FAST FOOD NEWS: McDonald’s Guava & Crème Pie

McDonald's Guava & Cre?me Pie

Impulsive Buy reader Kevin E sent us this photo taken at a McDonald’s drive-thru in South Miami, Florida. After searching Twitter to look for references of the new Guava & Crème Pie, it appears to be an exclusive flavor for the Florida market. It’s built similar to their Strawberries & Crème Pie and other fruit and crème pies we’ve seen before from McDonald’s. It has a guava filling and vanilla flavored crème in a sugar-coated crust.

If you’ve tried it or seen it in a state other than Florida, let us know in the comments.

That’s nice, Pillsbury. But besides making them gluten-free, how about making them baking-free? That would also be helpful. (Spotted by Erin K at Walmart.)

When I bite into a Pearson’s Mint Patties Minis, I get the sensation of biting into something that’s not a York Peppermint Patty. (Spotted by Carla at Walmart.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: Papa John’s Pepperoni Rolls

Papa John s Pepperoni Rolls

Papa John’s Pepperoni Rolls aren’t new, if you live in the Dominican Republic, Peru, or Azerbaijan. But in the United States the side is new.

An order has six rolls and each is made using fresh dough that’s filled with pepperoni, three cheeses (fontina, asiago, and provolone), and ranch sauce. It also comes with your choice of dipping sauce.

Papa John’s Pepperoni Rolls are available for a limited time for $5.

One Pepperoni Roll has 390 calories, 31 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 75 milligrams of cholesterol, 1110 milligrams of sodium, 13 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, and 14 grams of protein.

Oh, if you’re thinking those numbers above look somewhat like the nutrition facts for a slice of pizza, you’d be correct, Mr. or Ms. I Have The Memory of An Elephant When It Comes to Nutrition Facts. A large Papa John’s pepperoni pizza slice has 320 calories, 13 grams of fat, 30 milligrams of cholesterol, 810 milligrams of sodium, 36 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, and 12 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
