Burger King has two new shakes — the Dr Pepper Shake and the Oreo Irish Mint Shake.

The Dr Pepper Shake, the most interesting of the two in my opinion, is a hand spun creamy treat with the flavor of Dr Pepper. A small Dr Pepper Shake has 330 calories, 10 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 250 milligrams of sodium, 51 grams of carbohydrates, 44 grams of sugar, and 8 grams of protein.

The Oreo Irish Mint Shake is a new take on the Classic Oreo Shake at Burger King. It’s a smooth minty hand spun shake with Oreo cookie crumbles. A small Oreo Irish Mint Shake has 430 calories, 13 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 310 milligrams of sodium, 72 grams of carbohydrates, 60 grams of sugar, and 9 grams of protein.

Burger King has a new limited time only spicy variety of Chicken Fries — Jalapeño. It follows last year’s new spicy varieties — Fiery and Buffalo.

BK’s Jalapeño Chicken Fries are made with white meat chicken that’s coated in a jalapeño seasoned breading and then cooked until crispy. Like all varieties of Chicken Fries, it comes with your choice of sauce — Ranch, BBQ, Honey Mustard, Zesty, Sweet & Sour, and Chicken Fries Sauce.

A serving of nine has 300 calories, 18 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 950 milligrams of sodium, 19 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of sugar, and 15 grams of protein.

Pizza Hut has put a lot of R&D effort into making sure you eat their end crusts. They’ve stuffed it with cheese, stuffed it with bacon and cheese, stuffed it with multiple cheeses, and stuffed it with hot dogs.

The pizza chain’s latest effort is the Stuffed Garlic Knots Pizza, which features 16 hand-rolled cheese-stuffed garlic knots on the crust of a large pizza. It’s available with one topping and two dipping cups of marinara sauce for $12.99.

To be honest, it sounds a lot like their Cheesy Bites Pizza, but maybe with more garlic.

The Stuffed Garlic Knots Pizza is available for a limited time.

Impulsive Buy reader Geren sent in this photo from a Shell gas station in Southern California. After doing some Googling it appears it’s been around since December and ICEE did a survey in August to find out if there’s any interest in a Sugar Cookie ICEE. I guess there was a lot of interest.

I know the Jerry Seinfeld in you is going, “What the deal with the pickles?” Did the Vlasic stork accidentally drop some on the chicken? Is there a pickle surplus in the U.S.?

No and no, my friends. That’s how they’re supposed to be. Don’t believe me? Read this.

The chicken gets its spiciness from a blend of cayenne and smoked paprika. Along with the bone-in Nashville Hot Chicken, KFC is also offering boneless Nashville Hot Chicken Tenders, which are available as a three-piece meal with cole slaw and a biscuit.
