News: KFC - 50 Cent Hot Wings

For a limited-time and in time for the tail end of football season, KFC is promoting their Hot Wings by pricing them at 50 cents each.

Interestingly, the promotion one-ups fellow Yum brand, Pizza Hut, which offers their Wings for 50 cents on Wednesdays only.

I would be remiss if I didn't point out that my local KFC mailer often has a coupon for 20 wings for $9.99. Still, you can get any number of wings of your choice with this promo and don't have to remember to bring your coupon. I'd call ahead for large orders though.

Review: Snickers Peanut Butter Squared

 Snickers Peanut Butter Squared isn't the first time peanut butter has been added to a Snickers bar but it does change the Snickers standard candy bar shape into two wider squares. Well, unless you got yours for Halloween like I did, in which case, you only get one mini square.

If you're picking up the standard bar though it should run you about $1.
