White Castle is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the film “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle” by offering special treats and promotions at its restaurants and in retail freezer aisles starting April 20. The iconic fast-food chain, renowned for being the first to offer 24/7 service, is commemorating the film that highlighted its role as a late-night dining destination.
To mark the occasion, White Castle customers can acquire a digital copy of the film with specific purchases made at their restaurants or through retail buys. These promotions are accompanied by collectible cups available in restaurants and customizable t-shirts purchasable online. The film, released by New Line Cinema and distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, has become a cult classic, capturing the hearts of its initial audience and continuing to attract new fans over the years. Its screenwriters, John Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, along with actors John Cho and Kal Penn, and director Danny Leiner, who passed away, were inducted into the White Castle Cravers Hall of Fame in 2004.
The celebration extends to late-night purchases. Customers buying a Crave Clutch (20 Sliders) between 7 p.m. and 3 a.m. will receive a promotional code for a digital copy of “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.” The offer reflects the chain’s history as a haven for those seeking a meal outside conventional hours, accommodating cravings at any time through its restaurants or delivery services.
White Castle’s dedication to accessibility is underscored by the availability of over two-thirds of its locations around the clock. This commitment ensures that whether customers desire a sit-down meal or prefer to enjoy White Castle’s sliders at home, they can indulge whenever the craving strikes.
