Burger King is testing new cups that will revolutionize fast-food packaging Burger KingBurger King is testing new cups that might revolutionize the standard for fast food packaging, and avoid some important environmental risks. When it comes to recycling materials in an effective manner, fast food packaging can be quite a challenge. This is because most fast food cups have been covered in a waxy coating to prevent the liquid from soaking through the paper. This is the reason why a catering company located in Finland is looking at alternatives that would allow fast-food cups to be recycled just like regular plastic. According to Renewable Carbon News, Restel is currently using Sulapac material for cups in two Burger King outlets, allowing customers to return them after they’re done using them at designated restaurants. Surprisingly, these special cups can be reused up to 200 times before they’re deemed inefficient. “All our materials can be digested by naturally occurring microbes. Hence, Sulapac materials do not accumulate in the food chain, unlike conventional plastic,” said Sulapac’s head of product, Heidi Peltola. This means that the material can be industrially composted, breaking down naturally without the risk of microplastics. Anna Koskinen, Restel’s sustainability and communications manager, noted: “By collaborating with Sulapac we can mitigate the negative climate and environmental impacts related to single-use and oil-based plastic while advancing the circular bioeconomy.” This new venture will undergo a two-month trial period at select Burger King restaurants before being fully rolled out. Whether or not it might make it to larger markets in the US and UK still remains unknown. Burger King is also making big changes to its menus, as well as its packaging. In June, the chain announced that it was trialing all new flame-grilled chicken sandwiches.

Burger King giving $1 million away to best new Whopper Burger KingBurger King announced that they’ll be giving away a hefty $1 million to the fan who can create the best new Whopper. Here are the details. How many times have you dreamed of creating the perfect burger, with the combination of all of your favorite ingredients, wishing that your favorite fast food restaurant could make this come true? Well, that dream could be a reality, as Burger King are giving away a colossal $1m to the fan who can come up with the best new Whopper combination. A spokesperson revealed that they want to “Put the sandwich in the hands (and creativity) of its guests.” “Calling all flame-grilled fanatics, culinary creators, and A.I. aficionados – Burger King, the home of the flame-grilled Whopper sandwich, has a million-dollar question for you: how would you top your Whopper? “The flame-grilled Whopper currently offers more than 200,000 possible customized combinations, but if you’ve ever wanted to top the flavorful burger with savory sensations or sweet and sour showstoppers, then your moment to shine has officially arrived,” they continue. How do I enter the Whopper creation competition? If people want to get in on the action, and try their hand at inventing the best new Whopper, all they need to do is visit the Burger King website and enter in their details. They will then be given a series of prompts, where they will customize their Whopper, with up to eight total toppings. Contestants must have a Royal Perks account in order to contend. After this, three will make it to the final, and invited to Miami, where they will be given “the opportunity to refine their concepts before they appear on menus nationwide for a limited time later this year.” The competition will run until March 17, 2024.

Burger King customers consider career change after employee reveals wage X: Burger KingBurger King customers are considering a career change after a worker revealed how much they earn per hour. Burger King, or as it is known in Australia, Hungry Jack’s, is a popular fast food chain located across the world. And while the idea of working in a busy fast food environment, surrounded by food and heat, may not seem appealing to many, customers are now considering handing in their resumes after discovering how much money Hungry Jack’s workers make down under. Get Ahead, a company that focuses on helping people find the perfect job, has developed a major following on TikTok. In large part due to a video series they created in which they ask people on the street to reveal their wages in an effort to make salaries more transparent across all workforces. A recent TikTok released via the account garnering major attention from viewers all across the world after a Hungry Jack’s worker revealed he makes $32 AUD per hour. When converted, this equates to $21 USD an hour, a figure that many have found surprisingly high for a fast food job. As well as this, the Hungry Jack’s worker also revealed that their goal is to work their way up to a managerial position at the fast food restaurant. Stating that part of the incentive to do so is the $100,000 to $120,000 AUD paycheck. This full-time wage converts to just under $80,000 USD. One Tikoker added, “I was a draftsman manager with 15 years experience on $30 and you’re saying I can just go to Hungry Jack’s and get $32?” Another user highlighted just how much the wages for the restaurant chain have improved in recent years, revealing that they only made “$5 an hour” when they previously worked at a Hungry Jack’s in Australia. Furthermore, others noted just how different the pay is for Hungry Jack’s workers in Australia in comparison to those who work at the American equivalent, Burger King. “Yanks are crying,” wrote a third TikTok user.

