Chick-fil-A Made A Huge Mistake

Top comment is gay

His disappointment is immeasurable and his day is ruined

Dropping this on a Sunday is diabolical. Basically a diss itself

“Improved” means they found a way to cut cost. Which generally means we get lower quality and/or quantity.It’s not for our benefit. It’s for their bottom line.

Chick-fil-A got that “I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed” mom talk

At Five Guys, they soak the fries in cold water before cooking to specifically remove the starch, so they don’t end up soggy. This is the opposite of progress.

I worked there during the change. They coat the fries in a ton of starch. The starch creates a crispy barrier on the outside of the fries that help prevent them from getting soggy. No soggy fries means you can hold them longer before throwing them out. The problem is that the fryer oil doesn't cook INTO the fry and give it flavor because the starch acts as a barrier. The potato on the inside just tastes like it was "heated up" and not fried. Also, the fries tend to stick together. To combat this, the company required us to stop using a fry basket press, which caused the topmost fries to be uncooked since they want to float in the oil.

Went through the five stages of grief in the first bite

4:41 it’s even worse, they did it right after the owner died, it was his promise and his morals, but corpo didn’t give af, he dead.

I work as a lead at a Chick-fil-a store. This change was announced a couple months ago and they have started sending out the new product, but it hasn't reached most stores yet. My store doesn't have it yet and I knew about it since early October last year. I'm sure if you go to your local Chick-fil-a and ask, they will be more than happy to confirm if they have the new fries or not. But that might be why you haven't noticed a difference yet, because they aren't at all locations yet. Probably will be by mid 2025
