NEWS: MiO Fit Liquid Water Enhancer, It’s Got Electrolytes

When I think of sports drinks, Gatorade is the first one that pops in my head. Although, when I’m super dehydrated after an eight-mile run, I think of any liquid I can get my hands on, but most of the time it’s Gatorade.

Besides Gatorade, there’s Powerade and…I can’t come up with names of any others. But now I can add Kraft’s MiO Fit Liquid Water Enhancer to the short list of sports drinks in my head. MiO Fit’s got what plants crave. It’s got electrolytes. It also has B vitamins.

MiO Fit will be available in 1.08-ounce bottles in two flavors: Berry Blast and Arctic Grape. Each bottle will make 18 eight-ounce servings. MiO announced the new flavors on their Facebook and Twitter pages.

Dunkin’ Donuts has a new Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich, but it’s available only to those who live in New England or in the Mid-Atlantic United States.

The new breakfast sandwich consists of a fried egg sprinkled with pepper, a turkey sausage patty, and a slice of reduced fat cheddar cheese on a toasted English Muffin.

NEWS: Burger King Replaces Their Chicken Tenders with Chicken Nuggets and Offers New Limited-Time-Only Menu

IMG_0798

Last year, Burger King introduced their chicken nuggets-looking Chicken Tenders, which replaced their crown-shaped chicken nuggets. To start the new year, Burger King has replaced their Chicken Tenders with their new Chicken Nuggets, which look similar to their Chicken Tenders.

I’m so confused.

BK’s new Chicken Nuggets have white meat chicken on the inside and a crispy tempura-style batter on the outside. It’s available in four-, six-, 10-, or 20-pieces, and comes with your choice of six sauces — Honey Mustard, Ranch, Sweet and Sour, Buffalo, Barbecue or Zesty.

Along with new chicken nuggets, Burger King is also offering four new limited-time-only menu items, one limited-time-only product back by popular demand, and one limited-time-only sandwich that sounds like something Burger King has introduced before.

Avocado Swiss Whopper – A fire-grilled beef, topped with naturally smoked thick-cut bacon, Swiss cheese, a creamy avocado spread, freshly cut lettuce, ripe tomatoes and a zesty avocado aioli, all on a toasted sesame seed bun.

Philly Original Chicken Sandwich – A BK classic Original Chicken Sandwich topped with red and green bell peppers, seasoned grilled onions and two types of melted cheese, all served on a toasted sesame bun.

Molten Fudge Bites – Features a fudge-brownie outside and molten chocolate filling on the inside. Served hot and dusted with powdered sugar.

Molten Fudge Sundae – Vanilla Soft Serve combined with Molten Fudge Bites. Topped with chocolate fudge and a buttery caramel swirl.

Cheesy Tots – Back by popular demand. Tots with a crispy outside, and potatoes and American cheese on the inside. Available in eight-piece, 10-piece or 12-piece servings.

Italian Original Chicken Sandwich – A lightly breaded chicken fillet topped with mozzarella cheese, and sweet and tangy marinara sauce, all served on a toasted sesame seed bun. Yes, it does sound similar to this sandwich that was offered by a little company called Burger King.

All items are available now at participating Burger King restaurants. If you’ve tried any of them, let us know what you think of them in the comments below.

SPOTTED ON SHELVES – 1/2/2013

Here are some interesting new and limited edition products found on store shelves by us and your fellow readers.

Kellogg's Cinnamon Jacks

The Kellogg’s Cinnamon Jacks box may say it’s sweetened with brown sugar and cinnamon, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it just had a brown sugar flavor. Apple Jacks doesn’t taste like apples, so there’s a good chance Cinnamon Jacks won’t taste like cinnamon. (Spotted by Michael at Walmart.)

Breyer's Blasts Birthday Blast

Celebrate your birthday with a birthday cake and ice cream that tastes like birthday cake. On Second Scoop has a Breyer’s Blasts! Birthday Blast review. (Spotted by Adam at Walmart.)

Limited Edition Special K Chocolatey Strawberry

Kellogg’s Special K Chocolatey Strawberry is a limited edition cereal. But once it disappears you can get your Special K Chocolatey Strawberry fix by combining Special K Red Berries and Special K Chocolatey Delight cereals. (Spotted by Jarred at QFC.)

New Cereals

It’s raining new General Mills cereals! Actually, it’s raining new and possibly reformulated General Mills cereals! Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch and Fiber One Chocolate are new, but General Mills introduced a Peanut Butter Toast Crunch in 2004. (Spotted by Heidi at Walmart.)

Skittles Darkside

Taste the upside down rainbow of Skittles Darkside which is made up of Midnight Lime, Forbidden Fruit, Pomegranate, Blood Orange, and Dark Berry. (Spotted by Kevin at Walgreens.)
