WHITE CASTLE RETAIL CHICKEN RINGS LINE UP NOW INCLUDES RANCH
Newest Craveable Flavor Infusion Introduced on National Ranch Day
MINNEAPOLIS and COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- White Castle Frozen Chicken Rings have expanded their lineup to include a delicious ranch-seasoned ring, now available in the frozen aisle of retailers. This exciting new flavor comes just in time for National Ranch Day on March 10.
The new White Castle Ranch Chicken Rings feature a tangy blend of herbs and spices, developed through an ongoing partnership between White Castle, America's first fast-food hamburger chain and a leader in Sliders, and Bellisio Foods, a subsidiary of CP Foods and one of the nation's largest and most trusted frozen food companies. Originally introduced at retail in 2022, the White Castle Chicken Rings lineup now includes three flavors: Original, Spicy, and the new Ranch.
'We are thrilled to introduce new ranch-flavored chicken rings,' said Lynn Blashford, CMO, White Castle. 'Ranch is a beloved flavor that is consistently ranked high in popularity among consumers, yet surprisingly underrepresented in the frozen chicken category. We believe our ranch-flavored rings will fill this gap and become a Craveable favorite for consumers of all ages.'
All flavors of White Castle Chicken Rings are made with tender, juicy white meat chicken and lightly breaded to perfection in a unique ring shape. White Castle Chicken Rings are packaged in a convenient, resealable bag to satisfy every crave anytime.

'Expanding the chicken ring offerings with a ranch flavor that consumers crave is creating new opportunities for retailers and delivering exactly what our chicken rings fans want. Our ranch-flavored rings tested 25% better in delivering a true-to-ranch flavor than the closest competitor in consumer testing and is the perfect product to celebrate National Ranch Day!'

Shake Shack debuts brand new menu item — but fans have concerns
Shake Shack has officially added fried pickles to its menu — but not all customers are thrilled. The popular burger chain, known for its signature ShackSauce, crinkle-cut fries and hand-spun frozen custard shakes, made the announcement on social media Wednesday. Alongside photos of trays of the fried treats and a Ranch dipping sauce, the caption read: 'Fried pickles just got official side status — catch them next to the crinkle cuts.' While the news was mostly met with excitement from customers, it also raised concern with some fans who worried about how the fried pickles were prepared. 'Oh no! Please tell me you use a separate fryer for these and not the same as with the fries or mushrooms?!' one person commented on X. 'Pickle juice is potent and will ruin the taste of everything else's you put in the same fryer.' Shake Shack's official X account responded, assuring the customer that 'our Fried Pickles are cooked in the same fryer we use for our Chicken items.' Fried pickles just got official side status—catch them next to the crinkle cuts. — SHAKE SHACK (@shakeshack) May 20, 2025 Others voiced their concerns about the side's portion size in relation to the $4.99 price tag. 'WTH I got six tiny pickles in my order!' one complained, while a second said: 'Just got these and they are great. BUT legit 8 fried pickle slices for 5 bucks is a little ridiculous.' A third noted that their 'Denver location was not about selling it even though tho the posters are all up. Fried pickles are only for the promo sandwiches as this one location explained to me while i was pointing at the promo of the basket of them.' 'What gives?' they asked. Shake Shack answered directly, telling the customer: 'Oh no! Please reach out to share@ so we can follow up with you. We'd like to make this right.' But the majority of fans appeared thrilled that their favorite snack had finally been added. 'YES!' one Instagram user exclaimed. 'I got the BBQ burger the other day and literally said to my partner that I wish the pickles were a side of its own.' 'This is the best news I've ever heard,' a second declared. 'Suddenly I know what's for lunch,' a third added. 'Here's to hoping you 'accidentally' drop a few in with an order of fries,' another quipped. This month, the fast food franchise is offering a free burger to all patrons who spend $10 or more. The deal will run from the first of May until the first of June. Read here to find out more about the limited-time offer.

In-N-Out makes rare menu change customers will notice right away
It's not exactly a uniquely American experience to visit your local fast-food joint to pass the time and pick up a meal, but it sure is tradition. Fast-food locales originated in the U.S., around the time when cars began to hit the mainstream in the 1920s. Related: Popular outdoor retailer closing all stores, no bankruptcy It's hard to believe that restaurants like White Castle and McDonald's are around a century old, but these are brands that have diligently adapted to changing times and moods, no matter the economic circumstances. With the advent of the car, for example, many opened drive-thrus, giving people access to fast food on the go. After World War II, many restaurants like KFC, Burger King, and McDonald's expanded rapidly for a growing population by rolling out franchise models. In the 1980s and 1990s, bigger fast-food joints offered more menu items aimed at changing consumer taste; kids' meals, salads, desserts, and breakfasts became more common. And during economic downturns, many fast-food restaurants adapted by offering better value meals. After all, it's hard to beat the value of McDonald's $5 Meal Deal or its Buy One, Add One for $1 deal. Image source: Boddi/Getty Images Changes in customer tastes and habits have helped to shape the world of fast food for decades. Nowadays, most of us prefer to customize our own meals. That's why restaurants like Chipotle and Starbucks offer over 70,000 different combinations across their menus.

But another growing consumer trend - health and ingredient transparency - has been bubbling into the mainstream. And while some fast-food joints have been resistant to embrace it, some are getting with the times. And now, In-N-Out is changing its menu to adapt to new consumer demands. The California-based burger chain famous for its special sauce and Animal Style burgers, announced it will make several major changes to its menu. Related: Huge snack brand launches new drink that should scare Coke, Pepsi Those changes are: Removing artificial coloring: Replacing dyes in strawberry milkshakes and pink lemonade with plant, mineral, or animal-based high fructose corn syrup: Replacing ketchup that contains high fructose corn syrup with Simply Heinz ketchup. The changes are a part of In-N-Out's broader commitment to ingredient quality over lowest-possible prices. In-N-Out rarely makes menu changes; the last major one was in 2023 when it finally brought Cherry Coke into restaurants. "The [founding] Snyder family has always believed that when it comes to the ingredients we serve at In-N-Out, it's not about the cost - it's about the quality," In-N-Out COO Denny Warnick said in a memo posted to Reddit.
