Little Caesars’ latest limited time offering is the Pepperoni Cheeser! Cheeser! Pizza.

The large pepperoni pizza is topped with fresh Mozzarella and sweet basil. But it seems the menu item gets its name from its toasted Asiago-Parmesan crust. The Pepperoni Cheeser! Cheeser! has an advertised price of $7, but price may vary (it’s $10 here on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean).

A whole pizza has 2400 calories, 111 grams of fat, 46 grams of saturated fat, 3 grams of trans fat, 235 milligrams of cholesterol, 4620 milligrams of sodium, 244 grams of carbohydrates, 11 grams of fiber, 13 grams of sugar, and 109 grams of protein.

Yes, showing the numbers for a whole pizza is how Little Caesars shows nutrition facts.

If you don’t plan to eat the whole pizza and don’t want to do any math, here are the numbers for 1/8 of a pizza (the serving size): (some numbers are rounded up) 300 calories, 14 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 29 milligrams of cholesterol, 578 milligrams of sodium, 31 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 2 grams of sugar, and 14 grams of protein.

If any of these interest you, customers can purchase Fresh off the Line Doughnuts either through their local Krispy Kreme drive?thru or by ordering online via Krispy Kreme’s website or app for curbside pickup or for delivery to their doorstep.

Since you can’t go inside a Krispy Kreme location to see them go under a glaze fountain, the chain has created the video below that gets you close to the glazing process.

If you try any of them, let us know what you think in the comments.

Taco Bell has a new Freeze to help with the rising temperatures — the Wild Strawberry Freeze.

Well, actually, there are two new Freezes, the second one being the Wild Strawberry Candy Freeze.

According to Taco Bell, they both taste like wild strawberries and are available for a limited time, but the Wild Strawberry Candy Freeze has candy seeds, like the ones found in the popular Watermelon Freeze. I’m not sure what wild strawberries taste like, but I just spent a few minutes reading about how awesome fraises des bois are.

A 20-ounce serving of the Wild Strawberry Freeze has 190 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 55 milligrams of sodium, 51 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 51 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.
