Burger King Is Bringing Back Funnel Cake Fries
Be sure to swing by your local Burger King to satisfy your sweet tooth. The fast-food chain is doling out something sweet, sugary and delicious to pair with its classic Whopper: funnel cake fries.
Yes, you read that correctly. For a limited time only, Burger King will be selling fried, dough-y dessert in the form of fries. So, not only can you eat funnel cake like you’re a kid at a state fair, but you can do so in a way that’s more convenient than ever before — because everyone knows food is easier to eat when it’s shaped like a french fry.
If Burger King’s funnel cake fries are giving you déjà vu, that’s because the fast-food restaurant first debuted the fries back in 2010, according to a tweet from Burger King:
some things from 2010 are worth revisiting—like your old tweets. and funnel cake fries. get them now for a limited time.
