Pretty sure burger king does this on purpose to get fry-eaters to try the onion rings and vice versa.

[–]Storlock 18 points19 points ago

It happens way to frequently to be a coincidence and it's always one, just one. I am convinced it is a marketing ploy.

[–]Phoequinox 7 points8 points ago

Not sure if they still do it, but they used to print on the fry boxes that they did that to symbolize a crown on the fries. Sort of a signature touch.

[–]Storlock 2 points3 points ago

Did not know that but that would be a plausible reason for it.

If I'm eating fast food I certainly am not looking at any packaging, get the calories and go... wait a tic, fast food. ha! This probably only make sense in my head but I'm fine with that.

[–]JTTTdude 6 points7 points ago

I work at BK, trust me, we're just too lazy to take them out.

[–]roger_van_zant 2 points3 points ago

Love you.

[–]piggypudding 1 point2 points ago

Nah, they're just stored next to each other with a shoddy partition separating them.

[–]Infintinity 0 points1 point ago

My sonic chef friend said they do that when there isn't enough fries left in a batch to properly fill the container so they'll put something like that in the bottom so at first glance people will see that they got all the fries they ordered, but actually there's the onion ring and nobody is ever really angry about that.

Tl;dr: Put onion ring at bottom so container looks full when not enough fries available

[–]PraetorianFury 0 points1 point ago

You have very little faith in people to put a tl;dr on that message.

[–]GenerallyAddsNothing 2 points3 points ago

Meh. They're fried in the same baskets sometimes and end up in there. Depends on how lazy the fryer person is.

[–]EASYE420 1 point2 points ago

I worked at BK for about 3 yrs, and just about every time we didn't have enough fries for a whole order we throw some rings in the bottom to make it appear as a full carton. What makes it worse is the onion rings are usually soggy since they are supposed to be cooked to order, so what doesn't fit just sits until someone orders more . Then those get thrown out for they new batch. (or just tossed on top)

[–]PraetorianFury 106 points107 points ago

Maybe you should just order onion rings.

[–]1AMTHEWALRUS 42 points43 points ago

That's not as fun.

[–]Rubix22 15 points16 points ago

But I like the taters...

[–]JTTTdude 21 points22 points ago

What's taters, precious?

[–]agrassman 16 points17 points ago

PO-TA-TOES boil 'em mash 'em stick 'em in a stew

[–]Themlizards 7 points8 points ago

We would all order onion rings if we remembered the damn things even existed.

[–]Hrbiie 1 point2 points ago

Your comment is relevant to my life experiences. Therefore, upvote.

[–]Lextrix 2 points3 points ago

Yeah dummy

[–]beumf 0 points1 point ago

Whenever I get a ring in my fries i wonder this.

[–]Azr79 0 points1 point ago

...for fuck's sake do THIS, and cut the shit.

[–]kryonik 0 points1 point ago

Every time I see a similar post, I think the same thing. If onion rings are such an amazing find, why not just order them? They cost the same 99/100 times.

[–]Cayou 10 points11 points ago

Because if you ordered them, they wouldn't be an amazing find.

Oh, wow, look at what I found in my order of onion rings! An onion ring! My day is made!

[–]kryonik 2 points3 points ago

You mean: boy these onion rings are great! I'm so happy I ordered them!

[–]Cayou 2 points3 points ago

Good luck getting karma on reddit with that ;-)

[–]username_collector 2 points3 points ago

There should always be a few complimentary onion rings. One just isn't enough, any more than three is too much.

[–]djsjjd 0 points1 point ago

That would be perfect. Since the fries stand upright in the box, they could use them to "ring-toss" a few onion rings on top.

[–]Tangent_Odyssey 0 points1 point ago

It may just be where I live, but onion rings are generally more expensive than fries here 9 times out of 10.

Edit: South Carolina, to be precise

[–]do7com -3 points-2 points ago

THATS WHAT I CAME HERE TO SAY FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[–]guia7ri 12 points13 points ago

One ring to rule them all

[–]disimcity 2 points3 points ago

I'm sorry, this is too relevant. You'll have to take it down.

[–]MrWaffle09 11 points12 points ago

As someone who doesn't like onion rings, I cannot relate.

[–]CyricTheMadd -1 points0 points ago

Same here, it actually pisses me off. One time I went Burger King and half the container was onion rings. I was 20 miles from the BK so I couldn't just get new one. I ended up just throwing away the whole container.

