Do you think the current economic crisis will affect the French Fries sales? I think it would, to some extent. Because, people will be cutting their budget on the snacks. What do you think?

I don't think so. I think it might actually help sales. When people are stressed they tend to eat fried fatty foods. Fast food will never go out of business. More pricey sit down restaurants may be effected, but not the cheap fast food. I saw on the news recently the movie tickets in the US were having their best sales in a long time. The reason...people wanted to escape. Even though watching a movie is an expense its not one people are willing to give up. Just like french fries...mmm.

No I don't think so. i sen a report yesterdaythat fast food sales are actually up. Stress and food go together! LOL Not to mention home cooking has become a thing of the past. People can take their families out for fast food cheaper than a restaraunt so no I don't think it will affect them at all.
