FAST FOOD NEWS: Sonic Transformers The Last Knight Slushes

Sonic Transformers The Last Knight Slushes

Sonic is promoting the upcoming Transformers The Last Knight movie by offering color changing slushes for a limited time.

There are three “transforming” varieties:

Optimus Prime – a cherry slush with blue raspberry flavor on top.

Megatron – a sweet, clear slush with grape flavor on top.

Bumblebee – an orange slush with grape flavor on top.

Hmmm. Let’s see now. Red and blue make purple. Clear and purple make purple. Orange and purple make, um, brown?

A small Optimus Prime Slush has 210 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 35 milligrams of sodium, 55 grams of carbohydrates, 55 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried any of them, let us know what colors they change into it in the comments.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Arby’s Pizza Slider and Half Pound Roast Beef Sandwiches

Arby s Pizza Slider

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

Arby’s has added a new limited time only addition to their Sliders lineup — the Pizza Slider.

The mini sandwich features genoa salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, and roasted garlic marinara on a mini bun.

The Pizza Slider had 300 calories, 17 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 35 milligrams of cholesterol, 930 milligrams of sodium, 23 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 2 grams of sugar, and 13 grams of protein.

Arby s Half Pound Beef  N Cheddar

But if the Pizza Slider is a bit too small for you, Arby’s is also now offering sandwiches that are on the opposite extreme.

The chain’s new Half Pound Roast Beef Sandwiches are some of their classic sandwiches, but with a half-pound of meat.

There’s the Half Pound Roast Beef Sandwich with eight ounces of roast beef in between a sesame seed bun with Horsey Sauce and Arby’s Sauce; the Half Pound French Dip & Swiss features the meat plus Swiss cheese on a sub roll with a side of au jus for dipping; and finally there’s the Half Pound Beef ‘n Cheddar that has cheddar cheese sauce and red ranch sauce on an onion bun with the roast beef.

With the Roast Beef and Beef ‘N Cheddar Sandwiches, Arby’s also offers them in Classic and Double sizes. To give you an idea of how much of a difference there is between them and the half-pound version. I asked Siri to convert the original Roast Beef Sandwich’s serving weights from grams to ounces.

A classic Roast Beef Sandwich is 5.43 ounces, a double is 8.43 ounces, and the half-pound version is 10.41 ounces.

Thanks, Siri!

The Half Pound Beef ‘N Cheddar has 740 calories, 39 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 2 grams of trans fat, 130 milligrams of cholesterol, 2530 milligrams of sodium, 48 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 9 grams of sugar, and 49 grams of protein.
