FAST FOOD NEWS – White Castle Sriracha Chicken Slider

Marvo

White Castle Sriracha Chicken Slider

I believe I know what some you are thinking, “A White Castle Sriracha Chicken Slider topped with sriracha sauce. That sounds awesome!” However, it’s not what some of you think. White Castle’s new Sriracha Chicken Slider and Ultimate Sriracha Chicken Slider doesn’t have sriracha sauce, instead the spicy sauce’s flavor and heat come from chicken’s breading.

Now all of you might be thinking, “Well, what’s that orangy sauce then?” That, my friends, is a zesty chipotle mayo. White Castle’s Ultimate Sriracha Chicken Slider also includes spicy jalapeño cheese and crunchy jalapeño crisps.

The Sriracha Chicken Slider has 400 calories, 30 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 730 milligrams of sodium, and 9 grams of protein. The Ultimate Sriracha Chicken Slider has 460 calories, 36 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 920 milligrams of sodium, and 11 grams of protein. Both are available for a limited time.

Heinz Tomaten Oliven Sauce Heinz Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

Thanks to Google Translate I learned Heinz Curry Mango Sauce can be used for grilled turkey and steaks, Heinz Sweet & Fruity Exotic Sauce is sweet and fruity thanks to pineapple chunks and is used for white meat and rice dishes, Heinz Tomaten Oliven Sauce is a tomato and spicy olive sauce for meat and Mediterranean dishes, and Heinz Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce is not called Heinz Sonne Getrockneten Tomaten Sauce in Germany. (Thanks for the photos Paul!)

Crystal Farms French Toast Batter

I could buy Crystal Farms’ French Toast Batter to make French toast. Or I could buy Crystal Farms Scrambled Eggs to make French toast AND scrambled eggs. (Spotted by Jamie at Walmart.)

Morningstar Farms Breakfast Sandwiches

Morningstar Farms breakfast sandwiches I can enjoy in the morning. Thank goodness they didn’t make a sandwich with their awful fakon. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

Patriotic Vanilla Creme Peeps

YoCrunch Cereal Bowl with Kellogg's Froot Loops

This makes me wonder if Kellogg’s Rice Krispies can snap, crackle, and pop in low fat vanilla yogurt. (Spotted by Ayumi at Walmart.)

(Update: Click here to read our review.)

Whoa. Company collaboration with alliteration. Perhaps Pizza Hut Pretzelmaker Personal Pan Pretzel Pizzas are next? Say that question five times really fast.

These soft pretzel nuggets have cheddar innards, are served warm, and baked in house. There’s no info about them on the Arby’s website, but according to TIB reader James, they’re offered in five or 20 pieces. The five-piece offering is $1.99. They appear to be testing the item in the Midwest, but if you’ve seen them elsewhere, let us know in the comments. Here’s a promotional poster from the Central Wisconsin Arby’s Facebook page. (Thanks to James for the photos!)
