“Introducing Chick Fries! The same Chicken Fries you love, now available in a pink box so we can charge chicks more for them!’
David Miami has helped Burger King to make a stand against the “pink tax”, with a YouTube video that shows reactions to its Chick Fries – the same fries that are served to men, except they come in a pink box and cost US$3.09 instead of US$1.69.
“Burger King restaurants welcome everyone, and we see pink tax as extremely unfair,” noted Christopher Finazzo, president of Burger King North America, in a statement about the stunt.
“We created this experiment with fan-favourite Chicken Fries to demonstrate the effect of pink tax and how everyone should pay the same for the same products—whether it’s pink or not.”
And rightly so.

The Chick Fries were introduced into select stores in Miami, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago while supplies last. When the agency isn’t filming, they fries in pink boxes are being sold for the same price as Burger King’s regular fries.
