No sooner have we welcomed in the new Year than the major Fast Food chains are gearing up their hype machines and presenting us with new, Calorie-laden, Sugar-socked, Fat-fuddled treats. Sonic wins the ‘$2.99 Special’ Value Sweepstakes, and Kit Kat does Valentine’s Day…
Papa John’s Extra Cheesy Alfredo Garlic Parmesan Crust Pizza: Truly a mouthful…
Papa John’s features new Extra-Cheesy Pie
It must be because the football season is coming to a climax, and demand is about to soar. The Pizza joints are getting their annual case of Pie Mania. Pies and specials to get you thinking about their brand when you make the inevitable phone call… Papa John’s, for instance, is rolling out a new Extra Cheesy Alfredo Garlic Parmesan Crust Pizza at the the same as their promotional price as a 1-topping, large Garlic Parmesan Crust Pizza. It’s topped with Provolone, Fontina and Asiago Cheeses and an extra layer of Mozzerella.
Pizza Pizza offers deep discount Meat Lover’s Pie
It’s just $10 and it’s only around for a limited time right across the chain. The Large Meat Lover’s comes with Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Ham, Bacon, Seasoned Pork and Beef, depending where you live, and what the usual price for a Large Meat Lover’s is, the deal represents an average saving of 30 percent off.
Subway has $2.99 ‘Roasted Chicken’ Subs
The guys who brought you Cold Cuts so thin you actually read the news paper through them are offering two new 6 in. subs for just $2.99, for a limited time. They’re billing them as Fresh Value items and they’re on the FreshFit menu. The first is the Oven Roasted Chicken sub which is composed of seasoned White-meat Chicken, Lettuce, Spinach, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Green Peppers, and Onions. The other special Sub is the Veggie Delite, which contains two official servings of Veggies and clocks in at under 400 Calories.
Sonic launches $2.99 Chicken Tender Sandwich deal
Sonic has added a Crispy Tender Sandwich special to its Carhop Deal menu. That means you can choose either Crispy Chicken Renders or a Quarter Pound Double Cheeseburger with Tater Tots for just $2.99. The Crispy Tender Sandwich starts with two Crispy Chicken Tenders and tops them with Lettuce, and Mayo on a toasted Bun. Either version of the Carhop special sounds great to me…
KFC brings back Famous Bowls
KFC is bringing back its Famous Bowls meals for January, for just $3.00 a pop. The Famous Bowl layers crispy Popcorn Chicken over Mashed Potatoes and tops them with Corn, Shredded Cheese, and Gravy. The Spicy Bowl tops the Taters exactly the same way, but drizzles the Bowl all over with Nashville Hot Sauce.
Kit Kat Goes Raspberry for Valentine’s Day…
Kit Kat has quietly launched a new Valentine’s Day special flavour: Raspberry Crème. The interior of the bar is the same as usual, but it’s coated with a shell of Raspberry-flavoured White Chocolate. When you mix Raspberry and White you get Pink, of course. Just the thing for the moist romantic day of the year.
… Launches Lemon Crisp just because
As if they needed a reason to bring out a new flavour, Kit Kat has just launched what some a re calling a whisper of Spring and Summer to come: Lemon Crisp.Like the new Raspberry confection, Lemon Crisp features the same interior wafer arrangement but is enrobed in Lemon Crème flavoured White Chocolate. The blend produces a pleasant pastel Lemon colour, which says ‘summer breezes and blossoms’ all by itself.
And that’s the Skinny…
… On what’s making some of us fatter this month! See you back here in 7 for a new edition of Fast Food Week!
