Medium or large?
On delivery menus the three main sides — fries, onion rings and Have-sies — come in medium and large. The upgrade is cheap: you pay $0.55 more for 70 extra calories of fries, or $0.55 for 140 extra calories of onion rings. For a side you share, the large is the better deal.
Burger King sides by size

|---|---|---|---|---|
| French Fries (medium) | $4.59 | $5.14 | $0.55 | 370 / 440 |
| Onion Rings (medium) | $4.59 | $5.14 | $0.55 | 290 / 430 |

Fries vs onion rings
Onion rings are the signature side at Burger King, and a medium portion is lighter than medium fries: 290 calories against 370. The rings are breaded, so they contain wheat; the fries list none of the major allergens in Burger King's information. Have-sies solves the choice by putting half of each side in one carton. Price, sizes and city prices for the rings: Burger King onion rings.
Snack sides: Mozzarella Fries, bites and tots
Mozzarella Fries are breaded sticks of mozzarella cheese — 8 pieces cost $5.29, a 4 piece $2.69. Jalapeño Cheddar Bites and Cheesy Bacon Tots sell in 4 piece portions for under $3, which makes them the cheapest way to add a hot side to an order. Applesauce is the only cold side.
