Why Choose? Burger King’s ‘Have-sies’ Merges Fries and Onion Rings
Ever been caught in the culinary crossfire of choosing between onion rings and fries? Burger King’s latest menu addition, ‘Have-sies’, promises to end that age-old fast-food dilemma.
Burger King’s Innovative Solution
Burger King, recognized as one of the select few fast-food chains to offer onion rings, is no stranger to the internal debate customers face when pairing sides with their burgers. With ‘Have-sies’, a clever nod to their “Have It Your Way” slogan, the brand has successfully merged two favorites: Classic Fries and Onion Rings. This delightful combo side will grace Burger King outlets from October 12.
Origin & Rollout
Before embracing its quirky ‘Have-sies’ name, this side dish began its journey as “Fries n’ Rings”. Its introduction in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida saw an overwhelming positive reception. Riding on this success, ‘Have-sies’ is graduating from a trial run to a permanent fixture on Burger King menus nationwide.
Pair it Your Way
Whether you fancy it as a stand-alone treat available in a range of sizes from value to large, or as an accompaniment to your chosen combo meal, ‘Have-sies’ is versatile. Pat O’Toole, Chief Marketing Officer of Burger King North America, emphasized the brand’s dedication to customer choice, stating, “While our flame-grilled Whopper sandwich often takes center stage, side options are vital too. We recognized our customers’ love for our unique onion rings but also the undying allure of the classic French fry. Offering both in true BK fashion felt right.”
So, next time you’re in Burger King, remember that you don’t have to choose. With ‘Have-sies’, every bite can offer the best of both worlds, elevating your fast-food dining experience.
