| A Scoop of Fries Please |
I went to McDonalds the other day, and an interesting question arose. What do you call the container that french fries come in? Please refer to this picture:
A friend of mine called it a box, and I openly mocked him because a fry container clearly does not consist of six square sides. It's not even a rectangle! So what is it called? What do they put on the order form?
I asked around and nobody could agree on a single term. Everyone had their own answer. I think it's a sheath, but other friends called it a pocket, a pouch, a sleeve, etc.
I took it upon myself to call a local packaging company and ask what they call this mystery fry holster. I was shocked to find that they refer to it as a scoop. What?!? Are we talking about fries or ice cream here?
That's about when they hung up on me, but I'm not letting this die. So....
If your answer isn't reflected in the above survey, please voice your opinion in the comment board.
Think outside the sheath,
Matt

Well I chose a pocket because there was no option for a holder.
-
Some people call it a french fry cup, but it is typically called a french fry container.

I usually think of it as a carton, but I hardly ever eat at McDonalds. I do not think it can be called a box though....a box has to close or at least be rectangular, otherwise why not be able to call a pitcher a box or a jug a box? Gotta draw the line somewhere!
