On Landon Howell's endorsement, I finally tried the new Burger King Chicken Fries. This strange invention is really just a long, thin, chicken tender in the shape of a french fry (with some added spices). But since the marketing gurus at BK are intent on passing them off as a new brand of french fries, I decided to test the theory.
I ordered a Whopper Combo and asked if I could substitute Chicken Fries for the regular fries.
"No, I'm sorry. We can't do that," came the reply over the tiny speaker.
"But they are fries, aren't they?"
"Well, yes, but..."
"So why can't I choose what kind of fries I want for my combo."
"You can: small, medium, or large."
"But not Chicken Fries?"
"No."
So, to get the Chicken Fries, I had to order the Chicken Fry "combo" which came with a side of, you guessed it: french fries.
"But the combo IS the Chicken Fries," I said.
"Yeah, we know."
"So I'm ordering a combo of fries with a side of..fries?!"
"No, you are ordering a Chicken Fries combo with...what size would you like your fries again?"
Please Burger King, stop the lunacy. Either make the Chicken Fries interchangeable with regular fries or just bring back the chicken TENDERS combo.
Oh yeah...they were pretty good.
