What are Satisfries? Satisfries are made with a special batter that absorbs less oil, causing them to have 20% fewer calories than regular Burger King fries. A small serving of Satisfries contains 270 calories and 11 grams of fat, while the conventional version has 340 calories and 15 grams of fat.

Ultimately, Satisfries failed to capture the market and in 2014 they were discontinued, around a year after they were launched.

SATISFRIESTM are currently available at BURGER KING® restaurants across the United States alongside BURGER KING® classic French fries. The crinkle-cut French fries can be found in value (SRP $1.29), small (SRP $1.89), medium (SRP $2.09) and large (SRP $2.29) sizes.

Satisfries were doomed from the start for a simple reason -- it's a bad idea to reinvent a classic. Whereas salads, wraps, and fresh fruit complement regular fast-food items on the menu, Burger King tried to reinvent french fries, an iconic side dish of American fast food.

Burger King claimed that Satisfries were healthier than regular fries, because they used a less porous type of batter that prevented more oil from being absorbed during frying. Unfortunately, Burger King failed to clearly promote that difference at its restaurants. The calories also didn't seem to measure up.
