I see Trump is taking up two slots at the top. I wonder if combining him might be wise. I only slotted in one vote for him as he is, well, one person.
Same.
Trump gets two scoops of everything.
Has a discussion broken out?
- Sure looks like one

I would really recommend sticking to the no discussion rule. My post was simply asking if any presidents like Cleveland or Trump should just receive on placement on the poll.
Should we move further discussion of the presidential poll to the discussion thread?
- Yes
- No
- Something else i will say in the discussion thread

Your favorite French fry cut:
I have included this handy chart for reference, but I did not include everything from the chart in the poll because 1) A few of them are not cuts but just fries with a topping. 2) I do not consider tater tots, cottage fries, pommes souffles, “potato tornado”, and that smiley thing to be “French fries”. They’re all their own thing. I’ve never even heard of the latter two.
- Standard cut (your bog standard American fast food fry)
- Waffle fries
- Curly fries
- Crinkle cut
- Shoestring / matcstick fries
- Steak fries
- Belgain fries
- British chips
- Potato wedges
- Other French fry cut