Burger King employee who went viral for ‘goodie bag’ buys first home with donations TikTok: @thekeep777The viral Burger King employee who became an internet sensation with his ‘goodie bag’ reward is making headlines again. A January 2023, a Burger King employee named Kevin Ford went viral after he shared what he’d received from the popular chain after working there for over 27 years, without any days off. However, instead of a pay rise or promotion in lieu of his hard work, Kevin received a goodie bag that contained a movie ticket, a bag of Reese’s Pieces, a Starbucks Tumbler, a lanyard, two pens, keychains, two packs of Lifesavers, and nothing more. This caused a viral outrage, with people calling for justice. Viral Burger King employee buys first house with GoFundMe donations As a result of Kevin’s internet fame, his daughter decided that it was a good idea to set up a GoFundMe page so that people could show their love. The initial goal was only 200 dollars, but Kevin accumulated a staggering $452,375. This meant that he was able to buy a new home. After the post was shared by ABC news, people were overjoyed to hear that Kevin was celebrating a new milestone: “How embarrassing for the business owner. They should be ashamed of themselves. I’m happy to see that this man was rewarded by others.” “The fact that the employer gave such junk shows how much they appreciate their employees… glad he went viral! Well deserved,” another wrote. There were a few naysayers however, who weren’t too happy about Kevin’s success, writing: “So we giving awards to grown men sandbagging themselves to make others feel sorry? He could’ve had multiple homes if he swung a hammer since 18.” Kevin isn’t the first fast food worker who shot to viral fame. In December, former Walmart employee Gail Lewis’ vest sold for over 10K.

Buffalo Wild Wings server fired after exposing man who dined & dashed TikTok: braysriotA Buffalo Wild Wings server was fired after she exposed a man for stealing from the restaurant. TikToker Braylee was recently fired from Buffalo Wild Wings after she exposed a man for dining and dashing in a viral video. What’s more, before Braylee was fired, she had to pay out of pocket for what the man stole. Fortunately, Braylee was able to take home his leftovers, rightfully so — but was it worth it? BWW customer gives server “fake” credit card In January, Braylee was serving a single male at BWW. After he ordered 66 wings, the man handed Braylee a card to pay. However, he snuck out of the restaurant before anyone could realize that he had given her a “fake” card with no money on it. Braylee then had to pay for his meal. Outraged, Braylee said in her now-viral TikTok that she would expose him to his loved ones, which she did on social media. Months after BWW caught wind of everything she said about the customer on TikTok, Braylee was “terminated” from her job. During the conversation she had with BWW management, they told her, “It’s become very apparent that our morals, values, beliefs… aren’t really aligned. So for that reason, you are terminated today.” Braylee then asked her former boss, “As far as someone who stole from the company, what’s being done with that?” However, they had no answer. Braylee also called out BWW for considering the dine and dasher a “guest” after he stole from them. Viewers of Braylee’s viral story have since reacted by taking to her side, saying that BWW was in the wrong. Many viewers also threatened to show up to their local BWW restaurant to dine and dash after hearing that they take stealing lightly. Though Braylee was fired from Buffalo Wild Wings, she did not confirm if she’d be taking the matter to corporate.

Bojangles’ “amazing” limited-edition dessert is a must-try TikTok: @kaylinninoBojangles have just brought out a new sweet treat for customers to try, and it has the whole of TikTok salivating. Bojangles are returning to their Southern roots, bringing out a classic Peach Cobbler dessert featuring homemade buttermilk biscuit dough, baked and covered with sweet peaches, then finished with icing and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. The new menu release has become something of a trend on TikTok, with people racing to their cars and heading over to the nearest Bojangles store to grab one. One of these videos comes from TikToker Kailyn Nino, who started out the video by removing the dessert from the Bojangles bag, and saying “Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering.” “Smells like a homemade peach cobbler,” she said, before putting a spoonful in her mouth. “So flavorful and moist she said,” comparing it to one her mom used to make when she was growing up. Another family went to try the new treat themselves, but weren’t quite as impressed by the flavor. Though they enjoyed it, they ultimately rated it a “6/10,” saying that it tasted quite lemon-ey. People in the comments section seemed enthralled by the new product however, and said “Yes, it’s so good and I work there.” “Omg I love Bojangle’s sweet potato pie too, I can’t wait to try,” another wrote. Bojangles are currently selling the new dessert for $1.99, and it will run for a limited time nationwide while supplies last. Bojangles isn’t the only fast food chain that’s bringing new sweet snacks to menus. Krispy Kreme announced that they were bringing out a whole new doughnut line inspired by French delicacies.

