Kellogg’s sends snackers three new munchies

Nobody (I think) will deny how perfect some cereals are for box-to-hand-to-mouth snacking. Perhaps the oldest of those is Sugar Frosted Flakes.

Now, Kellogg’s is blasting out Chocolate, Strawberry Milkshake, and Cinnamon French Toast flavours. Great with milk, too, I imagine. Coming in May to a cereal aisle near your.

Dairy Queen says it’s meant to be a ‘social media friendly’ beverage ‘you can enjoy by the pool’… It’s pushing the season a bit (a lot!), but what Fast Food chain doesn’t do that these days?

International Alert: Burger King pours Peanut Sauce

BK South Korea – one of those American-based Fast Food giants that often goes off the rails menu-wise – is serving up Peanut Butter Stackers. But by all accounts that have reached me, it’s not Satay-style Sauce. The official description says it’s made with Peanut Butter and ‘Dark’ Cheese.

Now, your trad Stacker is a two-patty burger. But in South Korea, there’ll also one with a Crispy Chicken patty in place of one beef slab. Will you be there May 8 or after?

International Alert: Pizza Hut does Dim Sum

A Dim Sum Pizza, that is. “Ini Pizza BARU yang pasti kalian tunggu!” the official announcement from @Pizza_HutID trumpets, in Indonesian: “This is the Pizza you’ve been waiting for!” Maybe…

It’s a regular pizza (Chicken, Meat Lovers, Cheese Lovers, and others) with little pastry-wrapped Dim Sum ‘purses’ filled with ‘prawns and fish’ arranged around the rim. Available now at Pizza Hut Indonesia locations for just 123,000 Indonesian Rupees, or around (US)$8.57.

And that’s the crème de la crème

… Of what’s destined to make some of us a little plus lourde over the coming pre-summer days and and weeks. See you back here in 7 for the next edition of Fast Food Week!
