A global shortage of potatoes and other transportation problems have caused many chains in Japan to remove the chips or reduce the portions.
At Burger King, they decided to turn to the residents for help and offered a particularly surprising solution, while at McDonald's they reduced the portions.
Would you like noodles next to your burger?
Japan has found an original way to deal with the shortage of potatoes, a shortage that has affected the country's fast food chains in recent months and stemmed from the effects of the corona, as well as flooding a port in Vancouver, Canada.
As a result, the fast food chains in the country are forced to reduce the portions of chips they offer their customers, and at McDonald's, for example, they chose to remove the large portions of chips from the menu, and provided diners with only small portions for a month.
Japanese noodle snack,
Although hot fries can currently be purchased at Japanese chains, no one knows when the current stock of potatoes will run out.
Therefore, the Burger King branch in Japan is well aware of the entanglement of the potato and does not take risks.
Starting next week, Burger King in Japan will offer combo meals that include a burger, a drink and ... hold on tight ... a carb topping that comes in the form of dried ramen noodles.
In Burger King, these meals are called Daitai Potato - "almost a potato" in free translation, and whoever orders one will also receive a gift: a sticker that says "I supported King".
The chips were reduced,
It should be noted that the dried ramen noodles served alongside the main course are a very well-known snack in Japan, called Baby Star Dodekai Ramen.
In other words, it is not serving customers leftovers of ramen noodles that have not found their way into the soup, but rather the opposite: Imagine that in Israel they would offer to replace the chips with a bag of beeswax (made, as is well known, fried pasta), or another crispy snack.
