== Drooping? ==
"[Chips]... are very similar to French fries, the distinction being that fries are much thinner and may droop. A chip, by contrast, will always remain straight even when a little pressure is applied."
Surely the other way around? A cardboardy fry could be used to jab someone in the eye after being cooked; by contrast, a thicker chip tends to be softer and therefore more liable to drooping. Stand on a dropped fry and it might puncture your shoe - whereas a chip gets mashed into your sole. [[User:Anton Sweeney|Anton Sweeney]] 18:24, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
