This delicious Chick-fil-A product is back on the menu after 13 years
Chick-fil-A is bringing back its popular seasonal items and some brand new items!
Don’t worry, Chick-fil-A fans, the fast-food restaurant isn’t giving up its signature waffle fries anytime soon.
And instead of stopping production of its popular waffle fries, Chick-Fil-A will instead offer a new variety of fries and other products as part of its side project Little Blue Menu.
Here’s everything you need to know about Chick-Fil-A’s response to the rumor circulating on social media and how to access the Little Blue Menu.
Is Chick-Fil-A getting rid of its waffle fries?
Contrary to rumors on social media, Chick-Fil-A will not discontinue its waffle fries.
Chick-fil-A officially dispelled the rumors in a statement to USA TODAY, saying, “Chick-fil-A guests have no need to worry – our beloved waffle fries are here to stay!”
How did the rumor about Chick-Fil-A waffle fries start?
The original social media post that apparently sparked the waffle fryer scam was shared on TikTok by user @bri.daniela1.
In the video, which was viewed more than three million times before being deleted, the poster’s author claimed to be a Chick-fil-A employee and revealed the chain’s alleged plans to “take away” their waffle fries.
TikToker @bri.daniela1 quickly followed up the clip with another, clarifying that she didn’t expect the original video to attract so much attention and saying that the “news” she shared was not true. The second video was later deleted as well.
Another TikToker, @imjusmike, added fuel to the French fry fire, posting a 1 million-viewed video saying, “So it’s true, Chick Fil A stopped selling waffle fries.”
As anyone who has ever spent a few hours on the Internet knows, rumors often spread faster than the truth, as was the case with the waffle fries fiasco.
Chick-Fil-A’s Little Blue menu is only available in Maryland
You have to be in Maryland if you want to try Chick-Fil-A’s Little Blue Menu.
Little Blue Menu is a single-location virtual kitchen inspired by the original restaurant opened by the chain’s founder, S. Truett Cathy.
Little Blue Menu also responded to a post about the fries on its Instagram page, under which some commenters expressed similar concerns.
“Don’t worry – Chick-fil-A Waffle Fries are here to stay! These fries are only available at Little Blue Menu in College Park, MD,” the comment read. “That’s the great thing about our Little Blue Menu restaurant – guests can enjoy Chick-fil-A classics alongside our Little Blue Menu exclusives like French fries, Sweet Potato Tots and onion rings!”
