Are Chick-fil-A’s Waffle fries getting replaced?
After the TikTok video claiming that Chick-fil-A is bidding farewell to its popular waffle fries which hit 3 million on the social media platform, the user posted another video where he stated he had no idea it would go so viral. He said that the video and the news about fries were false in a second video, however, both the videos were deleted later.
The rumours of the fries being replaced sparked when a popular food blogging page about food updates and news on Instagram posted a picture of straight-cut fries with the text, “ "NEW!! Chick-fil-A french fries" and the caption, "Do you want to see these go nationwide? I kind of like the idea of having another fry option besides their waffle-cut fries,” as reported by USA Today.
The post angered french fries lovers as people expressed their anger on special media asking the food chain to not mess with the “perfection,” and demanding the old waffle fries.
After the uproar, the food blogging page edited the caption of the aforementioned post apologising for the misunderstanding. He wrote, “These are available now at the Little Blue Menu location. Apologies for putting “NEW”. At the time of making and posting I was under the impression that they were new— as I hadn’t seen them on the menu before. Big thanks to @littlebluemenu for clearing that up.”
