Last month, Taco Bell began serving First Meal (breakfast) at nearly 800 locations, mainly in the western U.S. It’s a logical pairing, what with breakfast burritos being awesome and all. They plan to release First Meal nationwide by 2014. They’re a bit late to the table, with McDonald’s, Burger King, Carl’s Jr, Sonic, Jack in [...]

Oreos are awesome. If you disagree, there are two possible reasons: One, you are not American. I’ll give you a pass because there’s no way you could truly understand the awesomeness of Oreos. Two, there is something seriously wrong with you and you should go the the emergency room immediately. Your taste buds may have [...]

By now, you might have heard about the new Bacon Shake at Jack in the Box. News broke last week, and the internets have since exploded with opinions on the porcine treat. Some people say it’s amazing because it has bacon and ice cream, while others say it’s just another way for fat Americans to [...]

There’s no questioning that McDonald’s is the most recognizable fast food chain in the world. McDonald’s is where it all started, as far as fast food goes. Everyone is familiar with the Golden Arches, and staples like the Big Mac, Chicken McNuggets, and Egg McMuffins. They’re often imitated, never duplicated. But while McDonald’s is at [...]

The latest addition to Taco Bell’s repetitive menu is the Beefy Crunch Burrito. It was re-released last month after being originally introduced over a year ago. I can’t say I’ve ever been excited about a new menu item from Taco Bell. I did eat quite a few Beefy Melts before they got rid of them [...]

There’s no question that Doritos are one of America’s favorite snacks. If Popchips hadn’t rallied the vote for Snack Madness, I’m fairly confident Doritos would have gone on to win. Whether you prefer one of the classics, Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch, or one of those weird flavors that keep popping up, like Tacos at [...]

I’m just going to put it out there: I love sugary cereal. Lucky Charms, Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes, Reese’s Puffs…you get the picture. I’ve been known to take down half a box in one sitting, no milk necessary. Cinnamon Toast Crunch has long been one of my favorites. Who doesn’t enjoy licking pure cinnamon sugar [...]

The Mac Snack Wrap is back at McDonald’s for a limited time only. I guess at least one person in the world missed it, or something. The Mac Snack Wrap was first introduced in 2009, and discontinued in 2010. It has now been brought back from the dead. The weird thing is, while I knew [...]

I always had a love/hate relationship with Burger King’s fries. Sometimes (usually late at night) I would marvel at their crispy, greasy, salty addictiveness. Other times I would be repulsed by those same qualities. Just the thought of them would make my stomach turn. And other times I thought they were OK. I thought the [...]
