Burger King’s hoagie sesame seed bun has been used with a lot of new menu items over the past year.
Last month, it was the Extra Long Cheeseburger, and last year it was used with the Yumbo and Extra Long BBQ Cheeseburger.
The latest menu item to use the hoagie sesame seed bun is the Teriyaki Original Chicken Sandwich. It’s got everything you’d find with a Burger King Original Chicken Sandwich — a long breaded white meat chicken patty, chopped lettuce, mayonnaise, and toasted hoagie sesame seed bun — but it also comes with tomatoes and a teriyaki sauce. According to the Burger King website, the teriyaki sauce is sweet and savory with a hint of ginger.
The Teriyaki Original Chicken Sandwich has 580 calories, 26 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 1290 milligrams of sodium, 61 grams of carbohydrates, 14 grams of sugar, and 29 grams of protein.

Although it wasn’t sold on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a bag of Dulce de Leche Caramel M&M’s. A co-worker brought back several bags after a family trip to Southern California. And because I tend to kiss the butts of everyone I work with, she gave me one.
According to this AdAge article, Dulce de Leche Caramel M&M’s was marketed at Hispanics and introduced in August 2001, but only in five markets, which included Los Angeles, Miami, and San Antonio. The chocolate and caramel inside the candy shell were swirled, which seems odd since I don’t know of anyone who consumes M&M’s by biting them in half and looking at the chocolate.
I can’t remember if I liked them or loved them. But I’m guessing I loved them because I kept the wrapper, which is in the photo above. I mean, what kind of person would keep a wrapper of something they just like?
Sadly, Dulce de Leche Caramel M&M’s were on shelves for only a year because the product didn’t create a large enough following. But perhaps it was just ahead of its time. Dulce de leche is a common flavor now. There’s been dulce de leche Cheerios, Chips Ahoy cookies, Milano cookies, and hand wash.
Would you like Dulce de Leche Caramel M&M’s to make a comeback?
Yup. Limited edition beans. (Spotted by Brad at Target.)
