      French fries truly are French.
      In short, french fries originale from Paris (they were fried cut potatoes), it was quitte popular with the poor.
      Then, when it wasn't, it became popular in Belgium (the country gave it the shape that we know now) and it travelled BACK TO France.
      French fries are indeed French 😉

      There is more to this: the name comes from an old Finnish roadside add that said "Jeesus pelastaa" meaning "Jesus saves" and then that turned the tape into "Jeesus teippi" because the tape saves you (sometimes better that Jesus...)
      Also: In Finnish the "proper" name for "Jeesus teippi" is "ilmastointiteippi" (meaning aircon tape) but usually we use the word "jesari" which is the shortened/"slang" version of "Jeesus teippi"

    Duct tape was actually called duck tape originally.This was either because it was the color green and repelled water like a duck OR because it was similar fo strips pf cotton duck (no one knows the exact reason).
    And it was made for soldiers by a mother that was concerned for her child’s safety. (They needed something to seal their cartridges/ammunition from moisture and water, but their original method took a while to remove and could cost their lives if the enemy was near.)
    Although the official named inventor is Johnson and Johnson.

    From Google: Duct tape was originally named “Duck” tape and originally only came in green, not silver. Duct tape was originally invented by Johnson & Johnson's Permacel division during WWII for the military. The military specifically needed a waterproof tape that could be used to keep moisture out of ammunition cases.

    The actual reason for it being called 'French Fries' is because 'To French' is a verb. 'Frenched' is the past form of that verb. Since 'Frenched Fries' was little hard to pronounce it was just pronounced as 'French Fries'.
