Congratulations, Lindsey!

I’d also like to thank all of you who participated, whether it was leaving a comment or tweeting “I wonder if Kmart stores dream about being Target stores.” Be on the lookout for another gift card prize drawing later this month. Where will the gift card be from? Let’s just say it’s not as good as a Target Gift Card.

NEWS: Wendy’s To Add ‘The W’ Cheeseburger Line Weally Soon

Several weeks ago, Wendy’s introduced nationwide their Dave’s Hot ‘n Juicy Cheeseburgers, but it looks like Wendy’s isn’t done with releasing new products this year.

In late November, Wendy’s will introduce a mid-priced cheeseburger line called “The W.” Once they’re available, they’ll make it possible to eat The W while listening to The W at The W. The new line of cheeseburgers will be priced at $2.99 and will squeeze in between the premium Dave’s Hot ‘n Juicy burgers and the products on the 99¢ Everyday Value Menu, like the Cheeseburger Deluxe.

The W Cheeseburgers will have two 2.25-ounce beef patties. According to Burger Business, the new line appears to be what Wendy’s has been testing in select markets under the D.T. Doubles name.

Grub Grade posted something about the D.T. Doubles a few months ago. According to that post the varieties we could be looking at when The W is released are Original (American cheese and a signature sauce), Spicy Chipotle (pepper jack cheese and fiery chipotle sauce), and Garlic Steakhouse (monterey jack cheese and aioli sauce).

NEWS: If You Love Meat, Cheese, and Bread, You Might Enjoy Taco Bell’s Triple Steak Stack

Update: Click here to read our Taco Bell Triple Steak Stack review

The “triple” in Taco Bell’s Triple Steak Stack could not only mean the triple serving of steak it has, but also the total number of ingredients it has. The latest item from Taco Bell has a hefty serving of marinated steak, a Monterey Jack/Cheddar/Mozzarella cheese blend, and a nine-inch bolillo flatbread. That’s it.

Wow. Just meat, cheese, and bread. I don’t know about you, but that sounds disappointing. Usually, if I want meat, cheese, and bread that’ll disappointment, I just go to Subway.

The Taco Bell Triple Steak Stack is expected to be available nationwide soon, but our friends over at Grub Grade already have a review of it.

The Triple Steak Stack weighs in at 303 grams and its nutritional facts are as follows: 690 calories, 120 calories from fat, 20 grams of fat, 13 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 90 milligrams of cholesterol, 1,950 milligrams of sodium, 59 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 12 grams of sugar, and 46 grams of protein.

NEWS: Jamba Juice Apple Cinnamon Cheer May Give You Holiday Joy, But Not Like A New iPad Can

Update: Click here to read our Jamba Juice Apple Cinnamon Cheer review

Beginning November 15, Jamba Juice will be offering a new holiday smoothie for a limited time — Apple Cinnamon Cheer.

If there’s one flavor Jamba Juice seems to really like it’s apple cinnamon. Other apple cinnamon products on Jamba’s menu include Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal, Apple Cinnamon Pretzel, and Awesome Apple Cinnamon Whirl’ns frozen yogurt.

According to the Jamba Juice press release:

The new Apple Cinnamon Cheer smoothie continues Jamba’s tradition of bringing you healthy holiday cheer in a cup. This limited time creamy treat is delicious and provides a healthy alternative to the common indulgences this time of year with two servings of fruit (in an original size), a good source of vitamin C, 0g trans fat and no artificial preservatives.

I’m pretty sure the amount of holiday cheer the Apple Cinnamon Cheer smoothie brings doesn’t come close to the cheer a 50″ HDTV or a new puppy with a big red bow around its neck brings. I’ve never seen anyone smile while hugging a smoothie, but I have seen people smile while hugging a flat-screen TV.
