Hostess Limited Edition Orange Creme Pop Twinkies

I once dreamt of Orange Creme Pop Twinkies, although they were Orange Creamsicle Twinkies in my dream. Also, I hope these aren’t like the Halloween Twinkies with orange-flavored S’cream filling. (Spotted by @TheJoshCatlett at Walmart.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: KFC Cheetos Sandwich

KFC Cheetos Sandwich News

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

Chester Cheetah is the new Colonel Sanders. Of all the other folks who have gone through the revolving door of being Colonel Sanders, I think Chester is the only one I’ll remember ten years from now. The reason why Chester has donned the Colonel’s white suit and facial hair is because KFC has rolled out the Cheetos Sandwich.

It features KFC’s Extra Crispy chicken filet, a layer of Crunchy Cheetos, mayo, and a special Cheetos sauce on a toasted bun. It’s available for a very limited time at participating locations.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

REVIEW: Starbucks Iced Cocoa Cloud Macchiato

/ / Reviews / 1 Comment

Starbucks Iced Cocoa Cloud Macchiato

What is the Starbucks Iced Cocoa Cloud Macchiato?

The newest of Starbucks’ cloud beverages (the “cloud” comes from the foam layer on top of the macchiato that contains egg whites for fluffiness), the Iced Cocoa Cloud Macchiato has espresso, milk and toffee nut syrup. It’s completed with both caramel and a mocha drizzle on top.

How is it?

I liked this drink, but I wouldn’t say I loved it. I’m a fan of the regular macchiatos, but I think the cloud foam on this one threw me off a bit. The amount of foam was pretty significant (I’d say more than the cold foam drinks, which I do really enjoy), so it made sipping it a challenge to balance the foam and the coffee portion. Slow and steady sips won the race. I thought the egg white powder would be weird, but I couldn’t taste it at all.

What I did like was the marrying of the cocoa and caramel flavors. Coupled with the toffee nut syrup, there was a nice nutty flavor with a hint of chocolate. The coffee portion was my ideal coffee color – not too light and not too dark. I also enjoyed that it was not overly sweet, and was very light. It would make a good afternoon pick-me-up.

Is there anything else you need to know?

Much like the standard Starbucks macchiatos, be sure to let the foam layer and the espresso layer blend naturally in with the milk. I’m pretty sure mixing it is considered a coffee sin.

Conclusion:

I’ll order this again because I enjoyed the taste, but it won’t become a regular order. If you’re in need of something cool and refreshing on a hot summer day, definitely give it a go.
