If these Go Bites also had 15 grams of fiber to go along with the 5 grams of protein and 7 grams of whole grains, I would’ve called them Go Bathrooms. (Spotted by Nick at Walmart.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: Popeyes Ghost Pepper Wings

Popeyes Ghost Pepper Wings

Heat your mouth while the rest of your body freezes this winter with Popeyes new Ghost Pepper Wings. The ghost pepper, otherwise known as the bhut jolokia, was once the hottest pepper in the world. But now it’s the third hottest pepper in the world and has made its way into the fast food world.

Popeyes Ghost Pepper Wings aren’t the first ghost pepper product from a major fast food chain. Earlier this year, Jack in the Box came out with a chicken sandwich that used a ghost pepper ranch sauce.

To infuse their wings with ghost pepper flavor, Popeyes marinates them for 12 hours in a blend of peppers that includes the ghost pepper. Then their wingettes and drumettes are battered and breaded in a southern style crispy coating and fried.

Popeyes Ghost Pepper Wings are available now through January 25 at participating locations. You can get six wings with a buttermilk biscuit and buttermilk ranch dipping sauce for $3.99. They are also available as a combo meal or a 12-piece box.

If you’ve attempted to burn your mouth with Popeyes Ghost Pepper Wings, let us know what you think of them in the comments.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Arby’s King’s Hawaiian Fish Deluxe Sandwich and Jalapeño Hushpuppies

Arby s King s Hawaiian Fish Deluxe  Sandwich

On the Arby’s website, their new King’s Hawaiian Fish Deluxe is described as follows:

“Arby’s went the extra mile on the King’s Hawaiian Fish Deluxe. Sweet, fluffy buns from Hawaii and crispy, wild-caught Alaskan Pollock combine to make a fish sandwich that earns the name Deluxe.?”

If you’re super excited about the buns coming from Hawaii, I’m going to have to burst your pineapple, because King’s Hawaiian products aren’t made in Hawaii. Those sweet, fluffy buns come from California. Also, that pineapple I just popped most likely came from either Asia or South America, not Hawaii.

The sandwich also features a crispy wild-caught Alaskan Pollock fillet, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and tartar sauce. It’s available for a limited time.

Arby s Jalapeno Hushpuppies

Arby’s is also offering, for a limited time, their new Jalapeño Hushpuppies. They have a crispy exterior and soft interior with diced jalapeño peppers.

The King’s Hawaiian Fish Deluxe has 790 calories, 36 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 125 milligrams of cholesterol, 1140 milligrams of sodium, 89 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 24 grams of sugar, and 28 grams of protein. A serving of five Jalapeño Hushpuppies have 290 calories, 12 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 4 milligrams of cholesterol, 790 milligrams of sodium, 42 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 11 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.

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