A popular restaurant in Maine is dealing with furious and hostile customers after they replaced their crinkle-cut french fries with thinner, straight-cut fries. Apparently, one man even threatened to fight one of the owners over the change.

Leslie and Jim Parsons are the owners of Bolley's Famous Franks, a popular restaurant in Waterville, Maine. Their restaurant has been in the news for causing the fry ~controversy~ among their loyal fans.

The couple said they were forced to make the cosmetic change from crinkle to straight-cut french fries for business reasons.

"The blades are ridiculously pricey and flimsy. It takes many blades to operate the cutter and after sinking thousands, yes thousands, I chose to go with an alternative cut," Leslie explained in a post on their restaurant's Facebook page.

The type of potato the fries are cut from has remained the same.
