Review: Krispy Kreme - Glazed Lemon Cake Donut with Cream Cheese Icing

The Glazed Lemon Cake Donut with Cream Cheese Icing is one of Krispy Kreme's new, seasonal Fruit Stand Flavors and consists of a glazed lemon cake donut topped with cream cheese icing and lemon cake crumbles.

They're a little over a dollar each at my "local" (25 miles away) Krispy Kreme, but I picked up an assorted dozen for $9.49. No sales tax because I got it "to go."

News: Subway - June 2012 Featured $5 Footlong

Subway's Featured $5 Footlong for this June is the Oven Roasted Chicken Sub with Spinach. It features their regular Oven Roasted Chicken Sub, but with spinach! Never mind that you could always get it with spinach... spinach is good for you!

Haha, I'm pretty sure you could get it without spinach as well. Although I wonder if you would have to say, "Can I get a Footlong Oven Roasted Chicken Sub with Spinach without the spinach?" to keep the $5 pricing. I mean, technically the Oven Roasted Chicken Sub is not $5.

Review: Pizza Hut - Buffalo Chicken P'Zolo

Pizza Hut's Buffalo Chicken P'Zolo is one of three new stromboli-like foodstuff featured on Pizza Hut's menu. While the P'Zolo name might result in a puzzled look or two, the Buffalo Chicken P'Zolo is simple enough featuring white meat chicken chunks, buffalo wing seasoning, and cheese rolled up in pizza dough and topped with a sprinkle of Asiago cheese before baking.

At $3 each or 2 for $5, you can see Pizza Hut has Subway's $5 Footlongs clear in their sights with the P'Zolos.
