Is this an attack by the French? Retaliation for the whole "Freedom Fries" debacle?

**DoucheMcCloud** · 08-22-2008, 01:49 PM

I wonder if this includes the 17 packs at Costco?

Did they really have to recall Mangino's lunch?

Sorry......Somebody's gonna say it - better to be a KU fan.

I was wondering the same thing? How can they tell the difference between "foreign materials" and what they normally put on them?
