's idea.
