FAST FOOD NEWS: Pizza Hut Twisted Crust Pizza

Marvo 1 Comment

Pizza Hut Twisted Crust Pizza

Pizza Hut’s latest item combines pizza with breadsticks. Their Twisted Crust Pizza features their hand tossed crust and a tearable, dippable breadstick crust.

I imagined this combination would happen someday, but I thought it would happen with their regular breadsticks. Of course, I didn’t take into consideration such things as different cooking times for the pizza and breadsticks, how the rigid breadsticks would go around the pizza, and how fast food daydreams differ from reality.

The Twisted Crust Pizza also comes with two dipping sauces — a marinara sauce and your choice of either Buffalo Ranch or Cheddar Cheese sauce, both of which are new.

A large one topping Twisted Crust Pizza with two dipping sauces is available for $11.99 at participating locations.

Disney is milking Star Wars money every way possible. That would’ve never happened under George Luc…no wait, he did that too. (Spotted by Robbie at H-E-B.)

Kettle Brand Dill Pickle Krinkle Cut Potato Chips

Kettle Brand Dill Pickle Krinkle Cut Potato Chips

Here’s a dilemma for you. Let’s say you’re given a sandwich, and that sandwich came with a dill pickle sliver and these chips. Would you eat both? Chip Review tried them. (Spotted by Dustin at World Market.)

Super Sour Fruit Gushers

The flavors in this snack are Crabby Apple, Grumpy Grape, and Scary Cherry. Possible flavors for next year? Cantankerous Cantaloupe, Cranky Cranberry, Tetchy Tangerine, and Waspish Watermelon. (Spotted by Margaret at Kroger.)

I’m surprised there isn’t a Pumpkin Spice Tastykake Kandy Kakes…1, 2, 3, 4…waiting for someone to tell me that there is. (Spotted by Chris at Dollar General.)

Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Supreme Muffin Mix

I thought this wasn’t new, but I guess I’m just confusing it with either Krusteaz’s Pumpkin Spice Quick Bread Mix, Pumpkin Spice Baking Mix, Pumpkin Spice Pancake Mix, or Pumpkin Pie Bar Mix. (Spotted by Erin at Target.)

Limited Edition Starbucks Frappuccino Pumpkin Spice Chilled Coffee Drink

I can’t believe this is the first year there’s bottled Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino. These bottled drinks have been around for years. Unless, it came out last year. If that’s the case, I can’t believe this is just the second year there’s bottled Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino. Update: It’s a Costco exclusive. (Spotted by Rory at Costco.)
