Concerns recently surfaced among Chick-fil-A enthusiasts regarding the fate of their beloved waffle-cut fries, sparked by a viral TikTok video. The video, featuring a Chick-fil-A employee seemingly eating non-waffle-cut fries, led to speculation that the chain might be phasing out its iconic side dish.
However, Chick-fil-A has swiftly reassured its customers that there are no plans to replace waffle-cut fries with any other variety. In the video, Briana, dressed in Chick-fil-A attire, humorously suggested that waffle fries were no longer available, prompting a flurry of concerned comments from viewers.
“I had Chick-fil-A today and I got the waffle fries,” reassured one commenter, echoing the sentiments of many who expressed disbelief at the rumored change.
Fortunately, Briana later clarified in a follow-up video that her initial claim about Chick-fil-A discontinuing waffle fries was not serious. This clarification, along with Chick-fil-A’s confirmation on its website that waffle fries remain the sole fry offering, brought relief to fans.
Commenters on the subsequent video expressed their relief and joy at the retention of waffle fries on the menu.
“THANK YOU I WAS SO SCARED I LOVE MY WAFFLES FRIES,” exclaimed one relieved user.
The incident serves as a reminder of the impact of social media on consumer perception, even when based on misunderstandings or playful content. Chick-fil-A fans can now rest assured that their favorite waffle-cut fries are not going anywhere.
