Review: Sonic Splash Sodas

Sonic Splash is the chain's new, low-cal, made-to-order soda platform. I recently tried the Blackberry-Pineapple, Sunshine Berry (strawberries, peach flavor, and fresh lemon) and Hawaiian Wave (mango syrup, pineapple, and fresh lime) flavors (there's also Peach and Raspberry).

They cost $1.19 each for a small 16-oz cup, but I received them courtesy of Sonic.

Pizza Hut Rolls Outs New Crusts, New Toppings, New Sauces, and New Look

Calling it their "biggest brand evolution ever," Pizza Hut adds ten new crust flavors, five new toppings, four new drizzles, new Skinny Slice Pizzas, eleven new specialty recipes, and a new logo, box, and uniforms starting Wednesday, November 19th, nationwide. You might remember that I mentioned they might be coming out with new pizzas.

They're calling the new menu, "The Flavor of Now" and with the addition, Pizza Hut touts that there are over 2 billion different combinations to their overall menu.

Here's a breakdown of all the changes (with links to the new ingredients/crusts I've tried so far):

That's right: Mountain Dew has been taste-testing a Doritos Nacho Cheese-flavored version of Mountain Dew soda on, at least, a few college campuses according to Time.
