This flavor isn’t listed on the Dreyer’s or Edy’s website. Is it the black sheep flavor? (Spotted by Sophie at Walmart.)

I wish soup boxes could be heated up in a microwave oven and came with a large juice box-type opening that I could stick one of those bubble tea straws in so I could suck the soup through it. (Spotted by Erin at Wegmans.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: Burger King Bacon Cheddar Tendercrisp Sandwich

Burger King Bacon Cheddar Tendercrisp

I thought Burger King’s new Bacon Cheddar Tendercrisp Sandwich sounded familiar. But I confused it with 2005’s Burger King Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch, which had a commercial with a catchy jingle sung by country singer Darius Rucker. Don’t click the link, unless you want that song stuck in your head all day.

The Bacon Cheddar Tendercrisp features breaded white meat chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, a slice of American cheese, and a cheddar sauce on a brioche-style bun.

The sandwich has 740 calories, 47 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 105 milligrams of cholesterol, 1770 milligrams of sodium, 49 grams of carbohydrates, 7 grams of sugar, and 33 grams of protein.

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