Update: We reviewed it! Click here to see our review of the milk chocolate one.
There’s also a salted caramel flavor. Kraft should sell an actual Philadelphia cheesecake already. Also, while checking to see if that may have existed before, I learned there were once Philadelphia branded cheesecake snacks. Interesting! (Spotted by Amanda Y at Kroger.)

Goodbye, Burger King Tendergrill Chicken Sandwich!
Although I’m pretty sure I’ve never eaten you, I’m sure you were tender, grilled, had chicken, and were a sandwich. But you’re in a better place now with friends like the YUMBO, Burger Shots, and BK Fire-Grilled Ribs. You were a slightly healthier option than your Tendercrisp brother, who will live on longer than you. But your spirit lives on with Burger King’s new Grilled Chicken Sandwich.
It’s made with white meat chicken marinated and seasoned with pepper and herbs, which you weren’t. It’s topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and mayonnaise on a potato bun.
The sandwich has 470 calories, 19 grams of fat, 3.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 85 milligrams of cholesterol, 850 milligrams of sodium, 39 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of sugar, and 37 grams of protein.
