Friday the 13th is supposed to be unlucky, but not this time. July 13 is National French Fry Day, and most restaurant chains across the country are celebrating with special discounts or free fries.

It’s not clear how July 13 became National Fry Day, according to National Day Calendar, but based on Google search trends, it appears to have originated in 2011, when people suddenly started searching for “National French Fry Day.”

No matter what the history of the holiday is, one thing is true: it celebrates a side dish Americans cannot get enough of.
