CHefs Industrialized Potatoe Strips
Behold the drive-thru of the California Highway Patrol: Fry me a river, has 'CHIPS' stopped working again?
Welcome to another in our series of digital signage behaving poorly. Today, the revelation through the medium of Windows that "chips" is, of course, the correct word for delicious bits of fried potato. There's a saying in the Bork office, located deep within the bowels of Vulture Central: "It's not McDonald's. It can't be …

Re: Chips Have no Implication of Potato Starch
There are other things in there as well. If you look on the website the fries are not listed as gluten free. I strongly suspect they dip their anaemic scrawny potato pieces in flour to better crisp them up and of course allow the use of cheaper quality spuds.
I’ve done that with sweep potato fries. GF flour, sweet potato flour in fact, touted as a crisperising agent.

Re: Chewing Hard Indigestible Potato Skins, perhaps?
One the one occasion I went into a McD and ordered a cheese burger they told me I couldn't have one. They were still serving the breakfast menu apparently. So I bought a rather nice cheese burger from a van in the market outside their shop. Not been in a McD since.

Re: Do you want fries...?
They used to be a hell of a lot better until a SJW named Phil Sokolof got to 'em and made McDonald's stop... well... actually frying them.

Wikipedia doesn't say how Sokolof died, but I can only hope it was a slow painful lingering heart attack. I hates him, I does, my precious. I pray he's burning in hell in a pool of beef tallow.

Company Has Inadequately Paid Staff
With thanks to Derek who came up with the above back in the 1980s when we both worked for a company called CHIPS which, at the time, stood for something like Computer Harmony & Information Processing Services (I might be wrong but it was a long time ago). We all thought it was a bit naff so there was an in-house "competition" to think up a new bunch of words for it. Once Derek's suggestion was submitted, the whole thing was dropped like a hot potato (sorry!).

CHIPS
I just love that some techie has taken the time and (of course) care to come up with an acronym that spells CHIPS (Car Hop Inbound Processing System would be my half-baked (insert your own punchline) guess), but also that once Big Ronald finds out about this he'll probably explode and collapse with rage that the official term "fries" hasn't been used, hehe…
