A Burger King PR stunt is doing the trick Wednesday -- there's a lot of social media buzz about the fast food giant's supposed name change to "Fries King."

Burger King's website shows a redone company logo. An abstract, upright pouch of french fries replaces the familiar, stylized hamburger, and the words "Fries King" appear over the logo in place of "Burger King." It's all rendered in the same style, colors and roughly same dimensions as the "old" logo.

Below the logo comes this attention-getter: "Formerly Burger King."

There appear to be new frozen crinkle cut type fries.

they made fries with 30% less fat and calories. they made them crinkle cut because they didnt want their workers accidentally selling customers the normal fries.

theyre likely also 30% less filling

Too bad Burger King's fries have been garbage since the 90s, easily the worst of the big 3.

Its not even that it is so hard to make fries, just hard to make them cheap and good!

Has anyone tried BK's pulled pork? Very tasty but kind of small. 2-5 bucks right now.

When I think of good brats and pulled pork, I immediately think of BK.

Had the new fries, & they were pretty good.

Just found out last week they opened a BK downtown, 18 W. Jackson. They've got those new Coke Freestyle dispensers that are pretty cool.
