Yes, the exclamation point is part of its name.  The bright yellow flavor is made up of lemon custard ice cream with Oreo icing ribbon and Golden Oreo cookie pieces mixed in.  A 2.5-ounce scoop has 220 calories, 13 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 35 milligrams of cholesterol, 85 milligrams of sodium, 24 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 20 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p>This month, Slurpee released a new flavor called Summertime Lime, which combines lime with a hint of vanilla.  But I wonder how many people are going drop a little mixology and combine Summertime Lime Slurpee with tequila or their favorite hard liquor?  This seasonal Slurpee has no caffeine and is made using natural flavors, but contains no juice.  An 8-ounce serving contains 65 calories, 0 grams of fat, 5 milligrams of sodium, 17 grams of carbohydrates, and 17 grams of sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Dairy Queen&#8217;s May Blizzard of the Month is German Chocolate Brownie, which is made up of vanilla soft serve, chewy brownie pieces, pecan pieces, caramel, and coconut.  To be honest, I&#8217;ve never heard of German chocolate brownies until reading about this Blizzard.  Thanks DQ for educating me. I forgive you for coming up with the word &#8220;RIDQULOUS.&#8221; If you want to read a review, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onsecondscoop.com\/2011\/05\/dq-may-2011-blizzard-of-month-german.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">On Second Scoop posted one<\/a>.  A small serving of German Chocolate Brownie Blizzard has 700 calories, 34 grams of fat, 16 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 55 milligrams of cholesterol, 420 milligrams of sodium, 90 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 67 grams of sugar, and 14 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Subway&#8217;s $5 Featured Footlong of the month is the Orchard Chicken Salad sub, which isn&#8217;t a new sandwich. It&#8217;s been around for several years, but when it&#8217;s been available, it&#8217;s only for a limited time, much like it is this month.  If you&#8217;ve never experienced the Orchard Chicken Salad sub, it&#8217;s made using chicken chunks, apples, golden raisins, cranberries, and celery mixed with a light mayo.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grubgrade.com\/2010\/05\/27\/fast-food-review-new-orchard-chicken-salad-sub-from-subway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grub Grade<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brandeating.com\/2010\/05\/review-subway-orchard-chicken-salad-sub.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brand Eating<\/a> both reviewed the sandwich last year.
