As you could imagine, the vast overbearing reaction to the name change to Fries King has been negative. Here are some of the best Facebook comments and tweets we could find on the subject:

Not looking so good huh? Still, like the old saying goes, there’s no such thing as bad publicity. It’s obviously great for Burger King that everyone is talking about their new fries and raising awareness about them, even if most of it is negative and calling them stupid etc.
As predicted though, it seems like the name change is only a temporary marketing stunt to promote the Satisfries, as Burger King tweeted this earlier today, which would imply that they’re only using this name for a short time. Either that or the fact that the internet hated the idea so much that they’ve been forced to change it back. It’s definitely possible.
