Review: Burger King - Four Cheese Whopper

Burger King's Four Cheese Whopper features a quarter-pound beef patty, a slice of American cheese, a shredded, three-cheese blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella, cheddar sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, on a toasted sesame seed bun. It's more or less a standard Whopper with extra cheese/cheese sauce.

It was $4.99 for the burger (which is 40 cents more than a regular Whopper in my neck of the woods).

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.
