Burger King Whopperrito

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

Burger King’s Whopperrito would’ve been THE IDEAL product for the burger chain to release on April Fools’ Day. It’s a menu item that would’ve caused folks to say, “Ha, ha! Nice joke, Burger King!” And then their minds would’ve been blown when they found out it’s an actual product. But that’s not going to happen because the Whopperrito will be available nationwide on August 15.

The menu item is made with flame-grilled 100 percent beef seasoned with a special blend of Tex-Mex spices, a creamy queso sauce, diced onions, tomatoes, pickles, and lettuce in a warm flour tortilla.

The burger in a wrap has 570 calories, 26 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 75 milligrams of cholesterol, 1110 milligrams of sodium, 59 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of sugar, and 29 grams of protein.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Panda Express General Tso’s Chicken

Panda Express General Tso s Chicken

General Tso’s Chicken was first served in the U.S. in the 1970s. Its popularity has grown to the point where it’s an iconic American Chinese dish and is now found on many Chinese restaurant menus across the country. But despite its popularity, Panda Express never offered it until now.

Panda Express’ General Tso’s Chicken is made with all-white meat chicken, green beans, red and yellow bell peppers, and onions tossed with a sweet, spicy, and tangy sauce.

And, yes, at first glance it looks exactly like Panda Express’ SweetFire Chicken Breast.

The new entree is available now through December 27.

QUICK REVIEW: Glaceau Breeze-e Strawberry Watermelon VitaminWater

/ / Reviews / 1 Comment

Glaceau Breeze-e Strawberry Watermelon VitaminWater

Glaceau’s Breeze-e Strawberry Watermelon VitaminWater is the best tasting VitaminWater I’ve ever had.

Okay, I might be exaggerating and the previous sentence could be the heat talking.

It’s frickin’ hot. I’ve gone through my second shirt of the day. I’m sweating like I’m guilty of something I don’t want to admit, like murder, fraud, or enjoying TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress. My body is at the point where it will say anything to get some fluids into it to replace whatever was in those two shirts. Garglepuss whoop whoop meow fart.

Drinking.

Drinking.

Ahhhh.

So I just finished all 32 ounces of it, which I believe now officially makes me hydrated, and I still think it’s the best tasting VitaminWater I’ve had. My taste buds get two flavor vibes from it. Although it supposed to be strawberry watermelon flavored, it reminds me of strawberry kiwi beverages I’ve consumed. Also, at times it tastes like an overripe strawberry. It’s not overly sweet and the flavor isn’t light like some other VitaminWater varieties.

Breeze-e has overtaken VitaminWater XXX as my favorite flavor. But it has not passed XXX as my favorite VitaminWater name.

Speaking of names, what does the extra E in Breeze-e mean? Does it honor rapper Eazy-E? No. Extraneous? No. Easy way to get folks to buy VitaminWater? No. Breeze-e provides electrolytes (It’s what plants crave) and a sad amount of the antioxidant vitamin E.

So if you’re frickin’ hot and you happen to be at a 7-Eleven (it’s an exclusive flavor this summer) looking for something to cool you down, might I recommend my new favorite VitaminWater flavor.