Bizarre restaurant where customers pay to get slapped goes super viral X/Twitter: @PuroresuFlowA restaurant has gone viral when a video surfaced of customer’s getting slapped in the face by waitresses after paying them. In an eatery called Shachihoko-ya in Nagoya, Japan, customers can pay waitresses in the establishment to slap them in the face. Though this is not what many of us would consider a luxurious dining experience, people lined up for the opportunity to be hit by their servers. For the fee of 300 yen (£1.62, $2.04), customers are slapped repeatedly by the waitresses with a great degree of force. There is a condition, however, as the slapper must be female. If customers want to choose a specific waitress at the establishment, then they’re required to pay an additional fee of 200 yen. Customer knocked out of his chair after being slapped In the video posted on X/Twitter, we see clips of various people being slapped in succession. The blows aren’t light either, as they hit the customers, sometimes with the back of their hands. In the video, a man is wheeled out before the waitresses, who all take turns in hitting him across the face. Some of the diners in the establishment were even hit so hard that they were thrown from their seats. After the video was posted on the platform, people had plenty to say about the bizarre ritual. One joked: “I’m pretty sure some of those girls don’t even work there and just got in line.” “A restaurant in Japan serving up the ‘Nagoya Lady’s Slap’ for just 300 yen? Well, that’s one way to add some flavor to your meal. It’s like dining with a side of unexpected theatrics. Can’t decide if it’s a culinary masterpiece or a bold move in the world of menu surprises.” Many stated that they got a headache simply from watching the video in question. Apparently, the restaurant was first established in 2012, but struggled to keep afloat. However, with the invention of this bizarre new slapping ritual, custom eventually picked up, and now it’s a big hit with both locals and foreign customers.

Ramen company releases caffeinated flavours that gamers can eat while playing Boost NoodlesA Japanese company has just introduced an interesting concept designed specifically for gamers, and it involves two ingredients you’d never expect to be seen together. Nippon Ham is a Japanese brand that specializes in protein-based foods, including fresh meat as well as processed goods. Now, they’ve brought out an unusual concept that involves combining ramen noodles with caffeine. It’s a Taipa-style ramen that was created by a professional gamer who wanted to eat ramen while playing. Officially called Boost Noodles, the product comes in a 16mm pouch and cut noodles, as well as roast pork and bamboo shoots mixed with a jelly-like rich seafood and pork bone soup. The product is manufactured to meet a series of requirements posed by gamers to make its consumption as easy as possible. Nippon Ham explains: “(It meets the needs of) gamers who do not want to get their expensive and important gaming equipment dirty, want to eat easily with one hand while playing games, and want to eat something closer to a meal rather than a jelly drink or beverage.” This information might prove to be particularly prudent for gamers after a 2022 study found that 42% of professional gamers worry about their mental health, and so proper nutrition is key. Boost Noodles isn’t the first product to combine caffeine and noodles. Back in 2023, Nissin released its own version of caffeinated protein pots. Boost Noodles, however, are the first to release a variety that can be eaten with one hand. This is an important factor of the design, as the company stated: “With the recent spread of smartphones, there is an increasing demand for food that can be easily eaten with one hand.

15 best low-calorie fast food items: Wendy’s, McDonald’s and more CanvaThe best low-calorie fast food items don’t have to be boring salads. Here’s what you can enjoy whilst still keeping the calorie count low. This guide will help you pick the best low-calorie options at your favorite fast food places so that you can still enjoy eating out, even when you’re on a diet. There may be a few salads on this list if they are actually tasty, but there’ll be no boring mixed greens salads here. However, remember that a salad isn’t necessarily going to be the healthiest item on the menu. If you are ever in doubt, most display menus will feature the nutritional info for each item, and if the menu doesn’t, their website probably will. What are the best low-calorie fast food items? 15. Taco Bell: Power Menu Bowl – Veggie This meal is so filling and has so many tasty components that you’ll forget it’s even low-calorie. Often, going for the veggie option at fast-food places will make your meal instantly lower in calories, and this meal only has 510 kcals and over 20 grams of protein. 14. Chipotle: The Wholesome Bowl The only reason Chipotle is ranking higher here is because this bowl is slightly healthier with 460 kcals and Chipotle’s food is a lot tastier if you are looking for proper Tex-Mex flavors. This bowl does have 29 grams of fat but that mainly comes from healthy fat in the guac. This bowl is loaded with greens, salsa, and fajita veg too, so you’ll definitely get all of your five-a-day. 13. Pizza Hut: Veggie lover’s pizza with thin ‘n crispy crust If you’re looking for healthy food, you are probably best to steer well away from a pizza joint. However, if you are really craving some pie, this pizza is loaded with healthy veg, as well as the good stuff you crave on pizza (cheese). If you have just three slices of this pie, you’ll only be consuming 360 kcals, which is so good it feels like cheating. 