The fries come as the brand's first update to its original [French](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-fried-french-fries) fries in more than 10 years and feature a [crispy, golden exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripple-fries) that offers just the right level of crunch and helps to lock in the heat. The fries thus feature a soft, tender interior that works perfectly with the crisp exterior for the perfect textural experience. Sonic Groovy Fries are arriving alongside the Groovy Sauce, which features a creamy ranch flavor with herbs and a touch of sriracha sauce. The sauce comes with every order of Groovy Fries with both making their formal debut starting in May 2024.
