Fans can rejoice! Burger King's beloved Chicken Fries are back due to popular demand. The French fry-shaped chicken nuggets debuted back in 2005, and even though they amassed a cult following, the fries were discontinued in 2012. Burger King announced the return of the Chicken Fries on Twitter, one post using the exclamatory hashtag #ChickenFriesAreBack and a cartoon image of Chicken Fries being held to the sky by many fans. The caption reads, "Life. Liberty. Chicken Fries."

Burger King has been teasing out the comeback of the popular menu item, and today it's making its official return. According to Business Insider, Chicken Fries will be in restaurants nationwide for a limited time.

Burger King decided to bring back the Chicken Fries after fans created petitions on Facebook and Twitter demanding the return of the Chicken Fry. "Demand for this product is so fanatical that we asked ourselves: Who are we to get in the way of our guests having Chicken Fries?" Eric Hirschhorn, Burger King's chief marketing officer for North America, explained to USA Today. Fans say that the unique shape of the Chicken Fry allows for better dipping than the typical chicken nugget.

This is not the first fast food item to make a reappearance. Wendy's recently made their Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger a permanent fixture on the menu because it had become a fan favorite. Burger King has found success by returning to their more traditional menu items and even boosted sales. The fast food chain brought back the Big King to the delight of fans.

So, will you be grabbing yourself an order of Chicken Fries? One carton costs $2.89.

US House panel finds Matt Gaetz paid for sex and drugs, obstructed Congress
Former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz paid tens of thousands of dollars to women for drugs and sex that were violations of a series of House rules and included obstruction of Congress, the U.S. House of Representatives' Ethics Committee said in a report released on Monday. Among the committee findings were that Gaetz paid $90,000 to 12 women, a substantial portion of which the panel found was likely for either sexual activity or drug use. Gaetz, who has denied wrongdoing, resigned from the House of Representatives last month after he was selected by President-elect Donald Trump to be attorney general.

Greek lawyers call for further investigation into 2023 deadly shipwreck
Greek lawyers representing the survivors and victims of a deadly 2023 shipwreck said on Monday a naval court needed to examine more evidence after a preliminary investigation failed to shed light on the case. Hundreds died on June 14, 2023, when an overcrowded fishing trawler, monitored by the Greek coastguard for several hours, capsized and sank in international waters off the southwestern Greek coastal town of Pylos. A local naval court, which opened a criminal investigation last year, has concluded a preliminary investigation and referred the case to a chief prosecutor, the lawyers said on Monday, adding they had reviewed the evidence examined by the court so far.

Stocks up slightly with bond yields up; economy, rates in focus
NEW YORK/LONDON (Reuters) -MSCI's global equity index was up slightly on Monday and U.S. Treasury yields climbed with the dollar after data released at the start of a short trading week showed deterioration in U.S. consumer confidence mixed with a rise in capital goods orders. The Conference Board said its U.S. consumer confidence index unexpectedly weakened in December to 104.7 versus economist expectations for an increase to 113.3 and November's upwardly revised 112.8 on concerns about future business conditions. New orders for key U.S.-manufactured capital goods rose in November amid strong demand for machinery but orders for durable goods, items ranging from toasters to aircraft, dropped 1.1% after increasing 0.8% in October, with declines mostly reflecting weakness in commercial aircraft orders.