[–]5kToSelfDestruction 6 points7 points ago

Who drives 20 miles to eat their fast food?

[–]karl-marks 2 points3 points ago

Can we get an honest or made up response to this? The lack of closure is killing me.

[–]ilikemustard 2 points3 points ago

In case you haven't seen it, he replied!

[–]karl-marks 1 point2 points ago

Thank you sir.

[–]Dem0n5 0 points1 point ago

People who like cold fries. Or cold onion rings.

[–]ocm1234 0 points1 point ago

This story is obviously fake. I mean who doesn't eat their fries while they drive?

[–]CyricTheMadd 1 point2 points ago

I was on my way home from work. I live 20 miles away from where I work, and there is a BK across the street.

[–]Reoh 2 points3 points ago

That's because you didn't see what they did to it first.

Complete opposite reaction when I get a fry in my order of onion rings.

[–]NotABeckSong 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was only a Harvey's thing...

[–]I_Pee_Sitting_Up 0 points1 point ago

Finding fries in my onion rings is not nearly as enjoyable. It's usually the 1" burnt crisps.

[–]Xbox_junky 0 points1 point ago

Lol this made my day

[–]beardandteeth 0 points1 point ago

Keep it secret, keep it safe.

[–]whynotzoidberg26 0 points1 point ago

the fry in the onion rings,however, is a turd on your sheets.

[–]citizencooke 0 points1 point ago

Agreed.

[–]ldr5 0 points1 point ago

[–]Heyheypeeps 0 points1 point ago

I work at burger king, and i sometimes intentionally put one in just for the lucky soul who ordered plain fries.

[–]hijackedstapler 0 points1 point ago

I don't even LIKE onion rings and it's still this exciting.

[–]amezbro 0 points1 point ago

So no one else has seen Clerks 2?

[–]time4anewsn 0 points1 point ago

Burger king is notorious for that.

[–]781862 0 points1 point ago

It's funner to get surprised.

(haha, funner)

[–]PhoneyBone 1 point2 points ago

The moment that happens when you're eating somewhere that doesn't serve onion rings will haunt you. Once ate what I thought was an onion ring from Wendy's still wonder what it actually was.

[–]muskratpeters 0 points1 point ago

You mean whenever you eat Burger King?

[–]imaninfraction 0 points1 point ago

Ewwwww I would burn my fries if I found an onion ring. I hate all forms of onions. D=

[–]TehLittleOne 0 points1 point ago

As someone who makes your fries and onion rings, I would be concerned if my fries had onion rings in them, since the onion rings come packaged separately.

[–]JasonMaggini 0 points1 point ago

Most of you are too young to remember the glorious days when Jack-in-The-Box served Frings.

[–]givealittlelove 0 points1 point ago

Precious!

[–]JMCrown 0 points1 point ago

I just scared my cat off the bed because I busted out laughing at this!

[–]bevans052 0 points1 point ago

I work as a cook in a small local burger joint. Sometimes after making an order of onion rings, if I have a couple onion rings left over I like to throw in the extra onion ring as a little surprise. It's no accident, I just give the people what I know they want.

[–]Luke_Attamadik 0 points1 point ago

There can be only one

[–]combzy89 1 point2 points ago

To rule them.

[–]JakeGonzoph 0 points1 point ago

Whenever I find original content anywhere near the front page

[–]Naxza -1 points0 points ago

As the guy that usually bags your fries in the back-line, I enjoy slipping the occasional loose curd or onion ring into your fry bags so that you might sample those. No idea how company policy stands on this, but everyone loves surprise samples.

Just don't do the same when you get fries in your onion rings or cheese curds; those are probably undercooked.

[–]Darklink445 0 points1 point ago

What if they dont sell onion ring, like Wendy's.

[–]plusminusequals 0 points1 point ago

This post made me lose my shit.

[–]Hrbiie 0 points1 point ago

Runza.

As far as I know, you can't get it outside of Nebraska, but they offer 'frings' as an option for a side. Its the only fast food restaurant that I know of to do so, and it is simply fucking amazing.

**'frings' = French fry/ Onion ring combo of awesome.

[–]HairySascrotch 0 points1 point ago

Then I realize they don't serve onion rings...

[–]seanbearpig 0 points1 point ago

Then you fall in a pit of lava?

Good old cross contamination!

This is the only time I eat onion rings. Fuck onion rings. Well, not really, they are alright.

[–]robotizer -2 points-1 points ago

Smeagol!!! I got a good laugh outta this one, I always eat that damn thing too!
