When KFC announced they were testing fries dusted with their 11 herbs and spices, fans overwhelmingly rejoiced, but now, they're learning that the special menu addition has come with a cost, and that cost is the end of potato wedges.
KFC confirmed to multiple outlets, including Thrillist, that Secret Recipes Fries are rolling out to locations across the country and that they'll be replacing the longstanding menu item that is potato wedges.
"We can confirm that KFC's Secret Recipe Fries (tested last year) are rolling out nationally to replace wedges," a rep for KFC told the site: "While we know there are wedge-lovers out there who may be disappointed, consumer response to our Secret Recipe Fries during the test and the rollout has been overwhelmingly positive."
Potato wedges have already lost their spot on the KFC site, though it doesn't seem like the fries have made it on there quite yet. If you're wondering how people are feeling about this change, well, one look at a recent Instagram post for KFC shows that, yes, wedge-lovers are a thing and they are none too pleased to see their fave being discontinued.
"Bring the wedges back," one person wrote. "HOW DARE YOU GET RID OF WEDGES," another said.
Guys, I know change can be hard, but change can also be really good! Between this change and the fact that KFC is testing a "premium" chicken sandwich in Florida, I think we're looking at seeing an even BETTER menu at KFC really soon, which is something we can all celebrate! I think? I dunno!