12. Dunkin’: Veggie egg white sandwich This one is great because you can grab it while you’re doing the morning coffee run and don’t have to feel guilty about a fast-food breakfast. Even though you’ll have to avoid the donuts, this sandwich is tasty, fresh, and goes really well with hot sauce. It’s also only 290 kcals which is great for a sandwich on the go. 11. Sonic: Grilled chicken sandwich Now, we’re getting into the meat. “America’s Drive-in” has a menu loaded with burgers, fries, hot dogs, and ice cream, so it can be hard to find something healthy. However, their grilled chicken sandwich has got you covered. Consisting of a brioche bun, grilled chicken, lettuce, and mayo, this sandwich is a decent lunch for only 470 kcals. 10. Wendy’s: Apple pecan chicken salad Yes, it is a salad, but it’s really good. Loaded with apple slices, caramelized pecans, chicken, and a sweet dressing, this salad is packed full of ingredients to keep you fuller for longer. It’s also a pretty sophisticated meal that doesn’t even really feel like you’re eating fast food. It also only has 460 kcals for the whole thing. 9. Subway: Tuna melt Subway, Quizno’s, Jersey Mikes, or any other sandwich restaurant is definitely a good choice for a healthy meal as the dishes are always customizable and you can get a lot of veggies in there to keep you full. The tuna melt from Subway comes with melted cheese, tuna mayonnaise, and whatever salad you want. Be sure to order it on wheat bread to keep the calories low and go for a six-inch rather than a foot long. 8. Jack in the Box: Chicken fajita pita Only five items on the Jack in the Box menu fall into their “Better For You” category, but this wholegrain pita filled with lettuce, cheese, chargrilled chicken, and fajita vegetables is a great choice. It also comes with a side of fire-roasted salsa for dipping. The whole meal comes in at just 330 kcals. 7. Dairy Queen: Hamburger kids’ meal Okay, it may only be a kids’ size hamburger and a drink, but this smaller portion will satisfy your cravings for fast food, without causing you to go overboard with hundreds of calories. This meal has 350 kcals and comes with a banana on the side. Fun, right? 6. Burger King: Hamburger If you’re more of a Burger King fan though, their hamburgers by themselves have 290 kcals and no trans fats, which is pretty decent for a fast food burger. You will have to skip out on the fries though. Also, a plain hamburger from McDonald’s has virtually the same amount of calories. 5. Chick-fil-A: Sandwich Every sandwich at Chick-fil-A is under 500 kcals, as long as you don’t go for any of their deluxe options. Where you might accidentally go overboard on calories though, is sauce. If you want to keep it low-calorie, go for buffalo sauce at only 25kcals, all the other sauces are at least twice that. 4. Wendy’s: Crispy chicken BLT If you want a low-calorie fast food option, this is a pretty good choice that is surprisingly healthy. With fried chicken, cheese, bacon, mayo, bread, and a few veggies to boot, you might not think this is healthy; but it only has 420 kcals. 3. McDonald’s egg McMuffin Everyone knows that a hearty breakfast is the key to a balanced lifestyle, and this McMuffin has everything you need, carbs, protein, and fiber. Although it wouldn’t be great to have one every day, this breakfast item actually only has 310 kcals. 2. Five Guys: Lettuce wrap burger Although this is not advertised on their menu, the famous burger chain will replace your buns with two pieces of crunch iceberg lettuce so that your burger is reduced to virtually zero calories. You still get all the tastiness of a cheeseburger without the guilt. 1. Jack in the Box: Crunchy tacos Tacos are always a good idea, but you might not think you can have them when you’re on a diet. However, these only have 390 kcals and have 13g of protein. Also, they are loaded with beef chili, tomato, lettuce, and cheese and they only cost 99 cents for two. Check out more fast food lists: 15 best Starbucks frappuccinos according to an ex-barista | All 9 items on the McDonald’s dollar menu ranked | These are the fast food salads that are actually good | Best Starbucks iced coffee drinks | Best fast food breakfast deals ranked: McDonald’s, Wendy’s and more

Top 10 best Starbucks iced coffees, according to an ex-barista StarbucksAfter trying all of Starbucks’ iced drinks, there’s a clear set of winners as to which are the best iced coffees on offer at the popular chain. We get it: You walk into Starbucks for a reprieve from the blazing heat outside, browse the menu for food or drink, and find yourself overwhelmed at what to pick because of the sheer amount of choice (and seasonal beverages) available. That’s where we come in, as below, you’ll find a breakdown of our picks for the best iced coffee drinks currently available on Starbucks’ US menu — and how to best customize them. 10. Iced pumpkin spice latte Pumpkin spice is a drink that has divided a nation. Some people go crazy for it the minute the first leaf turns brown in the Fall, and some people hate it. If you’re a hater, have you tried it iced? The cold milk makes the spicy flavors a lot milder, making the drink even more delicious. How to customize: If you’re feeling really sweet, adding a couple of pumps of white mocha syrup makes for a pretty awesome addition — but don’t forget the whipped cream! 9. Iced chai tea latte Iced chai tea lattes are made with spiced chai syrup and don’t actually have any tea in them. They are sweet, spicy, and kind of taste like cinnamon. They also happen to be fairly low in calories. How to customize: Adding one or two shots of espresso to this spicy, cinnamony drink gives it a really nice hit. This is also known as a dirty chai and is technically off the secret menu at Starbucks, but pretty much any barista will know how to make it. 8. Iced latte You can’t talk about iced coffees without mentioning the OG. Shots of espresso teamed with iced milk make for a simple yet refreshing drink that hits the spot every time. How to customize: The classic iced latte is great on its own or can be fully customized by adding any milk, syrup, and toppings that you want. A popular favorite? An iced latte with blonde espresso, oat milk, and vanilla syrup. 