Candy Corn Oreos feature a candy corn flavored creme (half colored orange, half colored yellow) sandwiched between two Golden Oreo wafers (kinda white) to reflect the candy corn color scheme.

Since Subway is throwing themselves a birthday party this month, it's only appropriated that they're baking new, limited-time Birthday Berry Cookies, which feature a colorful blend of red, white, and blue in cookie form. Specifically, the cookie has cranberries, blueberries, and white chocolate chips baked in.

My local Subway charges 60 cents per cookie or three for $1.25.

Burger King has been on a tear lately with their new menu items. For the fall, starting this September, Burger King is serving up 7 (or 9 if you count the different varieties of wraps) new, limited-time menu items.

Review: Popeyes - Southern Peach Pie

With summer well on its way out, Popeyes' Southern Peach Pie also nears the end of its run. Fortunately, I was able to grab on for $1.49 on a recent visit to Popeye's.

From the product picture, I was expecting the bubbly, crispy-fried pie crust similar to McDonald's back in the day. Instead, I received something that more resembled a darkened normal pie crust that may have been baked at some point.

News: Pizza Hut Returns the Big Dinner Box

Just in time for football season, Pizza Hut's latest promotion returns the limited-time Big Dinner Box for $19.99 (last seen in 2011 and not to be confused with the $10 Dinner Box). There are a couple of tweaks though.

In 2011, the Big Dinner Box came with 2 rectangular, medium, 1-topping pizzas, 8 wings of your choice, and 5 breadsticks with marinara dipping sauce. This time around, instead of 8 wings, you can choose from one of three items: a tray of Tuscani Pasta (Meaty or Creamy Chicken Alfredo), 4 Stuffed Pizza Rollers, or 8 wings (with your choice of dipping sauce). My local Pizza Hut also includes an order Quepapas (cheesy fried potato bites) as a possible choice.

News: Subway - September 2012 Featured Footlong

This month, Subway's September 2012 Featured $5 Footlong(s) is a bit of a question mark because it varies from Subway location to Subway location.

This year they've decided to throw themselves a birthday party (I've read that Subway was founded in August though) all month long and are offering $5 Footlong Faves which is basically a selection of $5 Footlong subs that varies from store to store. Basically, you'll just have to go or call your local Subway to find out what they're offering for $5.
