A&W Partners with Ruffles to Present Two Ruffles Crunch Burgers
Debra John — September 16, 2024 — Lifestyle
A&W has announced a new collaboration with Ruffles, introducing two limited-time 'Ruffles Crunch Burgers' to the Canadian market. This partnership combines the distinct flavors of A&W's grass-fed beef burgers with the signature crunch of 'Ruffles Cheddar & Sour Cream' chips, offering a unique dining experience.
The 'Ruffles Crunch Teen Burger' features a "seasoned grass-fed beef patty, topped with a generous portion of Ruffles chips, lettuce, yellow onions, tomato, bacon, real cheddar cheese, and a creamy garlic and jalapeno aioli, all served on a freshly toasted sesame seed bun." The 'Ruffles Crunch Buddy Burger' offers a similar experience with a smaller, "1.6oz beef patty, accompanied by lettuce, tomato, real cheddar cheese, and the same flavorful aioli and Ruffles chips, served on a toasted bun."
This limited-time burger collaboration marks the first time A&W has partnered with a snack brand like Ruffles, delivering a novel twist to its menu offerings.