7. Iced chocolate almond milk espresso This one is like chocolate milk for grown-ups. With non-dairy milk becoming more popular, Starbucks has started to incorporate it into its main menu, and the slightly nutty taste of the almond milk makes this drink taste slightly like Nutella. How to customize: Add hazelnut syrup to lean even more into that nutty flavor. 6. Double chocolate chip frappuccino Starbucks’ double chocolate chip frappuccino is a great iced coffee if you really want a treat. Made with coffee, milk, chocolate syrup, and chocolate chips, this is like a dessert in a cup. Who doesn’t love that? How to customize: If you want to make this drink dairy-free, you can opt for non-dairy milk and vegan whipped cream as the chocolate added in is already dairy-free. 5. Caramel coffee frappuccino Next, we have another frappuccino, and it’s probably the most common one on Starbucks’ menu. This drink is made with coffee, milk, and caramel syrup, topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle. How to customize: To customize this drink to make it a little healthier, you can opt for non-fat milk, sugar-free caramel syrup, and hold the whip/drizzle. 4. Iced brown sugar shaken espresso The iced brown sugar shaken espresso may be a bit of a mouthful to say, but it is delicious. Shots of blond espresso are shaken in a cocktail shaker with brown sugar syrup to make them nice and foamy. They are then poured over oat milk and ice to make for a highly caffeinated yet smooth beverage. How to customize: To customize this iced drink, swap out the brown sugar syrup for white mocha or any other syrup you’d like. 3. Iced caramel macchiato Iced caramel macchiatos are a thing of beauty. You can order these hot too, but having them iced means that the caramel drizzle that gets put on the top of the drink sinks into the milk so you get mouthfuls of gooey caramel straight up your straw. How to customize: The drink is made with vanilla syrup in the bottom too, but if you want it extra sweet, swap out that vanilla for caramel syrup. 2. Iced white mocha Iced white mochas are another drink that traditionally comes hot, but the cold milk means that the white chocolate syrup doesn’t melt into your drink, instead sitting at the bottom of your drink and making the flavor stronger. How to customize: If you want the drink to be smoother though, ask for it to be shaken before it’s served. 1. Cold brew – the best iced coffee Starbucks’ cold brew is arguably the best iced coffee drink that they make because, well, it’s the strongest. And isn’t that what you want out of your coffee after all? This coffee is brewed for 18 hours in cold water, making it smooth and highly caffeinated. How to customize: You can drink this stuff black, or you can add different kinds of milk and syrups to make your own custom drink. Get creative. How to save money with iced coffee at Starbucks One of the great things about Starbucks is its lengthy menu that can be customized and added to as you please. However, each shot of espresso, type of syrup, and topping costs at least 50 cents each. This can get pretty expensive if you start adding lots of flavors. There is a way to get around this though. If you sign up for Starbucks Rewards and pay for your drinks through the app (or scan the barcode every time you make a purchase) you’ll collect stars. Every dollar spent equals two stars, and once you collect 300 stars, you’ll become a “Starbucks gold member” which means that you’ll get any and all additions to your drink completely for free. On top of this, those who use Starbucks Rewards get a free drink of any size every time they collect 150 stars. If you want to create your own coffee concoctions, the Starbucks Rewards system is the way to go.

Best fast food value meal: Which chain is winning the trend? McDonald’sWith the current inflation in the fast food industry, a lot of the big-name restaurants have been racing to win back their customers with the best fast food value meals. It started with Burger King and McDonald’s rumoring a $5 value meal back in April 2024, but now, other bigwigs like Starbucks, Taco Bell, and Sonic have joined the race. But, who takes the gold medal for the best value fast food meal? Let’s dive in and find out. Best fast food value menus ranked In this ranking, we’ll be looking at price, of course, however, the lowest price meal won’t necessarily make the top spot. We’ll also be looking at value for money, as well as the range of menu items available at the advertised discounted price. 