QUICK REVIEW: Burger King Oreo Cookie Peppermint Shake

Burger King Oreo Cookie Peppermint Shake

What is the Burger King Oreo Cookie Peppermint Shake?

Burger King’s December shake features peppermint syrup and Oreo cookie bits. Apparently, it’s supposed to have a whipped topping on it as well, but I got cheated.

How is it?

In 2016, BK introduced the Oreo Irish Mint Shake, then dropped “Irish” from the name in 2017. It’s been nearly two years since I had that it, but as far as I can tell, this new version is the same as that one, just with a pink color instead of green.

The shake is pretty thick for a nationwide fast-food chain (as opposed to local mom-and-pop shake shacks), and I had a hard time sucking it through the straw. I had to use my straw more like a spoon.

It’s satisfyingly minty. However, at this time of year, there are lots of minty shakes that are so potent, they taste like you just ate a pure candy cane. I love mint, so I like that feeling. This one isn’t quite that powerful, but it’s still nice.

The Oreo pieces are tiny enough to go through a straw, and they dissolve quickly in your mouth, so there’s no need to do much crunching. I can’t detect any of the creme, but the chocolate cookies work well with the mint.

Is there anything else you need to know?

It’s probably obvious, but a milkshake isn’t what you want to drink on a cold December night. I parked a block away from Burger King, and I shivered a lot more in the 17-degree weather on the way back to my car than I did on my way into the restaurant.

Conclusion:

The Burger King Oreo Peppermint Shake isn’t anything innovative, but it’s a festive, tasty treat if you’re looking for a way to get even colder.

Jack in the Box Pannidos

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

Jack in the Box’s Pannidos are back!

You don’t remember the Pannidos? Well, you’re not alone because I don’t remember them either. But, here’s a brief history lesson, thanks to Google and Jack in the Box, who don’t delete web assets from its website.

The original version was introduced on February 23, 2004 and there were three varieties served with foot-long, toasted ciabatta baguettes — Zesty Turkey, Ham and Turkey, and the Deli Trio.

In 2018, there are only two — Turkey, Bacon & Cheddar and the Deli Trio.

The Turkey, Bacon & Cheddar comes with smoked turkey, bacon, cheddar cheese, and a creamy Italian sauce on toasted ciabatta bread. Its nutrition facts aren’t up on the website at time of publication. But we’ll update this post when it does.

The Deli Trio features smoked turkey, ham, salami, dill pickle slices, and a creamy Italian sauce on toasted ciabatta bread. It has 580 calories, 30 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 75 milligrams of cholesterol, 2550 milligrams of sodium, 47 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 6 grams of sugar, and 31 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried them or remember the 2004 version, let us know in the comments.
