It looks like we won’t be hearing, “Do you want fries with that?” That is because Today is reporting there is a shortage of the potatoes that make them.
Due to the cold weather, farmers produced fewer potatoes and the ones they did produce were shorter. Thus, leading to the shortage.
What will restaurants do? They will serve less or charge more. I guess we will have to try other sides until this national disaster ends.
If this was 1992, then we could have blamed Dan Quayle for the lack of potatoe (get it?) supply. Sadly, it is not.
