French fries are a favorite go-to of many people. While many people believe that the food item originated in France, it actually originated in Belgium. According to stories, some Belgian villagers got the notion of slicing a potato and frying it in the same way they fried fish. The Belgians speak fluent French, hence the name stuck.

French fries were introduced to Americans during World War I while the soldiers were stationed in Belgium, and this is how the world got one of the most favorite food items.

To commemorate the day, companies frequently start rolling out their National French Fries Day deals around the first week of July. The sales of these promotions typically last a week.
