A dwindling stock of potatoes has put fast-food chains in a pickle.
Burger King, which operates over 150 restaurants in Japan, found a way around the shortage. Until new supplies finally arrive, customers are being asked to swap out fries for something Japan has no shortage of: ramen noodles. CBS News
Burger King calls it the"almost-potato set," which includes a burger and a side of crunchy ramen noodles. The noodles are are nice and salty, but aren't the same. "I'd be sad without fries," one person said."I always get fries with my burger." Burger King said its unusual offerings have earned it devoted fans, adding that many have given up fries as a show of loyalty.
Burger King isn't the only fast-food chain grappling with spud shortfalls. Last winter, rival McDonald's was forced to ration fries and potato nuggets for nearly a month.
