«Breaking News» Michigan restaurant changes the name of their 'Crack Fries' citing the drug epidemic

A Michigan restaurant is changing the name of their famous 'Crack Fries' to a title that's less offensive.

Hopcat, a popular chain based in Ann Arbor, announced on Tuesday it would rename their Crack Fries citing that the drug epidemic is no laughing matter, while assuring customers the award-winning recipe would remain the same.  

'We chose the name more than 11 years ago as a reference to the addictive quality of the fries and their cracked pepper seasoning, without consideration for those the drug negatively affected. We were wrong,' the chain said in a statement on Tuesday.  

'The crack epidemic and the lasting impact on those it affects is not funny and never was,' the chain added.  

Michigan restaurant chain Hopcat announced on Tuesday it will change the name of their famous Crack Fries after creating the dish 11 years ago, to be more considerate of victims of the drug epidemic

In a statement on Tuesday the company said: 'The crack epidemic and the lasting impact on those it affects is not funny and never was'

The restaurant chain explained that the name change will be a part of a company-wide menu reprint to take effect in mid-January and is a move to better support the community. 

'Our vision for creating an inclusive company that supports our communities, shows love for our team and best serves our guests is not compatible with the continued use of the Crack Fries name,' the chain said. 

Hopcat also thanked community members who flagged the controversial nature of the Crack Fries name. 

'We want to thank our guests, employees and community members who have helped us come to this realization and apologize for the pain the name brought to others,' the company statement said.

'We are grateful for the support we’ve received over the years and your love of our fries. While we know it will take time to get used to this change, we are confident in our decision. It is not only the right thing to do, it reflects who we are,' the statement closed.  

The fries were honored by Food Network as among America's 10 Best French Fries, according to Madison.com. 

The Crack Fries are so popular for the Michigan chain that the restaurant hods an annual fries eating contest to celebrate.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
