Davis Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 "While the name Crack Fries was intended to be tongue-in-cheek, drug addiction is not a joke," Mark Gray, CEO of BarFly Ventures, HopCat's parent company, said Monday in a Youtube video and blog post. "The drug crack has devastated many of the communities that we serve." Menus, signs and posters are being redesigned, with a yet-to-be announced name change in January. The more-than 11-year-old recipe for the beer-battered fries, with salt and pepper among a secret blend of seasonings, is to remain intact.

Moderators dtel Posted December 12, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 12, 2018 It's not funny to make a joke when your hurt and didn't get your way, and I might be offended by that as soon as I figure out why, trying to figure out the angle that best suits me.

Bosco-d-gama Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I have a son who’s ruined his life with drugs and I know too many families with similar tragedies. Being cavalier with drug analogies is offensive, personally for myself. Also I feel it lightloads drug use/abuse - and - ‘crack’ is among the worst drugs to become involved with. It was an irresponsible name to begin with. I hope that nobody ever has to see their child shriveled and wasted. Every drug zombie is a victim and every dealer is a murderer. Feel free to call me a ‘snowflake’. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Snowflake. Crack is a phenomenon brought on by the federal government. Yeah it's horrible alright. The supporters of past regimes gloss over the fact of how it came to be. Crack was not invented anywhere but in the USA, and the supply that made it possible was because of arms for money to buy arms for a "contra" cause which then became drugs for money to buy arms for the same cause which was in direct opposition to the will of the people who voted in a free election against these "contras." So, a certain warped sense of humor can see the irony in calling a tasty product crack fries. The point is that crack fries is not so much as an analogy for drugs as it is an analogy for something which is an unintended (or maybe not even cared about?) consequence of a policy which was morally wrong from its inception.

That's an odd way to look at it, kind of like how McDonald's makes people fat? Let me guess you support being able to sue gun manufacturers for gun violence? If a drunk driver crashes and kills some family on their way home from church should the car company be held liable? The beer company?

I seriously doubt if either group deployed your logic (right or wrong) in their decisions or their intentions. Bottom line: 😔 Wrong choices do not ever excuse more wrong choices.

oldtimer Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Just for your benefit let's see what the differences are. McDonalds is a private corporation serving shitty food that is bad for you in certain quantities but is perfectly legal, and if consumed responsibly, (which to a rational mind means don't eat there) is not a public health threat. The federal government flooding the country with drugs for whatever reason is a completely different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fries are not the problem, regardless of their name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
