Everybody is focusing on snacks this week! Only a couple of mains, a single side, and no beverages whatsoever. But there is a nifty seasonal Pizza from Domino’s Japan. And a late but great St. Pat’s collection from Krispy Kreme…

Pizza Hut and Yeastie Boys collab on Bagel
The Hut has partnered with Yeastie Boys, an LA ‘bagel-based food truck concept’ on a new Big New Yorker Pizza Bagel. “The Big New Yorker Pizza Bagel is a bold celebration of New York’s culinary spirit…
… and we can’t wait for pizza and bagel lovers alike to experience this new item,” said the Hut’s Chief Innovation Officer, Rachel Antalek. “I am beyond stoked to share these with the public,” enthused Yeastie Boys founder Evan Fox.
Sides
Frank’s Red Hot débuts new sauces
Frank’s may be the most prolific maker of hot sauces. And now they’re adding even more. Three new dipping sauces and three more ‘squeezing’ sauces.
The dippers are thick and creamy, and thus milder than Frank’s signature sauces. At selected retailers now, with US-wide availability ‘coming soon’.
Snacks
Little Caesar’s pops Crazy Puffs
They’re grab-and-go naturals. Hand-held, ‘hot’ n’ ready’, and packed with pizza punch. They’re like a cross between a pizza and a mini quiche. Get an order of 4 for just $3.99. Or assay a Hot-N-Ready combo meal, including your favorite pizza plus with a side of Crazy Puffs.

Burger King launches new Fiery snacks…
You can get a Fiery Royal Buffalo Crispy Wrap, or Fiery Buffalo Nuggets. Both chicken-based treats feature a new spicy Buffalo Glaze, sporting a ‘tangy, buttery buffalo flavor with the perfect amount of spice.” The wrap is built on a glazed ‘chicken breast filet’, accompanied by creamy buffalo sauce, lettuce and tomato.
… Scoops Po’s Panda Sundae
The limited-time dessert cup features vanilla soft serve, chocolate topping and a shower of OREO cookie pieces.
It’s a collab with Kung Fu Panda 4, now playing in cinemas across the US. o surprise, then, that the sundae rocks ‘Panda colours’…
SONIC adds 2 new chicken snack wraps
They’re the Hickory BBQ Crispy Tender Wrap and Cheesy Baja Crispy Tender Wrap. Both wraps include a crispy-fried chicken tender with cheddar cheese, and lettuce. The BBQ version gets BBQ sauce. The Baja gets a zesty cheese sauce. For a limited time, across the chain.
Cheetos collabs with Ghost Busters
The Cheese Puff snack with the cartoon spokes-Cheetah is shipping new Ghost Pepper flavoured Cheetos in a promo collab with the new movie, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.
One catch: They’re available ‘exclusively in theatres’. So that bag of Cheetos is going to cost you about $40 bucks, by the time you pay for a movie ticket and a drink, on top.
