# Crinkle Cut Fry Songs Arby's is Promoting Its New Crinkle Cut Fries with a Song from Ving Rhames By Riley von Niessen | Published 2021-03-31 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crinkle-cut-fries References: [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZTk0Pf9vDE) & [arbys](https://www.arbys.com/) Earlier this year [Arby's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavored-vodka-spirits) launched a catchy sea shanty sung by 'Pulp Fiction' actor Ving Rhames to show how its [fish sandwich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbys-surf-turf-deal) beats out its competitor's, and now, the fast food chain is back with another comical song to promote the permanent addition of [crinkle cut fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shake-shack-cris-crinkle-cut) on its menu. Also recorded by Rhames, the 'Fry Fantasy' jingle takes inspiration from the 1997 hit from Sugar Ray, 'Fly.' The short jingle replaces the original song's "I just wanna fly" line with an Arby's-themed adaptation, changing it to "I want crinkle fries." To get more fans on board with the launch, Arby's has also reduced the price of the side to just $1 for a limited time.
