Um... That was unclear?
As to freedom fries, I don't understand why the crazy nuts who were into that sort of thing just changed the name to something equally as indescriptive. We could have just called call them deep-fried potatoes. Or merely could have replaced the "French" bit by calling them chips in order to honor our British allies. Or just have started a national movement to drop the "French" from the name altogether and call them merely "fries." All of this leads to only one possible conclusion: a great many apple pie-loving Americans are enormously stupid when it comes to devising alternate names for various things.

They didn't taste as good.
Didn't we have freedom toast, too?

I'm just sad they didn't start calling it "Freedom Kissing."

It's not. French sex=fellatio in prostitute-speak.

Don't know where I picked that little tidbit up. Probably television as it's not too common a term in these parts as far as I know.
Among my various other pasttimes, though, I do keep appraised on the local prostitution biz (in an entirely non-euphemistic manner). Prostitutes have some really great stories if you ever find yourself discussing the situation with them (I'm usually doing so while collecting their rent, again in an entirely non-euphemistic manner).

I have a French friend who received fellatio from a prostitute, and I'm not aware that that phrase was ever used during their transaction.

While you were all telling your "Freedom Sex" stories, we could've been looking for Jimmy Buffet's lost shaker of salt!
That poor shaker is probably out there in the cold, shivering in the middle branches of a pine tree, trying to stay silent as the pack of wolves that has been chasing him sniffs around the base of the tree. While you sit in your rooms, by your computers, swapping tales about how your genes were forced back into the pool...

I really can't picture a salt shaker lost in Margaritaville having to worry about the cold or wolves. Drowning at high tide perhaps, but not shivering up a pine.

Well... Think about it... How many years ago was it lost in Margaritaville? Perhapses it was drinking too may margaritas and wandered off, ending up in the might pine forests of Oregon.
Which reminds me... Once, a family friend was on a plane. She was sitting next to a geography teacher. Eventually the two started talking and she mentioned that she had recently from Wisconsin to Massachusetts. The geography teacher asks "Oh, really? What's it like moving from the West Coast to the East Cost?"

Actually, they're Douglas Fir and Western Redcedar forests. Pines mostly grow in wimpy little groves on the coast in the Pacific Northwest.

I don't know, we have some pretty solid pines out here in the Rocky Mountain states.
