News: Snyder's of Hanover Unveils 7 New Products

Snyder's of Hanover is out with four new types of flavored pretzels and three new varieties of reduced fat tortilla chips.

Here's a list of the new additions:

- Roasted Garlic & Herb Nibblers feature naturally-aged sourdough pretzels broken into bite-sized pieces and seasoned with a blend of roasted garlic and savory herbs. They're available in 12-ounce bags for around $3.69.

News: Subway - June Featured $5 Footlong

Subway's Featured $5 Footlong for June is the Oven Roasted Chicken with Spinach, which features a base of oven-roasted chicken and spinach plus your choice of bread, condiments, and veggies.

It looks like they're doing away with the $3 Six-Inch Select Sub this month (perhaps because it was the Oven Roasted Chicken the last two months and that would be a bit redundant with the Featured Footlong this month).

Neat! Coca-Cola Ice Bottle

Translated: "Cold to the last drop."
With summer fast approaching, Coca-Cola offers the new Coke Ice Bottle to beach-goers in Colombia. It's literally a Coke bottle made of ice and filled with the bubbly drink, so you never have to worry about your drink going warm (because the bottle will melt before then!).

Review: Taco Bell - Spicy Beef Mini Quesadilla

Taco Bell's Spicy Beef Mini Quesadilla is part of their current $1 Cravings menu test. It's a folded and pressed taco-sized flour tortilla filled with ground beef, 3-cheese blend, and spicy chipotle sauce.

Around the World: Pizza Hut Sweden Offers the Pizza Sun

Looks like putting a hole in the middle of your pizza is becoming a little bit of a thing. Over in Sweden, Pizza Hut is currently offering the limited-time Pizza Sun. 

While it doesn't resemble the sun anymore than any other pizza, it does have a hole in the middle where a mixed green salad can be found (i.e. stuff that needs the sun to grow).
