FAST FOOD NEWS: Burger King Farmhouse King

Burger King Farmhouse King

Update: We reviewed it! Click here to read our review.

Burger King’s new Farmhouse King combines proteins from a cow, pig, and chicken.

Sadly, the chicken is represented by a fried egg and not a chicken patty. The other two farm animals come in form of two Whopper-sized beef patties and thick-cut smoked bacon. The Farmhouse King is topped with two American cheese slices, crispy onions, ketchup, and BK’s “signature sauce” on a toasted sesame seed bun.

The farm-y sandwich has currently an empty space where the calories should be on the website, 80 grams of fat, 28 grams of saturated fat, 3 grams of trans fat, 337 milligrams of cholesterol, 2050 milligrams of sodium, 62 grams of carbohydrates, 15 grams of sugar, and 63 grams of protein.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Auntie Anne’s Sriracha Pretzel and Pretzel Nuggets

Auntie Annes Sriracha

Earlier this year, Auntie Anne’s ran their Pretzel Nation Creation promotion that asked fans to suggest new pretzel flavors.

Some of the finalists were sriracha, s’mores, Korean BBQ, dill pickle, maple brown sugar, and, I kid you not, pink lemonade. Pretzel lovers had the opportunity to vote for the new Auntie Anne’s flavor and sriracha won in a landslide.

And 3,578 of the 1.3 million votes were for pink lemonade.

The winning flavor is now available for a limited time only at locations nationwide, while supplies last.
