McDonalds ran out of...

FRENCH FRIES!!!
How can McDonalds be out of french fries, that doesn't seem possible.  Aren't french fries one of the main menu items?  Well, even though we have McDonalds here, it is just a little different.  Last night John went out to dinner with friends, so to make it easy I (Erin) ordered McDonalds, yes they also deliver.  Shortly after completing my order I recieved a call to inform me my nieghborhood McD's was out of "large french fries."  I asked if I could order another size, but I was then informed they were out of "potatoes."  I couldn't believe it.  I'm not the biggest fan of McDonalds, but I can always enjoy the french fries. 
Familiar fast food chains can be so different in other places.  I smile when I see menu boards full of rice and fried chicken rather than burgers and french fries.  At KFC your food is served on 'real' (ceramic) plates, but napkins and silverware are hard to come by.  You can't even find napkin despensers next to the condiments, but don't worry there are sinks outside the bathrooms to wash your hands after eating. 
Differences pop up in the funniest of places.
