About<\/h2>\n

The Ronnie Coleman French Fries Video<\/strong> or Everybody Thought I Was Eating French Fries<\/strong> is a viral video<\/a> of former bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman explaining, while talking about nutrition, that people would think he was eating French fries, but he’d actually be eating oven-cooked potatoes sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray that he cut to look like French fries.<\/p>\n

The video comes from a September 2024 interview between Coleman and Club Shay Shay<\/em> podcast host Shannon Sharpe<\/a>. The clip was popularized as a meme in October 2026 on sites like TikTok and Instagram<\/a> Reels. The memes<\/a> surround Coleman’s claim that what he made was considerably different than French fries, with many believing that he was still eating French fries.<\/p>\n