9. Starbucks’ Pairings Menu Starbucks is one of the latest chains to launch their value meal, and they’re offering a $5 ‘Pairings Menu’ that allows customers to order tall coffee or tea paired with a butter croissant for $5, or a tall coffee or tea paired with a breakfast sandwich for $6. Usually, a tall latte would cost you $2.95, and a standard breakfast sandwich like the bacon, gouda, and egg will cost you $5.95. At around $9 separately, the menu is certainly saving money and there are a lot of options to choose from. However, the downfall of this menu deal is that it is only set to last throughout the summer and there isn’t a huge amount of choice food-wise, so don’t get too used to those savings. If you want to save money on your caffeine fix on a more long-term basis, find out how you can become a Starbucks Gold Member. Rating: 6/10 8. Taco Bell’s Luxe Cravings Box Taco Bell gets mega-points here for the portion size on their value box. This meal comes with a choice of several large-sized menu items, including a Chalupa Supreme, Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, Double Stacked Taco, chips, and nacho cheese sauce, along with a medium fountain drink. Taco Bell has given its fans a value menu that exceeds expectations, the portions are huge, there are several items in each box, and there’s no suggested end date for the deal. The only downfall here is that the box costs $7, so it is the most expensive value meal of all of them. Rating: 7/10 7. Jack in the Box $4 Munchies menu ‘Jack’s Munchies Under $4’ menu features 13 items, making it more extensive than most, and includes sandwiches, tacos, sides, and even something sweet. Jack in the Box is truly a jack of all trades, and they serve burgers, tacos, and chicken, all of which can be sampled on the new munchies menu. On top of this, the menu has been declared a permanent feature, making it a reliable option amid the rising rate of prices. Jack in the Box have also released a $5 value meal of their own. Each Jack’s $5 Big Deal Meal includes your choice of a Jr. Jumbo Jack Cheeseburger or Jr. Chicken Sandwich, plus a taco, curly fries, and a value-sized drink, all for just 5 bucks. Rating: 7/10 6. Pizza Hut ‘My Hut Box’ Pizza Hut is targeting the lunchtime cravings with their My Hut box. They are the only pizza chain that has announced a value meal this summer. The meal includes: Two-topping Personal Pan Pizza served with either four boneless wings or a choice of fries. – Pizza Hut Melt paired with a choice of fries or four boneless wings, plus a side of marinara sauce for dipping. – Half Melt and four boneless wings or a choice of fries, served with marinara sauce for dipping. – You can also opt to add a 20-ounce beverage of your choice for an extra charge of $1.50. This meal starts at $6.99, again, putting it on the pricier end for value meals, but you are getting a pizza and sides. Rating: 8/10 5. Wendy’s $3 Breakfast Deal Saving money before you even reach the office in the morning? That’s guaranteed to put you in a good mood. This promotion has been around since May 20 and looks to be a long-running menu feature. You can get one small seasoned potatoes and a choice of either a bacon, egg, and cheese English muffin or a sausage, egg, and cheese English muffin. No coffee in this one like Starbucks, but it is half the price. This is definitely the best fast food value meal that you can snag before 9am. Rating: 8/10 4. Burger King $5 ‘Your Way’ Meal This meal deal was discontinued in 2023 but has been back since June 2024. You get an entrée, two sides, and a soft drink, all for $5. Here are the burger options: Whopper Jr. – The Whopper Jr. is a classic, smaller-sized version of their famous burger. It contains a flame-grilled beef patty with tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, and sliced white onions on a toasted sesame seed bun. – Bacon Cheeseburger – This one is made with the chain’s classic flame-grilled beef patty, layered with crispy bacon, American cheese, pickles, yellow mustard, and ketchup on a toasted sesame seed bun. – Chicken Jr. – The Chicken Jr. features a crispy chicken patty with chopped lettuce, and creamy mayonnaise packed on a toasted sesame seed bun. – In terms of sides, customers will be able to grab a portion of french fries, as well as a 6-piece nugget pack to accompany their main. Burger King’s meal was the hottest competitor of McDonald’s due to the similarity of the menu choice, but Burger King missed out on the top spot, only because their prices weren’t too high to begin with. Rating: 8/10 3. Popeye’s Big Box Popeye’s Big Box is on the pricier end of the scale, however, you’re getting a lot of good food for only $6.99. The meal consists of two pieces of fried chicken (spicy or mild) or three chicken tenders, two regular sides, and a biscuit. So it is a significantly heftier portion than other chains offering a burger and a portion of fries. This meal has been intermittently available for the past few years, but after people in California claimed they were paying $42 for 16 chicken tenders, this value meal is a welcome arrival. Rating: 9/10 2. Sonic’s ‘Fun.99’ Menu Sonic is the latest to launch its value menu, and they get the crown for the lowest price. This new permanent menu features several items all priced at $1.99. Here’s what’s up for grabs: All-new Sonic Queso Wraps – Quarter Pound Double Cheeseburger – Chili Cheese Coney – Small Tots – 16 oz SONIC Shakes (available in 12 flavors) – Sonic may have joined the race late, but they are killing it with these menu options, especially the 16oz milkshake in any flavor. Rating: 9/10 1. McDonald’s $5 value meal The price surges at McDonald’s are what kicked off the whole debate about fast food prices. In fact, there was so much of an uproar over the Big Mac costing $18 at some locations, that McDonald’s CEO responded and promised a low-cost meal. McDonald’s value meal is very similar to Burger King’s. Customers can opt for a McDouble or McChicken, small fries, four-piece Chicken McNuggets, and a small drink, all for the price of $5. Although McDonald’s value menu only offers two main options and a small portion of fries, they get the crown for best fast food value meal because they answered their customers’ outcries for a value meal when, realistically, they could have ignored them and still continued to run a booming business. As the most iconic fast food chain, customers would have kept coming back regardless, but McDonald’s has shown that they listen to their fans. We’ve also made a definitive ranking of the best fast food chains in the US if you want to see how your favorites stack up.

