News: KFC - $3.99 Combo Meals

KFC is offering new $3.99 Combo Meals as the latest value play for your dollar.

There are four combos in all. Some come with a side and drink, while others just come with a drink. They are as follows:

Review: Subway - Flatizza

Subway's new Flatizza is a flatbread pizza offering from the sandwich chain. Each Flatizza features a square of flatbread, topped with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and a number of topping combos.

I went with a Veggie and a Spicy Italian to cover the bases. They sell at a limited-time introductory price of $3.00 to $3.50 each or two for $5.

News: Krispy Kreme - New Coffee-Inspired Donuts

Krispy Kreme's latest limited-time rotation features new coffee-inspired donuts that they're calling the "Lotta Latte" donuts.

Offered at participating Krispy Kreme locations in both Canada and the US, there's two donuts: the Mocha Kreme Donut and the Caramel Coffee Kreme Donut.

News: McDonald's - Shamrock Shakes and Strawberry & Creme Pies Back for a Limited Time

It looks like Shamrock Shakes and Strawberry & Creme Pies are back at McDonald's for a limited time.

There doesn't appear to be a national campaign this time around, so it's likely the items are available at participating locations in select markets (I've been able to verify that they're available in the Southern California and New York Tri-state markets).

Review: Keebler - Simply Made Butter Cookies

Keebler's Simply Made Butter Cookies are part of their Simply Made line of cookies made with (mostly) simple ingredients you'd find at home rather than the laundry list of ingredients we've used to seeing.

A 10-ounce package was on sale for $2.99.

Around the World: Dunkin' Donuts India - New Stirr'accino

Over in India, Dunkin' Donut recently introduced a brewed coffee-espresso hybrid drink they're calling the Stirr'accino.

The Stirr'accino is poured into four separated layers that you can "stir" together before drinking.

Review: Mackintosh's Mack Toffee

I got Mackintosh's Mack Toffee (made by Nestle) because my brother was going to Canada and I wanted to request some new foods to try. I did a quick search for quintessential Canadian foods and they turned up so here we are.

These are only sold in Canada and a 170g bag was $3.29 CAN (~$3.00 US).

Around the World: McDonald's Canada Shows How Chicken McNuggets are Made

McDonald's Canada recently put up video footage giving a inside look of the factory of one of their suppliers to show how Chicken McNuggets are made.

The video was posted in response to a question asking, "What are legitimately in mcnuggets is there pink goop?"

News: Krispy Kreme - New Bottled Iced Coffee at Walmart

It looks like Krispy Kreme is set to challenge Starbucks' bottled Frappuccinos at the grocery store... or at least at Walmart where bottled versions in two flavors, Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Iced Coffee and Krispy Kreme Mocha Iced Coffee, are now available.

The coffees come in ready-to-drink 9.5-oz bottles (same size as Starbucks' bottled Frappuccinos) with a price of $1.98 each.

Review: Dairy Queen - Red Velvet Cake Blizzard

Dairy Queen's new, limited-time Red Velvet Cake Blizzard features a blend of vanilla soft serve, red velvet cake pieces, and cream cheese frosting.
