FAST FOOD NEWS: McDonald’s McCafe Green Apple Smoothie

McDonald's McCafe Green Apple Smoothie

Impulsive Buy friend Brad, who has sent in a number McDonald’s products testing in the Chicago area, sent us a screenshot of a commercial that features the McCafe Green Apple Smoothie.

The new smoothie isn’t listed with the other flavors-Blueberry Pomegranate, Strawberry Banana, and Mango Pineapple-on the McDonald’s website, so it’s either a test item or a regional product. A quick Google and Twitter search shows that it’s also being sold in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and N.Y. Our friends over at Thirsty Dudes gave it a try.

If you’ve tasted the McCafe Green Apple Smoothie, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Is Pizza Hut’s Hot Dog Stuffed Crust Pizza Coming To The U.S.?

Pizza Hut Hot Dog Stuffed Crust Pizza

Canada.

Australia.

U.K.

South Korea.

Since 2012, these are countries that have had the Hot Dog Stuffed Crust Pizza offered at their Pizza Hut restaurants at one time or another. Absent from this list is the pizza and hot dog-loving United States. But that may change on June 18.

Impulsive Buy reader The Groove Machine sent us this photo of a promotional flyer that features a French’s mustard packet with another condiment packet that has printed on it a Venn diagram with a hot dog in one circle and a pizza in another. It could mean Pizza Hut will finally be offering their Hot Dog Stuffed Crust Pizza in the U.S. Or it could be a pizza that’s topped with hot dogs and mustard. Or maybe they’re doing what Burger King recently did.

We’ll find out on June 18.

If you have any information about it, please share it in the comments.