Top 15 best fast food items around: A definitive ranking McDonald’s / Dairy Queen / Taco Bel / StarbucksFrom fries to Frostys to Big Macs, there are a lot of iconic fast food items that you need to try at least once in your life, and we’re here to officially tell you the best ones. We’re going to rank the top 10 best fast food items across any and all fast food chains. Hot or cold, sweet or savory, anything goes. Consider this your ultimate bucket list of US cuisine. The best fast food items in the US There are a lot of fast food items to choose from when you think about every item at every chain in the country, so we’ll only be focusing on permanent menu items that you can grab any time (sorry, McRib). 15. Five Guys Everything Cheeseburger Five Guys may be seen as pricey, but their burgers are worth every cent. The best thing about this quintessentially American chain is that their burgers come with as many free toppings as you’d like. From normal things like pickles and tomatoes to things that are a little more out there like fries and mushrooms, you have to try one of their burgers with every topping at least once in your life. What makes this a must-have? Variety is the spice of life, and this is one varied burger. 14. Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Donut These donuts are a thing of beauty. They’re soft, pillowy, and always fresh. On top of that, you get to see them going around on their little donut train getting their glaze on. Yes, of course, any donut is nice, but the Original Glazed from Krispy Kreme is an icon. What makes this a must-have? They keep things simple. 13. KFC Original Recipe Chicken There are a lot of fried chicken chains in the US, but everyone knows KFC chicken in a bucket is the OG. Made with the secret blend of their 11 herbs and spices, KFC’s original recipe chicken is succulent, crispy, and oh, so flavorful. Team it with a biscuit and some gravy. What makes this a must-have? The recipe is one of the country’s best-kept secrets. 12. Starbucks Pumpkin Spiced Latte Okay so there are a lot of mixed reviews about Pumpkin Spice, but with it being probably the most polarizing item on fast food menus, you have to try it. It’s a normal latte made with a bright orange syrup that doesn’t actually taste of pumpkins, but more of cinnamon and other spices. And, it comes topped with a generous helping of whipped cream. What makes this a must-have? You need to know whether you like it or not so you can join in on the PSL debate every year. 11. Wendy’s Frosty Whether you sip yours or dip your fries in – Wendy’s Frostys are the perfect accompaniment to a Baconator or fries. Frostys are like a very thick milkshake that is, sorry to say it, better than a McFlurry. Somewhere between a dessert and a beverage, Frostys come in classic flavors and are a US staple. What makes this a must-have? A Frosty means you don’t have to choose between a drink and a dessert. 10. Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme Taco Bell’s Crunchwrap Supreme comes in a beautiful beige hexagon filled with ground beef, sour cream, lettuce cheese, tomato salsa, and a circular tortilla chip disc that gives it its signature crunch. The crunch wrap can also be customized so you can have it your way. What makes this a must-have? This item is a fast food feat of ingenuity. 9. Dairy Queen Blizzard Dairy Queen is a totally underrated spot. Their Blizzards are amazing and can be customized into any flavor combination that you’d like. They are super thick too, which is why they are the only fast-food item on the market to be served upside down. What makes this a must-have? It’s a fast food miracle that defies gravity. 8. Burger King Whopper Burger King flame grills their burger patties, which is what makes their iconic Whopper so special. On top of that, as the name suggests, the Whopper is a pretty huge burger that you need to try if you haven’t already. It’s so good in fact, that we crowned the Whopper the best fast food burger of 2024. What makes this a must-have? This is one of the most iconic burgers out there. 7. Raising Cane’s Sauce If you have ever spent any time on TikTok, you’ll know that people go wild for Raising Cane’s fried chicken, Texas toast, and pink Cane’s sauce. This sauce comes in a large fountain drink cup, so you can literally drink it. What makes this a must-have? This new kid on the block is making serious waves, so dive in. 6. Chipotle Burrito Bowl Chipotle has been coming under fire in 2024 for its portion sizes. However, Chipotle’s food is probably the freshest and healthiest on the fast food market. On top of that, their flavors are authentic and the bowls are fully customizable, making them an iconic staple. What makes this a must-have? The ingredients are the freshest out there and you won’t find Chipotle’s flavors anywhere else. 5. Chick-fil-A Waffle Fries Chick-fil-A’s chicken is good, but real fans know that the waffle fries are the shining star of the menu. Get a portion of these bad boys, dip them in some Chick-fil-A sauce (it would be a crime not to) and enjoy the crispy goodness. What makes this a must-have? They’re crispy, fluffy, and full of flavor. 4. McDonald’s Big Mac Okay, unless you’ve been living under a rock (or you’re a vegan) you’ve probably tried a Big Mac from McDonald’s. They come with two meat patties, three buns, pickles, lettuce, cheese, and the all-important Big Mac sauce. What’s better than one burger? Two. This is probably the most well-known fast food item, but it’s not quite the best. What makes this a must-have? The Big Mac sauce recipe is a secret so you won’t find it anywhere else. 3. In-N-Out Animal Style Double Double To someone on the East Coast, this may sound like we’re talking another language, but if you have In-N-Out, you get it. The Double Double is their regular burger with all the toppings, and if you order any item on their menu “Animal Style” you’ll get the onion slice replaced with a dollop of sweet, darkly caramelized chopped onions, an extra stack of pickle chips underneath the tomato, and patties fried with mustard directly on the griddle. What makes this a must-have? It’s a cult classic that cannot be missed, it’s as simple as that. 2. Wingstop Wings Wingstop is the new kid on the block in the fast food world, but with their insanely good chicken wings that come in 11 flavors, they’re adding a real kick to the industry. Do yourself a favor and try yours with the hot honey rub. What makes this a must-have? The vibes in the restaurants are immaculate, the wings are great, and the drinks are unlimited. 1. McDonald’s Fries The OG had to get our number one spot. McDonald’s fries are a staple item of US culture. There are other fries out there, but none of them have that perfect balance of saltiness, crispiness, and that soft potato center. What makes this a must-have? These fries are so integral to US culture that they could run for President. Has list made you hungry? Check out our ranking of the best fast food chains in 2024 so you can decide on where to go for your next meal.

