Is Chick-Fil-A getting rid of its waffle fries?

Contrary to social media rumors, Chick-Fil-A is not getting rid of its waffle fries .

How did the Chick-Fil-A waffle fries rumor start?

The original social media post that appears to have spawned the waffle fry fraud was shared on TikTok by user @bri.daniela1 .

In the video, viewed more than 3 million times before being deleted, the poster claimed to be a Chick-fil-A employee with the skinny on the chain's supposed plans to "take away" their waffle fries.

The TikToker @bri.daniela1 quickly followed up the clip with another clarifying that she had not expected the original video to get 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 fry fire, posting a video viewed 1 million times saying, "So it's true Chick Fil A stop (sic) selling waffle fries."
