BRING BACK CHICK-FIL-A SWEET POTATO WAFFLE FRIES

The Issue

In 2011, Chick-Fil-A discontinued their short-lived sweet potato fries from the menu.

William F. "Woody" Faulk, the Chick-Fil-A president of brand strategy and design added the famous fries to their menu because "sweet potato fries have been one of the most popular requests we have received from customers, so we are pleased to offer this new and exciting product."

Yet now, those craving the sweet, savory, and crispness of the freshly fried sweet potatoes must endure the struggle of knowing that the unique flavor of Chick-Fil-A's sweet potato waffles may never be experienced... EVER... AGAIN.

What an atrocity. What an outrage. We will continue to fight until our demands are met.

For a medium serving of these sweet potato fries, one will consume 220 calories, 10 grams of fat, 31 grams of carbohydrates, 115 milligrams of sodium, and 8 grams of sugar. Furthermore the fries provide 20% of your daily serving of dietary fiber, essential in maintaining the digestive systems, along with 20% of your daily serving of Vitamin C, and a whooping 210% of your daily serving of Vitamin A.

On the contrary, the medium serving of regular potato fries sets you back 360 calories, 18 grams of fat, 43 grams of carbohydrates, and 280 milligrams of Sodium. Not to mention, with the addition of the restaurant's various sauces (which are admittedly delicious), the regular fries become further detrimental to your health.

The normal fries provide little benefit in vitamins and other necessary nutrients, lacking in flavor, boldness, healthiness, and sexyness of their superior sweet potato counterparts. 

The demand for sweet potato fries is at its highest. With a subreddit dedicated just for sweet potato fries on r/ChickFilA, as well as the existence of numerous petitions in the past, surely the people should get what they want as loyal customers to this wonderous establishment.

If needed, we will take this all the way to the Supreme Court. Clearly, the right to consume sweet potato fries is protected under the Declaration of Independence of 1776, under the clause, stating that all people are created equal and have unalienable rights, such as "the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness".

Happiness cannot be pursued without sweet potato fries. Perhaps the 28th amendment of the United States should be, "The right to eat sweet potato fries." It would be the shortest amendment, ever. It's that simple.

Reinemund, Steven A. Robinson, and Timothy Tassopoulos. Our only wish is to have our beloved sweet sweet sweet potato fries back on the menu. 

Our voices matter.

It is up to us to stand up and raise our fists.

The time to change is NOW.
