From HomeGoods’ viral strawberry stool to the “tomato girl summer” trend, food motifs have had an absolute chokehold on interior design over the past few years. And for good reason — it’s just downright fun. Now, fittingly, restaurants are also getting the food decor memo, with Shake Shack launching a new pillow shaped like a french fry … because why not?

In partnership with editor-favorite blanket brand Bearaby, Shake Shack just released the aptly-named Crinkle-Cut Cuddler pillow to commemorate National French Fry Day (yes, that’s a thing, and it’s this coming Friday). Designed to function as a body pillow, it’s a fry-inspired spinoff of Bearaby’s popular ergonomic Cuddler pillow that debuted in 2022. With this new foodie version, though, the crinkly grooves feel all the more cuddle-worthy — whether you’re a side sleeper, pregnant, in need of more joint support, or just love the idea of curling up with a giant french fry. 

For maximum coziness, the Crinkle-Cut Cuddler pillow features a (washable!) yellow velvet cover that adds a cheery pop of color to any bed or sofa. You’ll also get the full fast-food experience when you order one of these via the Bearaby site — it comes in cute takeout-inspired packaging to boot.  

The Crinkle-Cut Cuddler is a bit of a splurge at $149, but if you’ve ever bought anything from Bearaby, you know that the brand prioritizes comfort and function above all else. And even if you’re not a fan of the food-turned-decor trend, the pillow’s zig-zag silhouette is unassuming enough to pass as just a statement wavy decor piece versus an obvious french fry. Either way, the bright yellow accent embodies dopamine decor at its finest, however you use or style it!
