Nah, it's American now, just like pizza, football, and Christianity. If it touches these Purple Mountains Majesty™©®, it belongs to us. Shit, even if it doesn't touch us, but has, like, some cool stuff that we want, then that's our's too. It's our Manifest Destiny.

No, we're still bitter about it. Give us back the statue of Liberty, and good old Louisana before that idiot of an emperor sold it to you.

Make France Great Again!

Your new national dish shall be croissants and ratatouille if you don't comply.

We colonized croissants a looooong time ago, pal! Or have you not heard of Burger King's Le Croissandwich?

You're right, Burger King was always good in France compared to the other fastfood places. I give up.

First off, we don't want anything French -- I'll remind you we renamed "French Fries" to "Freedom Fries".

Second, we use the standard "blue whale" as a unit for large volumes.

She was made in France, but I think she's supposed to be MENA descent. Possibly Egyptian, or Persian?

Memes from the Fediverse? That's a good sign.

Volume should be fairly easy to calculate. Just flip her over and fill her up with slushee and tell us how many big gulps it took. It's like these math nerds aren't even trying.
