I believe it but reporting was done based on a single internet survey with self reported answers.
*Ifop study for NYC.eu ****conducted by online self-administered questionnaire from 14 to 17 March 2025 among a representative national sample of **1,000 people, *representative of the French population aged 18 and over.
On the rainy Grands Boulevards in Paris on Friday, the branches of McDonald’s and KFC were doing brisk business.
There was little sign of “le boycott” – a movement among French customers to reject American brands and products made in the US, in protest at Donald Trump’s trade tariffs and anti-Europe rhetoric.
“Toi know quoi? Fuck toi.” *un-freedoms ton fries *
I find it no longer difficult to avoid McDonald’s - not cheap as it used to be and we have alternatives for same price or a couple of euros more. Mdco is no longer fast to prepare food. They also have reduced size of burgers (big tasty that use to be larger has now the same size of a big mac).
McDonald’s - I (don’t) like it. 🍔 ☹️ Coca Cola and Tesla too ☹️ ☹️
Even French fries?
Why we would boycott our fries? (or more precisely, our Belgian fries?)
We have nothing to loose by boycotting USA food anyway.
Quite funny, in the Netherlands they are also known as „Vlaamse friet”, so Flemish. If I remember correctly they were taken to the Netherlands by Belgian refugees in the First World War, so that explains why they’re called that.
They’re now generally seen as Dutch here, though. And you only really see „Vlaamse friet” in advertising, because it sounds a bit more interesting. The common names are friet(jes) and patat (there’s a war going on between these two).
