In-N-Out is expanding its range of merchandise with a brand-new summer essential, the Fry Boat Pool Float, that reminds us of its classic fry packaging. The six-foot-long pool float is topped with writing like "Fresh Potatoes" and details about how the potatoes are peeled and diced, then cooked in 100% sunflower oil. Just like the packaging that's shared at the chain, the pool float also includes a Bible verse.
While pool floats become popular year after year with the arrival of the warm weather, this summer promises to be an especially hot one for pool floats, as people will be finding themselves spending more time enjoying home backyards and local beaches versus traveling over the summer months.
