    Sober, I put aside a few chips at the end and tried it. Ate two, the other few went into the bin - not even tomato ketchup could save them

    It's weird, I love and need vinegar with chips, yet never have I eaten the McDonald's "chips"
    with vinegar. I think vinegar is really better for chipper chips.

    McDonald "chips" are an insult to the chip world.

    I don't know why, but I find the vinegar in this country and in the UK horrible. Horrible, rotten stuff.

    Though I love the vinegar they have in Canada and the States.

    AFAIK, and it could just be an urban myth, but McDonalds are not allowed call them chips due to them being made up primarily of water and starch, hence 'would you like fries with that'.

    Also, and this could defintely be an urban myth, McDonald's don't serve vinegar as it makes the chips turn into mush and pretty much disintegrate.

    If you leave them in vinegar long enough yeah, like any chip would. But doesn't happen if you're just throwing a bit on to eat while they're hot.

    Balderdash!!Shenanigans!!

    They are called "fries" as in short for French fries. Chips means crisps in the US. Vinegar is not popular in the US, they use ketchup. Ketchup is mostly vinegar. Vinegar can make most thin chips mush the same way they can do it to thick chips. American food served around the world making only slight variations for local markets. [insert Pulp Fiction dialogue]

    Except we're not in the US.. and McD's tend to use the local vernacular. They're not called fries in most of Europe for example. Maybe they were just lazy because we're English speaking, but who knows.

    Fries, French Fries - the same thing.
    My point was they are not allowed to call them chips, which was leading on to my point about vingear on them.

    Why don't they serve vinegar in Mcdonald's? I don't think it is because it is not popular in the US.
    As prinz said, we are not in the US.

    No they don't. Have you been in Mc Donald's in a non English speaking country? They use a lot of English in the menu. They are called fries in most places in Mc Donald's. McDonald's intentionally keep to the same naming around the world as part of their franchise. Irish businesses call the fries too, Supermacs use both fries and chips

    They could call the chips they choose not to, the same way KFC did not change the name to avoid the use of the word "chicken".

    I think the French have words for happy and meal too

    frites, pommes etc. I have lived in 3 European countries and in none of them was the anglicised 'fries' used.

    http://www.mcdonalds.fr/#/menu-happy-meal/ run your mouse over the fries there, and what does it tell you? oh yes petite frites.... not petite french fries

    Pommes frites in Germany...
