Burger King launches 2 types of new fries (although… can you still call this fries?)

Burger King Fries

If I’m being completely honest, I think McDonald’s fries are unbeatable. Sure, they’re often not quite the right temperature, too salty, too soggy, but that’s simply part of it and they’re addictively delicious. So it makes sense that other fast-food chains want to match them. Burger King is going to try again; it’s launching two new types of fries. Today (until the end of May), a number of locations will launch a new kind of menu featuring the ‘Fries, Your Way’ option. But not fries as you know them.

Burger King isn’t taking the concept of ‘fries’ too seriously, because the two new varieties are made from something completely different than potatoes. They already had that in the form of Chicken Fries, but now Churro Fries and Mozarella Fries are being added. What’s the difference between Mozarella Sticks and these Mozarella Fries? I’ll be damned if I know. Churros also seem to always come in this shape, but perhaps they’re a little shorter now.
The Mozarella Sti— umm, Fries are served with marinara sauce, and you can choose four, eight or twelve pieces. Do you see any connection between these menu items and fries? No? Me neither.

But don’t celebrate too soon

We’ll have to wait and see whether these items become a success and are therefore added to the permanent menu, and secondly whether we’ll get them in the Netherlands too. For now, this launch will only take place in America. But don’t worry, because we still have the Cheesy Bacon Fries and Twister Fries—and honestly, that’s enough for me. These ‘fries’ aren’t for me.
