Update: We tried the Pineapple Whip Freeze! Click here to read our review.

Taco Bell wants to sweeten your summer with two new Freezes — the Pineapple Freeze and Pineapple Whip Freeze.

The Pineapple Freeze is, well, as you’ve probably guessed if you’ve had a Taco Bell Freeze before, a slush drink that’s pineapple flavored.

A regular-sized Pineapple Freeze has 160 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 50 milligrams of sodium, 41 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 41 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.

The slightly more exciting Pineapple Whip Freeze is a combination of the Pineapple Freeze with something its ingredients list calls “vanilla creamer whip.”

A regular-size one has 210 calories, 1 gram of fat, 0.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, less than 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 55 milligrams of sodium, 52 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 49 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried either Pineapple Freeze, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

Starbucks has a new summer-inspired drink to help cool you down this summer.

According to the coffee chain’s website, the Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink features a guava juice blend with notes of passionfruit that’s hand-shaken with flavors of pineapple and ginger along with coconutmilk and ice.

Besides the new caffeine-free beverage, Starbucks also introduced the Grilled Chicken and Hummus Protein Box, the Unicorn Cake Pop, and announced the return of the S’mores Frappuccino.

If you end up at Arby’s, but don’t feel like eating sliced meat, the chain has a new crispy chicken sandwich — the Chicken Cheddar Ranch Sandwich.

It has 610 calories, 30 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 1400 milligrams of sodium, 58 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, and 43 grams of protein.

It’s a new month, which means it’s time for a new Sonic product. Actually, I don’t think the chain releases a new product EVERY month, but it sure does seems like it. Anyhoo, Sonic has introduced the Queso Burger.

It features a quarter-pound, 100% pure beef patty topped with cheddar, a zesty cheese sauce with Hatch Green Chiles, grilled onions, and mayo on a toasted bakery bun. The burger has an advertised price of $3.99 and is available for a limited time.

If you’re not familiar with Hatch Green Chiles, join the club. If you want to be familiar with the pepper, you can read this, which was the second article that popped up when I typed into Google “what are hatch green chiles.”
