Sweet and spicy (AKA swicy) continues to permeate the QSR industry as the must-try flavor profile, so brands are continuing to take note with options like the Burger King Sweet & Spicy Bundle. The meal deal is being offered as a digital-only offering available for order both on the BK app and the brand's website, and comes with ample food for just $8. The meal deal thus consists of two BK Crispy Wraps, a four-piece order of Jalapeño Cheddar Bites and a four-piece order of Churro Fries.
The Burger King Sweet & Spicy Bundle offers over $3 in cost savings to strike a cord with consumers who are interested in trying on-trend fare without breaking the bank.
