Review: Taco Bell - Snapple Lemonade Freeze

Burger King is offering a Spicy BLT version of their signature burger, the Whopper, for a limited time at participating locations.

New Zesty Salsa Pringles Tortilla Chips

Pringles introduces new Zesty Salsa as the latest flavor in the Pringles Tortillas line. Zesty Salsa is described as a "tangy, mouth-watering, tomato" flavor.

Taco Bell Testing Taco Sauce Flavored Chips

Taco Bell is testing taco sauce-flavored tortilla chips in at least one location here in Southern California. Mirroring the company's taco sauces, the chips are available in Mild, Hot, and Fire versions.

The chips were spotted at a Taco Bell in Santa Ana, CA by a fellow Brand Eater who described them as tasting "like Doritos covered in Taco Bell sauce."

The chips came in 2-oz bags for $1.49 each and are good for 280 calories. You can see the bag is meant to resemble the design of Taco Bell's sauce packets.

Mountain Dew's Kickstart Hydrating Boost is a caffeinated soda with coconut water and comes in two flavors: Strawberry Kiwi and Pineapple Orange Mango.

I tried both flavors at $1 per 12-oz can.
