You couldn’t see me, but moments ago I was standing up and applauding Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s new Baby Back Rib Burger. Just when I think they’re running out of ideas, the sister fast food chains drop this onto our laps and splash barbecue sauce everywhere.

The Baby Back Rib Burger features real, boneless, baby back ribs from Bubba’s-Q Boneless Ribs that are charbroiled and dipped in Cattleman’s Original BBQ Sauce. The burger also comes with a charbroiled beef patty, crispy onion strings, and pickles on a premium, brioche-style bun.

The burger is available for a limited time at participating locations nationwide on April 26.

For a limited time, Whataburger is offering a coffee shake. It’s made with instant coffee, and yes, it does have caffeine, but there’s no information about how much. It’s available in 16-, 20-, and 32-ounce sizes.

A 16-ounce Coffee Shake has 420 calories, 80 calories from fat, 9 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 410 milligrams of sodium, 75 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 71 grams of sugar, and 7 grams of protein.

Last spring, a new Starbucks drink craze swept the nation. Or should I say PINK craze?

The Pink Drink began as an off-the-menu beverage customization, but it’s now on the year-round beverage menu. It’s made by using coconutmilk instead of water in a Strawberry Acai Starbucks Refreshers and is topped with a scoop of strawberries. 

A 16-ounce serving has 140 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 60 milligrams of cholesterol, 0 milligrams of sodium, 1 gram of carbohydrates, 24 grams of fiber, 20 grams of sugar, 1 gram of protein, and 50 milligrams of caffeine.

I’m sure the 24 grams of fiber is an error, but for posterity, I’m going to leave this screenshot here:

Update: We reviewed the chicken sandwich! Click here to read our review.

While most fast food chains stick with tried and true cheeses, like cheddar or American, Wendy’s has used asiago, blue cheese, Gouda, and now fresh mozzarella, which the chain is using in its new Fresh Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich and Salad.

The sandwich features a grilled chicken filet topped with fresh mozzarella cheese, balsamic diced tomatoes, spring mix, and creamy basil pesto on a toasted garlic brioche bun.

The salad is made up of a salad blend topped with fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced grilled chicken, grape tomatoes, garlic croutons, and creamy basil pesto. It’s available in full and half portions.

Wendy’s Fresh Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich and Salad are available for a limited time at participating locations.

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