Dunkin’ Donuts is testing milkshakes.

Impulsive Buy reader Joshua took this photo of Dunkin’ Donuts’ BlenDDed Shake samples at a location in Davie, Florida. As you can see in the picture, the whipped cream and sprinkles-topped treat is available in strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla.

It’s a bit weird to see Dunkin’ Donuts do shakes because its sister company is Baskin-Robbins, which does milkshakes. It like if the companies under Yum Brands umbrella decided offer menu items that they don’t specialize in. For example, Pizza Hut coming out with tacos like Taco Bell, or KFC offering pizza.

Wendy’s is advertising a new $4 10-piece chicken nuggets, small fries, and small drink combo. Along with this limited time only deal, the fast food chain is also introducing a new Creamy Sriracha Sauce that customers can dunk their nuggets into.

Welcome to the sriracha party, Wendy’s!

Dunkin’ Donuts has a new addition this year to their lineup of pumpkin-flavored products — the Pumpkin Cheesecake Square Donut. They’ve also teamed up with Hershey’s to create another new donut — the Reese’s Peanut Butter Square.

The Pumpkin Cheesecake one is filled with pumpkin cheesecake filling and topped with orange icing, graham cracker crumbles, and a white icing drizzle. The Reese’s Square has a Reese’s peanut butter-flavored buttercreme and is topped with chocolate icing and an orange icing drizzle to match the colors of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.

Both donuts will be available for a limited time at participating locations.

It appears Burger King will soon be offering a Chips Ahoy S’mores Shake. Impulsive Buy reader Rene took the pictures above at a Burger King location in Visalia, California. According to Rene, the shake has Chips Ahoy cookie pieces blended into the soft serve, and as you can see in the photo they are also added as a topping. Also, either the soft serve or whipped topping (or maybe both) is marshmallow-flavored.
