Inspired by the way customers kept ordering ice cream and fries and combining them into a single sweet and savory treat, Burger King Singapore decided to create a menu item, Mashed Up Fries, devoted to the creation. The ice cream sundae topped with fries is created by layering French fries at the bottom of a cup, then stacking them with ice cream and finishing it off with chocolate, maple syrup and more fries on top.
The cup provides a mashup of flavors and textures and it offers a quicker way for consumers to enjoy the taste of fries and ice cream together. Burger King Singapore describes the concoction as "eccentric and delicious" and the customers who are in the habit of dunking fries into their desserts are sure to agree.
