HER OWN TASTE BUDS TO
THE TEST TODAY....SHE
JOINS US NOW LIVE WITH
MORE .....NICOLE, WHAT DID
YOU THINK?
NEAL -- I THOUGHT THEY
WERE PRETTY GOOD!
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE
TRYING TO DODGE THE
CALORIES --- AND THE
GUILT.
YOU CAN'T RESIST THE
CRAVING.
"large fry with a diet coke and
a whopper" BUT YOU KNOW
THE FEELING.... GUILT SETS
IN --- EVEN IF YOU ORDER A
"DIET."
"I think a lot of people are
trying to get healthier, we get
a lot of requests we get a lot
of burgers with no buns, or
they want to know about
gluten free items." BURGER
KING IS TRYING TO
"CATCHUP" TO THE HEALTH
CONSIOUS CONSUMERS.
LAUNCHING A BRAND NEW
"DIET" FRENCH FRY
TUESDAY. AIMED TO SATIFY
YOUR CRAVING. WITHOUT
THE GUILT.
"they have 40% less fat and
they have 30% fewer calories
than the traditional french by
does." BURGER KIG DUBBED
THE NEW CRINKLE CUT
FRIES "SATISFRIES" A SMALL
ORDER CLOCKS IN AT 270
CALORIES. AND CRINKLE'S
COUSIN --- THE REGULAR BK
FRIES --- COMES IN AT 340
CALS. THEY ARE HAVE 30%
FEWER CALORIES THAN A
SMALL FRY AT THE
"GOLDEN-ARCH" ENEMY
COMPETITOR -- MCDONALDS.
"the big question is, do they
taste as good with lower
calories. So I'm about to find
out, I'll try the regular fries
first, now I'll try the
satisfries,
you definatly get a lot more
"fry" for your dollar, and in my
opinion they taste the same!"
BUT IM NOT FRENCH FRY
EXPERT. WE DECIDED TO
SEE WHAT THE CUSTOMERS
THINK OF THE NEW DIET FRY
DEBUT.
"oh yeah, it's like an old
fashion fry you got at home I
mean it's good! And it's less
fattening? Yeah because you
know I could use that!" "it
even tastes better" "these
taste better, more flavor" " I
like the new ones probably
better." THE NEW FRY RECIPE
DOESN'T ABSORB AS MUCH
OIL AS THE BK ORIGINAL
SPUDS. DROPPING THE FAT
AND THE CALORIE COUNT.
"you can still have the good
stuff without the bad stuff to
go with it." # # #
BK IS TESTING THESE NEW
FRIES -- THEY WILL BE
AVAILABLE TOMORROW
ACROSS EAST TEXAS. AND IF
THEY GO OVER WELL THEY
COULD REPLACE THE
REGULAR FRIES. BUT EXPECT
TO PAY A LITTLE MORE.....
THE "SATISFRIES" ARE
ABOUT 20 CENTS MORE
THAN THE REGULAR. LIVE IN
