A host of novelty items in our Crème de la Crème selection of new Fast Food and Snacks items this week. I personally like the Arby’s Deep Fried Turkey Pillow a lot. There’s lots of other cool stuff, but my second-place choice for ‘winner’ this week is the new ‘Great Beyond’ Beyond Italian Sausage Deep Dish Pizza…
Pizza Hut débuts new Beyond Pan Pizzas
Featuring new Beyond Meat Plant-based ‘Italian Sausage’, the new Pizzas are the Beyond Italian Sausage and the Great Beyond, both topped with plant-based Beyond Italian Sausage crumbles. The first Pie gets the Sausage, Cheese and Sauce. The second gets those basic ingredients plus Tomatoes, Red Onions, and Banana Peppers. Available while supplies last at all regular Hut locations and selected Pizza Express outlets.
Krispy Kreme Offers Caramel Glaze
Two new Krispy Kreme limited time Doughnuts feature a new Caramel Glaze, latest in an ongoing cavalcade of limited time Glazes. The ‘regular’ Caramel Glazed gets the glaze in place of plain Sugar. The Salted Double Caramel Crunch gets an additional sprinkling of Salted Crunch topping. Available until November 22 at participating KK stores.
Pringles goes spicy for the holidays
Pringles – the people who revolutionized the Potato Chip market by using processed Spuds to extrude ‘perfect’ Chips – have hopped on the ‘Spicy’ bandwagon, adding three new Pringles Scorchin’ flavors: Scorchin’ BBQ, Scorchin’ Cheddar, and Scorchin’ Chili & Lime. The official bumpf says these hotties combine bold flavour plus a spicy kick. It’s the first Pringles has floated a whole line of spicy chips at the same time.
