FAST FOOD NEWS: Arby’s Fish ‘N Cheddar Sandwich and White Cheddar Mac ‘N Cheese

/ / Fast Food News / 6 Comments

News Arbys Fish N Cheddar

It’s that time of year again when many fast food chains roll out their fish sandwiches. Usually, they bring back the same old stuff. Arby’s does too, but it also gets creative with its fishy offerings. For 2019, it was the Cajun Fish Sandwich. In 2018, it was the Nashville Hot Fish Sandwich.

This time Arby’s has dug deep into the shallow well of ideas and thought so far out of the box that it ended up in another box to bring us its Fish ‘N Cheddar Sandwich.

It features a crispy fish fillet with cheddar cheese sauce, tartar sauce, and iceberg lettuce on a sesame seed bun. The sandwich has 540 calories, 22 grams of fat, 3.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 40 milligrams of cholesterol, 1030 milligrams of sodium, 65 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, and 20 grams of protein.

News Arbys White Cheddar Mac N Cheese

If you’re looking for something a bit more cheesy (or something to add to the Fish ‘N Cheddar Sandwich to make it a lot more interesting), Arby’s also has a new White Cheddar Mac ‘N Cheese. An order has 510 calories, 29 grams of fat, 17 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 80 milligrams of cholesterol, 1120 milligrams of sodium, 44 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 13 grams of sugar, and 20 grams of protein.

Both cheesy menu items are available for a limited time. If you’ve tried either one, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

REVIEW: Planters White Cheddar Cheez Balls

/ / Reviews / 4 Comments

Planters White Cheddar Cheez Balls

What are Planters White Cheddar Cheez Balls?

After being brought back from the snack graveyard in 2018, the least appetizingly named food since Dave’s Hot and Juicy, Planters Cheez Balls, now come in White Cheddar!

How are they?

That exclamation point is about as much excitement as you’re gonna get from this review because these stink, exclamation point.

I remember liking Planters Cheez Balls as a kid, but I guess it was just faux nostalgia, or “fauxstalgia” as no one says.

The white cheddar flavor pales in comparison to basically every other white cheddar flavored snack on the market. I’m not kidding. It’s weak, and the flavor dust seems to melt away almost instantly.

If the flavor is bad, I gotta say, the texture is worse. These fall somewhere between slightly stale Cheetos and Cap’n Crunch cereal. I thought I would still inhale ’em despite all this, but I barely ate a quarter of the canister.

I might string the rest up like little snowballs and hang em on the tree, but I’m not sure I wanna smell the odd scent they emit.

Is there anything else you need to know?

Every time I ate more than a couple at a time, I got an almost fishy finishing taste. There’s nothing good going on here.

I picked up the original flavor too, and the aforementioned no one was right – it was fauxstalgia. They stink slightly less than white cheddar.

Now I’m terrified Planters might reboot my favorite childhood snack, PB Crisps. I consider them the GOAT, and I don’t think I can handle them not living up to that standard.

With that said, I still need them back in my life, so make it happen Planters.

Conclusion:

There are so many better cheese snacks to buy over these. There are also so many better Planters products to buy over these. Don’t let the marketing fool you. These aren’t Crystal Pepsi. These aren’t Ecto Cooler. Your memory has deceived you. Don’t even bother.

Since this review was a little on the scathing side, I’d like to end with a joke.

Why does Mr. Peanut walk with a cane?

Because he has Planter Fasciitis!

Alright, that joke was cheesier than the actual cheez balls.
