Here are five recent fast food news bites:

I thought Pizza Hut’s Crazy Cheesy Crust Pizza wasn’t very crazy and I feel the same about this Pizza Hut pizza in Puerto Rico. (via Brand Eating)

WHAT?! Jack in the Box’s new Jalapeño BBQ Burger is not available in California, Idaho, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah? I guess I’m going to have to get some spicy trans fat somewhere else. (via Business Wire)

Popeyes Spicy Cajun Wings are back! And I’m going to eat them when the Popeyes down the street opens, which was supposed to happen in September. The opening got pushed back to November, but here we are in December and it still doesn’t look like it’s ready to open. (via Grub Grade)

Missed opportunity, Checkers! Your Fry-Seasoned Monsterella Stix would’ve been an appropriately named product in October. (via Grub Grade)

Every Monday this month is #MondayBunday at Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s. If you buy one original Six Dollar Thickburger from Carl’s Jr. or a 1/3 lb. Original Thickburger from Hardee’s on a Fresh Baked Bun, you can get a second one for free! The coupons are available only on Mondays from the Carl’s Jr. the Hardee’s websites.

Tostitos Fajita Scoops!

These Tostitos Fajita Scoops are made using red peppers, green peppers, jalapeño peppers, and soy sauce. Yes, the popular condiment found on every table at every Mexican restaurant, soy sauce. By the way, does anyone else make tiny taco salads with Tostitos Scoops? (Spotted by Steve at Jewel.)

Progresso Bread Crumb Mixers

“Mix Up Your Dinner Routine!” Well, if I really wanted to mix up my dinner routine, it would probably be something that doesn’t comes from a sealed bag. Yes, I eat a lot of dinners from sealed bags. (Spotted by Charmi at Don Quijote.)

Goldfish Games

Well, this looks like it could end up being unsanitary. Also, there are already games one can play with Goldfish crackers, like How Many Goldfish Crackers Can I Stuff Into My Mouth? (Spotted by Sylvia at Vons.)

Classico Limited Edition Seasonal Selections Bolognese Meat Sauce

Welcome back, Limited Edition Classico Seasonal Selections Creamy Spinach & Parmesan! It looks like you brought a friend with a slightly shorter name. Welcome, Limited Edition Classico Seasonal Selections Bolognese! (Spotted by Kim at Walmart.)

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – Pringles Tortillas

Pringles Tortillas

Pringles Tortillas come in three flavors: Original, Nacho Cheese, and Southwestern Ranch. However, Walmart also has an exclusive flavor — Zesty Salsa. So if regular Pringles are made with potato flakes, then are these made with corn flakes? (Spotted by Kim at Walmart.)

Great Value Sweet Cinnamon Tortilla Chips

With all the cinnamon stuff that comes out this time of year, I’m not sure if these Great Value Sweet Cinnamon Churro Tortilla Chips are a seasonal item or a regular item. (Spotted by J at Walmart.)

Market Pantry Salted Caramel Cream Cheese Spread

Salted caramel cream cheese doesn’t sound extremely appetizing. Well, at least, it’s not something gross like, I dunno, cranberry orange cream cheese. (Spotted by Eilonwy at Target.)

Lucerne Limited Edition Cranberry Orange Cream Cheese

(Spotted by Marvo at Safeway.)

Limited Time Only Nut Harvest Butter Toffee Dark Chocolate Almonds and Amaretto Milk Chocolate Almonds

Nut Harvest could’ve settled for normal chocolate covered almonds, but they said, “Nay! Thou nuts need be more!” (Spotted by Jamie at Walmart.)

Blue Bunny Seasonal Selections Perfectly Peppermint and Spumoni

Spumoni is a seasonal thing for fall or winter? If so, maybe they should move National Spumoni Day out of August. (Spotted by Jamie at Walmart.)
