Update: We reviewed it! Click here to read our review.

Several weeks ago, Burger King combined their soft serve with Kellogg’s Froot Loops Cereal to create the Froot Loops Shake. Now the burger chain has a new shake featuring a popular General Mills cereal.

The Lucky Charms Shake is a combination of marshmallow cereal flavored syrup, Lucky Charms topping, and vanilla soft serve with a whipped topping. It’s available for a limited time at participating restaurants.

The dessert has 740 calories, 17 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 580 milligrams of sodium, 129 grams of carbohydrates, 107 grams of sugar, and 17 grams of protein.

UNSCIENTIFIC POLL: Best Panda Express Entree That’s Not Orange Chicken

/ / Unscientific Poll / 18 Comments

If this was “Best Panda Express Entree,” I’m 100 percent sure Orange Chicken would win in a landslide. Heck, I’d vote for it. Since it’s the obvious winner, I thought why don’t we find out the second most popular entree from Panda Express.

So readers of The Impulsive Buy, select your favorite Panda Express Entree that’s not Orange Chicken in the poll below. Don’t see your favorite that’s not Orange Chicken? You can also write-in a seasonal favorite or discontinued entree in the “Other” field at the bottom.

The poll will close on Friday, June 23 at 11:59 p.m. HST.

Update: Beijing Beef was added to the poll. It’s on the Panda Express website, but I missed it when adding entrees to the list. I apologize to all the Beijing Beef lovers out there. Most of the votes for Beijing Beef are listed under “Other” but will give a final tally soon after the poll closes.
