Around the World: Taco Bell Canada's New Chili Cheese Fries Griller Actually Has Fries

Taco Bell Canada recently introduced new Loaded Grillers in two flavors: Spicy Beef Nacho and Chili Cheese Fries. There are some key differences from what we get here though.

News: General Mills - New Chex Chips

Chex cereal finds itself in a new form this year: multigrain chips. Available since January this year, new Chex Chips come in four "bold" flavors: Caramelized Onion, Cheddar Jalapeno, Cinnamon and Sugar, and Wasabi.

Frozen Friday: Totino's Buffalo Chicken Rolls

Totino's Buffalo Chicken Rolls feature the same mini-crust pockets as their signature Pizza Rolls but stuffed with cubes of white chicken meat, cheese substitute, and Buffalo-style sauce.

A 17.4-oz bag was $2.99 on sale.

Around the World: McDonald's Serves Breakfast Until 1pm in Spain

While some late-risers might bemoan the fact that McDonald's doesn't serve breakfast past 10:30 or 11:00, you'll probably be unhappy to know that in Spain, McDonald's serves breakfast until 1pm.

Review: Wendy's - Asian Cashew Chicken Salad

Wendy's new Asian Cashew Salad features fire-roasted edamame, spicy roasted cashews dusted with garlic, onion, and sea salt, chopped grilled chicken breast, sliced cucumbers, diced red bell peppers, and a lettuce blend of 11 different kinds of field greens, dressed with a light spicy Asian chili vinaigrette.

It cost me $4.29 (off of $6.29 with a coupon) for a full-sized salad.

News: Taco Bell Sends Out 1000 Breakfast Phones

In a pretty inspired marketing campaign, Taco Bell recently sent out 1,000 "Breakfast Phones" to various Taco Bell superfans and influencers as part of the lead-up to their breakfast launch coming on March 27.

What's a Breakfast Phone you ask? It's a pre-paid burner phone (it's all very covert no?) that rings and texts throughout the day with time-sensitive missions to complete for prizes.

News: Starbucks - New Teavana Oprah Chai Tea

Starbucks is tacking on a celebrity endorsement to their newest Teavana brand tea: Oprah Chai Tea.

The Great Pizza Chain BBQ Wing Off!

Along with comparing the Buffalo wings of the Big Three pizza chains (Domino's, Papa John's, and Pizza Hut), I also tried and pitted their BBQ wings against each other.

The prices and wings were the same as the Buffalo wing comparison (which you can read here if you missed it), so I'll get right to the sauce.

News: Ben & Jerry's - Heath Bar Crunch is Now Toffee Bar Crunch

With Ben & Jerry's move towards sourcing non-GMO and Fairtrade Certified ingredients wherever possible, Heath bars are getting the boot from Ben & Jerry's Heath Bar Crunch ice cream since Heath Bars aren't certified as non-GMO.

Around the World: Starbucks Japan Introduces a Lemon Latte Topped with Lemon White Chocolate

Starbucks Japan goes with the citrus-y flavor of lemon with their latest seasonal drink (and somewhat long-winded drink; I wonder if it's shorter to say in Japanese): new "Creamy Vanilla Latte with Lemony Swirl."

The Great Pizza Chain Buffalo Wing Off!

Clockwise from the bottom: Domino's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut

Each of the Big Three pizza chains (Pizza Hut, Domino's, and Papa John's) has their own version of Buffalo wings so I tried them all to see which one would come out on top (I was pretty sick of wings at the end of all this).

In a fit of hubris or supreme confidence, Pizza Hut volunteered to foot (most) of the bill for the wings.

Let's see what somewhat logical but still completely arbitrary categories I come up with this time...
