Here are five recent fast food news bites:

Pizza Hut is rolling out a new crust. My goodness. Pizza Hut has done so many things to pizza crust that aliens with probes must say, “Whoa! That’s a bit too much.” (via Grub Grade)

Pizza Hut is also selling pizza by the slice at select locations. Perhaps they’re practicing in order to take over food courts if Sbarro closes. (via Consumerist)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Listen up everybody if you wanna take a chance. Just get on the floor and do the New Kids’ dance. Don’t worry ’bout nothing ’cause it won’t take long. We’re gonna put you in a trance with a funky song, ’cause you gotta be hangin’ tough, hangin’ tough, hangin’ tough. We’re rough. (via Brand Eating)

Until January 19th, order your Domino’s pizzas online and get a 50 percent discount. I guess New Year’s Resolutions can wait until January 20th. (via Grub Grade)

I wonder what McDonald’s Coffee Chocolate Cake taste like. (via Brand Eating)

QUICK REVIEW: Burger King Rodeo Burger

/ / Reviews / 8 Comments

Burger King Rodeo Burger

Purchased Price: $1.59*
Size: N/A
Purchased at: Burger King
Rating: 9 out of 10
Pros: Awesome value for $1 (Decent value for $1.59). Love the sweet and spicy barbecue sauce, which there was just the right amount of. Size of onion rings ensure there’s a bit of it in every bite. Onion rings and barbecue sauce complement the beef patty well. Even though they were sitting in its wrapper for about 10 minutes, the onion rings were still a little crispy. 450 milligrams of sodium is surprisingly low for a fast food burger.
Cons: Having to pay $1.59 for a sandwich that’s being advertised at $1. It’s not at all filling. Beef patty was noticeably smaller than the toasted sesame seed bun. I really should say “Where’s the Beef?” but I think many of you are too young to know the reference.

*Because I live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, things are a bit pricier here. Most of you will pay just $1 for it.

Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers. If you’ve tried any of the products, share your thoughts about them in the comments.

Snyder's of Hanover Pretzel Spoonz

Snyder's of Hanover Korn Krunchers

“Spoonz”? “Korn Krunchers”? Well, all right then, let’s see how you like having your name purposely misspelled, Snider’s of Hanouver. (Spotted by Kenzi at Publix.)

Panera Bread K-Cups

It appears Panera is trying to make a whole different kind of fresh bread with their Panera coffee K-Cup. The varieties in the picture include Light Roast, Dark Roast, Hazelnut Creme, and Colombia. (Spotted by Joshua at Winn Dixie.)

Chobani Greek Yogurt Simply 100

These Chobani Greek Yogurt Simply 100 have just 100 calories per container, is made using only natural ingredients, come in the six flavors (Blueberry, Strawberry, Pineapple, Peach, Black Cherry, and Vanilla), and pretty much looks like every other container in the yogurt aisle. (Spotted by Lindsay at Family Fare.)

Kashi Crunchy Granola & Seed Bars

If Kashi made a variety of their Crunchy Granola & Seed Bars with hemp seeds, I would go to every store, cross out the word “Seed” on every box, and replace it with “Weed.” (Spotted by RiRi at Piggly Wiggly.)

Kellogg's Eggo French Toast Bites Cinnamon

Microwaveable pouches of bite-sized French toast. I think I will leggo of those Eggo. (Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – Chex Chips

Chex Chips

Chex Chips come in four flavors: Caramelized Onion, Cheddar Jalapeño, Wasabi, and Cinnamon & Brown Sugar. I’d like to crush the wasabi one and sprinkle it over a sushi roll. I’d also like to pour the Cinnamon & Brown Sugar one into a bowl and tell everyone it’s mutated Cinnamon Chex Cereal and they should run for their lives. (Spotted by Shelby at 7-Eleven.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – Dreyer’s Limited Edition Bakery Treats Slow Churned Ice Cream

/ / Spotted on Shelves / 4 Comments

Dreyer's Limited Edition Bakery Treats Slow Churned Ice Cream

During these winter months, Dreyer’s Bakery Treats hit the spot because they’re piping cold straight out of the freezer. Combine that with sipping on a frozen hot chocolate in front of an air conditioner and you’ve got a winter memory that you’ll never forget because it’ll be frozen in your mind, along with the rest of your body. (Spotted by Carla at Walmart and Safeway.)
