Here is the true key to understanding exits like this.
First, there was the UK. They have chips. They don't call them "French fries" or "Belgian fries". It was time to leave to make sure there is no misunderstanding.
France might be next. You can't blame them. Who would want their French fries being called "Belgian fries"?
The Germans? There is are no "German fries" or "das chips" to conflict with usurpation by Belgians.
Zack, you are with me on this, right?
