During the week, we brought Fast Food mainstream with a post on McDonald’s new employee uniforms. But, as usual, we thought the rest could wait for the weekly Roundup. This time, we have KFC from down-under, another OREO innovation and a ‘Pizza-Crusted Pizza Burger’. No. Really…
Mr. and Mrs. I Love SPAM. The Cake was not made of SPAM…
Hot enough for you, mate?
Let’s start with that KFC. The Colonel’s boys and girls have tried lot of things, in recent years, to keep you interested in their product in the face of louder and louder messages from the competition. But, now, they’ve got something Hot Pepper lovers can’t ignore: Tabasco-marinated KFC! The usual chicken pieces are soaked in a Tabasco hot sauce marinade for 24 hours before being Breaded and fried. You get extra Tabasco sauce with your order, in case the Chicken isn’t hot enough for you. The catch? It’s only available in Australia and only until May 15.
OREO chills out…

What you get is a Pizza-stuffed jumbo Burger Patty sandwiched between two person-sized Pizzas. Really. How you eat it, short of picking up the knife and fork, is a mystery. Or, a ‘mess’-tery. I guess it tastes good, though…
You can love SPAM, but can you Marry it?
No. But you can. apparently, get married at the SPAM museum. Liverpool, England resident Mark Benson legally changed his middle name to “I Love SPAM” and, recently, brought his whole wedding party to the SPAM Museum in Austin, Minnesota, forthe wedding of the year. For him,. anyway. ILS’s new wife, Anne, were the first couple to ever get married at the SPAM Museum.The Museum was decked out in SPAM swag and the Cake was SPAM-themed, though not made from SPAM. The Bride’s flowers were, of course, SPAM-pink. And the receptionfeatured SPAM appetizers…

Thick & Hearty sauce, crispy onions, melted American cheese, and mayo on a sesame seed bun. It’s similar to the A.1. Ultimate Cheeseburger BK floated in 2014…
