I'm kinda ok with freedom fries as it is random restaurants doing whatever they want. It might be silly, but whatever.

Government goes copy and paste over natural gas... for some reason that creeps me out a bit.

No, Freedom Fries was the US Congress' Chair of the Committee on House Administration directing three congressional cafeterias.

Cafeteria, it's petty for sure, but IMO still low enough / unimportant enough for me not to care as much.

For some reason this seems one step into the more wonky / serious thing.

It probabbly also matters that I feel like I've seen other "banana republic" like isms out there.

Remember that Patton Oswalt bit on the KFC Famous Bowls and Double Down sandwiches? Remember when we naive souls thought it couldn't get any worse?
