FAST FOOD NEWS: Dunkin’ All You Can Meat Breakfast Sandwich

/ / Fast Food News

AllYouCanMeat

Dunkin’ is rounding up all of its breakfast meats for its latest menu item — the All You Can Meat Breakfast Sandwich.

It features two strips of bacon, two slices of ham, one sausage patty, egg, and American cheese on an oven-toasted croissant.

To be honest, I like the name more than the sandwich itself. Because Dunkin’ could’ve gone the extra mile for this sandwich. While it’s called the All You Can Meat, I wish Dunkin’ included ALL of its meats, like Arby’s did. Those Waffle Breaded Chicken Tenders on the $2 Dunkin’ Run menu would’ve been a sweet addition.

The sandwich has 800 calories, 56 grams of fat, 21 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 235 milligrams of cholesterol, 1540 milligrams of sodium, 42 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, and 31 grams of protein.

Dunkin’s All You Can Meat is available for a limited time at participating locations.

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

QUICK REVIEW: Monster Pacific Punch Energy Juice

/ / Reviews / 4 Comments

Monster Pacific Punch Energy Juice

What is the Monster Pacific Punch Energy Juice?

It’s a tropical fruit punch-flavored Monster Energy Juice that comes in a can that looks like the textbook margins of that person in the back of the class who’s great at drawing, but not good at paying attention in class.

It has more fruit than a Carmen Miranda hat (Google her). There’s orange juice concentrate, apple juice concentrate, raspberry juice concentrate, guava puree, cherry juice concentrate, pineapple juice concentrate, and passionfruit juice concentrate.

How is it?

I wondered how similar this would taste to Monster’s Pipeline Punch – one of my favorite Monster Energy flavors – because they both are tropical fruit punch. After drinking both, Pacific Punch leans more towards what most taste buds would associate with fruit punch. Think of it as carbonated Hawaiian Punch that’ll punch your heart with 160 milligrams of sweet, sweet caffeine per can.

Monster Pacific Punch Energy Juice 2

Pipeline Punch tastes more “tropical” to me than Pacific Punch, but I enjoy both equally. I don’t know if this is a permanent addition to the Monster Juice lineup, but I hope it is because it’s really tasty.

Is there anything else I need to know?

It smells like a red popsicle.

I said it before, and I’ll say it again. Energy drink companies are getting really good at making their energy drinks not taste like energy drinks. And Pacific Punch is no exception. It was super easy to drink.

Conclusion:

Another great job by Monster Energy. If you want a fruit punch with a caffeinated kick, Monster Pacific Punch is what you should be drinking.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Jack in the Box Blue Cheese & Bacon Ribeye Burger

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

Jack in the Box has brought back its Ribeye Burgers. Well, one of them and it’s slightly different from what it was last year. But the chain also introduced a new variety — Blue Cheese & Bacon — which replaces the Havarti & Grilled Onion.

The Blue Cheese & Bacon Ribeye Burger features 100 percent premium ribeye beef, blue cheese, and grilled onions on a toasted potato bun.

It has 650 calories, 40 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 gram of trans fat, 100 milligrams of cholesterol, 1220 milligrams of sodium, 39 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 6 grams of sugar, and 35 grams of protein.

The returning All-American Ribeye Burger comes with the same provolone cheese, spring mix, tomato, mayonnaise, and potato bun as the 2017 version. But instead of red onions, the 2018 version appears to comes with chopped white onions.

If you’ve tried the new Blue Cheese & Bacon Ribeye Burger, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

COMING SOON: Creamy Snickers Bars

/ / Coming Soon / 3 Comments

Mars Creamy SNICKERS Singles Open Bars

Mars’ upcoming Creamy Snickers Bars replace the crunch of nuts that Snickers bars are known for with the creaminess of nut butters.

The new candy bars feature a thick layer of freshly ground, creamy nut butter on top a layer of caramel, all of which is coated with milk chocolate. Three varieties will be available — Almond Butter, Peanut Butter, and Maple Almond Butter.

The new bars won’t be hitting shelves until January 2019, but they’ll be available nationwide. When they do come out, they’ll be available in Single (1.4 ounce), Share (2.8 ounce), and Stand Up Pouch (7.7 ounce) sizes.
