FAST FOOD NEWS: Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Nuggets Are Back

News Wendy s SpicyNuggets

Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Nuggets are back and all it took to make that happen was getting two million Twitter users to like one tweet.

Not familiar with Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Nuggets? They’re made using all white-meat chicken and are seasoned with three different kinds of peppers and savory spices. You can order them in 4-, 6-, and 10-piece sizes.

A six-piece order has 280 calories, 18 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 720 milligrams of sodium, 13 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 0 grams of sugar, and 15 grams of protein.

But, sadly, despite all that effort from two million Twitter users, Wendy’s isn’t bringing its Spicy Chicken Nuggets back permanently. It’s around for a limited time.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Sonic Extra-Long Philly Cheesesteak

News  Sonic Extra Long Philly Cheesesteak

I don’t know what the differences are between Sonic’s new Extra-Long Philly Cheesesteak and the Footlong Philly Cheesesteak the chain rolled out last year. Both have grilled steak, onions, cheese sauce, and, for some reason, mayo in a footlong hot dog bun.

The only differences appear to be the name and price. The Extra-Long Philly Cheesesteak starts at $4.29, while last year the Footlong Philly Cheesesteak started at $3.99.

The cheesesteak in a hot dog bun has 670 calories, 41 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 55 milligrams of cholesterol, 1540 milligrams of sodium, 51 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 8 grams of sugar, and 25 grams of protein.

Oh, and if extra long is too long for you, there’s also a 6-inch version.
