Here are five recent fast food news bites:
The Burger King Big King is back! Oh, the memories I have with the Big King. In the mid-90s, I received an angry letter from McDonald’s after writing a review about the Big King for my school newspaper. Yeah, it’s a long story. (via Grub Grade)
Baskin-Robbins Flavor of the Month is Gingerbread Junction, a flavor I wanna be munchin’ after a function, unless the freezers at my local Baskin-Robbins happen to malfunction. (via Baskin-Robbins)
Another month, another way Dunkin’ Donuts has combined meat, cheese, egg, and bread. But this time it’s a little spicy. (via PR Newswire)
Speaking of spicy, Subway now offers a creamy sriracha sauce to help mask the flavor of their sandwiches. (via PR Newswire)
Get ready for Dunkin’ Donuts’ Red Velvet Latte. I’m not sure how one would get ready for that, but might I suggest painting your body red or purchasing a red velvet suit. (via The Consumerist)
Get your cookies, fruit, bread, crackers, waffles, pancakes, cookies, spoons, fingers, and other body parts ready for Hershey’s Spreads. By the way, there’s also a Chocolate with Hazelnut variety. (Spotted by Joshua at Walmart.)

Purchased Price: $4.99
Size: N/A
Purchased at: Costco
Rating: 6 out of 10
Pros: Lots of tender beef brisket. Hefty, filling sandwich. BBQ sauce has a pleasing peppery flavor. A surprisingly clean sandwich to eat thanks to the bun which doesn’t disintegrate and the lack of BBQ sauce. Buying toilet paper and frozen chicken at Costco. Don’t need to be a Costco member to buy it.
Cons: For 50 cents less, one can get three $1.50 Costco hot dog & drink meals. At times, the beef brisket tastes like beef jerky. Coleslaw could’ve been tangier and have more flavor. Could’ve used a bit more BBQ sauce. People blocking aisles at Costco just so they can get a sample of something.

Ryan at Grub Grade tells me Jack’s Blazin’ Chicken Sandwich, which is being tested in limited markets, has Ghost Peppers, which is one of the hottest chili peppers in the world. Someday, I hope this sandwich burns my taste buds and makes me cry like a little boy who dropped his ice cream cone. (Spotted by Steve.)
