No. They switched to Pretzel fries now.
Ironbite-good but totally need a sauce.

Or cheese filling. Or both.

The whole thing is stupid, but what's especially dumb is her throwing shade on Gary Sinise for his role in Forrest Gump:
--- Quote ---I was quite young when I saw Forrest Gump. I didn’t know who Gary Sinise was then (sorry, Gary) and for the first time IN MY LIFE, I saw another human being whose body looked like mine, a double above-the-knee amputee (don’t get me started on the fact that he was a man — lack of female perspective is a separate letter altogether). Then I found out that Gary was able-bodied, wearing long green socks on his lower legs, and they erased them out of the film. And in that instant, I felt erased too.
--- End quote ---
Um, you know Lt. Dan has functional legs for most of the Vietnam scenes, right? What were they supposed to do, force Sinise to become an amputee for real?
