FAST FOOD NEWS: Pizza Hut Triple Cheese Covered Stuffed Crust Pizza

Pizza Hut Triple Cheese Covered Stuffed Crust Pizza

I’m surprised Pizza Hut didn’t combine their new Triple Cheese Covered Stuffed Crust Pizza with their 3 Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza. They could’ve called it the 6-Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza or Double Triple Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza or something like that.

The Triple Cheese Covered Stuffed Crust Pizza features toasted parmesan, premium cheddar, and aged asiago baked into the crust of Pizza Hut’s regular mozzarella stuffed crust. For a limited time, you can get a large one-topping Triple Cheese Covered Stuffed Crust Pizza for $11.99.

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

Wrigley's Extra Seasonal Edition Strawberry Swirl and Confetti Cake Pop Gum

These flavors seem like they would be better under the Wrigley’s Extra Dessert Delights line. Or maybe they’ve discontinued the Dessert Delights line because Wrigley’s Extra Seasonal Edition Dessert Delights Gum is an extra long name. (Spotted by Rene at Dollar Tree.)

Now that Totino’s has figured out how to add seasoning to the exterior of pizza rolls, how about they start to focus on preventing the innards of their pizza rolls from oozing out while being heated. (Spotted by Keith at Walmart.)

REVIEW: Kellogg’s Raisin Bran with Cranberries Cereal

/ / Reviews / 13 Comments

Kellogg's Raisin Bran with Cranberries Cereal

You probably have a lot of questions about Kellogg’s Raisin Bran with Cranberries Cereal.

Does it come with two scoop of dried cranberries? Or are two scoops of cranberries and two scoops of raisins dumped into each box? Or does it contain one scoop of raisins and one scoop of dried cranberries? Does Mr. Sun on the box realize that his extinction means the extinction of the entire galaxy? Also, if he doesn’t realize it, would he still smile if he did?

I can answer most those questions.

Kellogg’s Raisin Bran with Cranberries Cereal has a scoop of raisins and a scoop of dried cranberries. Also, yes.

I wonder why it’s taken so long for Kellogg’s to combine dried cranberries with their bran flakes. I thought they would’ve done it soon after the word “Craisins” came into our snacking vernacular thanks to Ocean Spray. Actually, I didn’t expect them to end up in a new Raisin Bran variety. I thought they would have their own line called Kellogg’s Cran Bran.

If you love dried cranberries and have Costco-sized bags of Ocean Spray Craisins in every room in your house, including your bathroom and S&M chamber, then this cereal will disappoint. Because, after going through the entire box, I think it smells and tastes like good ol’ regular Raisin Bran.

While eating my first bowl, I thought I might’ve gotten a bad box with nothing but raisins. All the shrived fruit looks the same at arms length in an poorly lit S&M chamber. But a closer inspection with better lighting revealed the reddish dried cranberries, and it looked like there was an equal amount of both fruits. However, the dried cranberries sans milk and bran flakes, didn’t have much flavor or tartness.

So if the cranberries don’t offer any flavor, what do they offer?

I also have an answer for that.

Cranberries are a good source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that regular Kellogg’s Raisin Bran doesn’t have. A serving of Kellogg’s Raisin Bran with Cranberries Cereal has 25 percent of your daily recommended intake. So if you want those damn free radicals to get off your damn lawn, this cereal will help.

Overall, if you enjoy Kellogg’s Raisin Bran, need more vitamin E in your diet, and don’t mind that the bran flakes get soggy quicker than a sponge in the rain, then you’ll enjoy Kellogg’s Raisin Bran with Cranberries.
