Quite a brigade of burgers this week! Many on test market; others back for popular annual turns. Taco Bell rides the Mexican Pizza stallion even harder. And Chips Ahoy! celebrates with Confetti Cookies…
Triple Crunch Mexican Pizza: The Bell expands a popular offering…
Taco Bell expands Mexican Pizza concept
At least the brand is testing what it calls a Triple Crunch MP in Omaha, Nebraska. The menu item is really just a three-layer Mex Pizza with three full layers of MP toppings on three crispy corn tortillas. The bottom two layers are stuffed with beans and seasoned beef, and the top one is lavishly strewn with with Mexican pizza sauce, diced tomatoes, and melted three-cheese blend.
Burger King spices up Canadian menu
Love spicy? Here’s your big chance! BK is sizzling up a new Zesty Horseradish King burger and Jalapeno Cheddar Chicken Nuggets. The The Zesty Horseradish King starts with a flame-grilled beef patty, American (Processed) cheese, bacon, crispy-fried onion rings, and house Zesty Horseradish sauce on a toasted sesame seed bun. The Jalapeno Cheddar Chicken Nuggets are regular breaded chicken nuggets with a ‘zesty cheddar’ seasoning featuring a modest dose of jalapeños.
Carl’s Jr., A.1. Sauce together again
For a limited time only, of course. This time they’re collabbing on a massive 1/3 lb. all-beef Angus burger.
The patty is generously sprinkled with Canadian (Montreal) Steak Seasoning, and topped with A.1. Steak Sauce, Swiss cheese, crispy-fried onion rings, and mayo.
Hardee’s intros 4 For $6 Deals
Two modest appetites can be satisfied for just $6 for a limited time, choosing from a special 8-item list of mains, sides and desserts. At participating Hardee’s stores chain-wide. The deal was also tested over the summer at Carl’s Jr. but there’s been no word whether the new main deal will show up there.
Popeye’s caps year with $6 Chicken sammys
Popeyes’ Chicken Sandwich Combo includes a choice of either a Classic, Spicy, or Blackened Chicken Sandwich, a regular side, and a drink.

Jack In The Box rolls out 2-For-$6 Biscuits
Actually, they’re full-sized breakfast sandwich biscuits constructed simply but robustly of: a ‘freshly-cracked egg’, grilled sausage patty, and American (Processed)cheese on a warm buttermilk biscuit. The chain serves breakfast all day. That includes the 2-For-$6 deal. Fans say they’re the Fast Food world’s best, biggest Breakfast Biscuits…
Confetti Cake Cookies
Chips Ahoy! has something bright and beautiful for the Holidays: Confetti Cake Cookies. Translation: Cakey-flavoured chewy cookies with chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles.
Not just for the Holidays, either: The special edition is meant to celebrate the brand’s 60th birthday!
K-Pop, OREOs pop new Cookie Craze
At least that’s what they’re anticipating – the craze part, I mean. Without saying much about the flavour, they’re putting a lot of emphasis on the colour. If you are a K-Pop fan or live with one, you’ll know that BLACKPINK is the latest Korean Pop Tween Girl Group. Accordingly, the limited-edition OREOs release will feature Pink wafer cookies sandwiching special black creme Stuf. A special series of Collector Cards will accompany the release. Alas, fans, this is an Asian-only release. At least for now.
Ferrero gobbles up Halo Top
The European chocolate and confection giant, Ferrero, whose products are well-known in North America, has acquired the company that owns U.S. ice cream specialty maker Halo Top and a dozen or so other NA brands.
Ferrero is one of the world’s biggest confectionery companies reporting global consolidated revenue of $13.3 billion for its last complete fiscal year. The total world market is estimated at $36.9 billion.
And that’s the skinny….
… On what’s going to be making us all a little fatter now through the end of the year. See you back here in 7 for another edition of Fast Food Week!
