Burger King has revealed their latest addition to the menu, the "Have-sies" side combination. Offering a delightful blend of fries and onion rings, the versatile side can be paired with a combo meal or ordered separately in various sizes.
The new offering is available in the U.S. starting October 12. According to Yahoo, it can be enjoyed in-store, at the drive-thru, or through the convenience of the BK app.
The Allure of Burger King's Onion Rings
Loyal fans have long cherished Burger King's onion rings, and a recent Mashed poll confirmed their popularity. Out of the contenders, including White Castle, Culver's, Carl's Jr/Hardee's, and Jack in the Box, one in three participants preferred Burger King's onion rings. It is clear that the introduction of the "Have-sies" side combination will bring joy to many.
Burger King fans on Reddit couldn't contain their excitement when news of the "Have-sies" side combination spread. Many praised the concept as brilliant, though some pondered why it had taken so long to become part of the official menu.
With its popularity, Burger King can enjoy the advertising benefits without investing any additional resources.
A Familiar Idea
While Burger King may be the first major chain to offer the "Have-sies" side combination officially, it is worth noting that Dairy Queen has also embraced a similar concept. Their Chicken & Fry-Rings Basket includes chicken strips, Texas toast, and a combination of fries and onion rings.
Blending favorite sides is a trend that others in the fast-food industry are beginning to recognize. Interestingly, those in the know have discovered that the "Have-sies" side combination has been available for years, albeit unofficially.
Customers could order a combination of half French fries and half onion rings by asking for "Frings" or simply requesting both sides. Burger King enthusiasts have long appreciated this hidden gem.
Good Business Sense
Adding the "Have-sies" side combination to the official menu reflects savvy business acumen. Burger King and other fast-food establishments understand the importance of catering to customer preferences and bringing innovative offerings to the table.
"We know Guests love our onion rings that they can't get anywhere else, but it's hard to give up on the classic French fry – so we're excited to offer both in true BK fashion," Comicbook quoted Burger King chief marketer Pat O'Toole.