These are the fast food salads that are actually good “The best fast food salads” may sound like an oxymoron, but some of those drive-thrus serve up some awesome healthier options. After trying pretty much all the fast-food salads out there, these are the top 12 that are actually tasty. The best fast-food salads are ranked based on their flavor, as well as how healthy they are, because believe it or not, even salads can have pesky hidden calories. What are the best fast food salads? 12. Dairy Queen: Crispy chicken strips salad This salad is just okay, which is why it’s in 12th position. The crispy coating on the chicken almost gives it a crouton-esque texture and crispy bacon is always good. The salad’s downfall is the limp iceberg lettuce, watery tomatoes, and shredded cheese that clearly isn’t destined to be eaten cold in a salad. Calorie count: 470 kcal, which is fairly low compared to some others on this list. 11. Jack In The Box: Club salad Jack In The Box’s club salad comes with either grilled or crispy chicken but is pretty standard when it comes to fast food salads. However, there are a few things that make it better than a Dairy Queen salad. You get whole grape tomatoes, as well as some sliced cucumber to add to the actual “green” elements of the salad. Plus, this one comes with croutons. Calorie count: 365 kcal, pretty decent. 10. Anything from Subway Subway salads are great because of how customizable they are. You can pick your protein, cheese, any type of veggies, as well as your dressing. You know what that means? Endless salad combos. A good recommendation? The tuna salad with extra cucumber and sweet onion dressing. Calorie count: This varies, but between 300-350 kcals. 9. Chick-Fil-A: Market salad This salad isn’t for everyone, but it’s on the list because it’s a bit different and has a higher fruit and veggie count which most fast-food places could only dream of. Their market salad has strawberries, blueberries, and two kinds of apples. And as if that wasn’t sweet enough, this salad is topped with a sweet and salty granola and an apple cider vinaigrette that leans on the sweet side, so if you don’t like sweet salads, maybe skip this one out. Calorie count: 330 kcals, but the sugar count is on the high side. 8. Wendy’s: Taco salad All the components here are good: Crispy lettuce, crunchy tortilla chips, a dollop of sour cream, and of course their iconic chili. The only problem is that trying to call this a “salad” is a little far-fetched. The tortilla chips are too chunky to eat with a fork, and aside from the minimal lettuce, there are no salad elements to it. Calorie count: 660 kcal. What did you expect from a salad with chips in it? 7. Wendy’s: Apple pecan salad This salad is great because it provides some higher-end ingredients that you wouldn’t expect from a typical fast-food salad. Also, it can be hard to make salads exciting, so the sweet additions of apples, pecans, and a sweet vinaigrette in this one make it delicious. Also, the hefty portion of chicken means you’ll be full all day. Calorie count: 450 kcals. 6. Panera: Citrus Asian crunch salad with chicken Although Panera is known for its salads and sandwiches, it is still technically a fast food joint. They may have a longer list of salads than McDonald’s, but the best one is definitely the citrus Asian crunch salad. The orange and teriyaki flavored chicken, along with the fragrant dressing and a nice pop of pink from the pickled onions, this salad doesn’t just taste good but also looks good on your social media. Calorie count: 310 kcal 5. Quizno’s: Classic Italian salad When you’re craving something fresh, you’re better off going to Quizno’s over many other fast food spots. This salad seems to have some thought behind it, and with olives and different types of peppers, you could definitely see yourself eating this at a proper sit-down restaurant in Italy. On top of that, it’s huge so definitely filling. Calorie count: 350 kcals 4. Taco Bell: Veggie power menu bowl This salad is great because it has a seasoned rice and lettuce base, which adds a bit more bulk to your typical salad. You’ll also find lettuce, black beans, tomatoes, guacamole, cheese, sour cream, and an avocado ranch sauce in the bowl, with the option to add on a wide variety of other ingredients. Try adding chicken for more protein or onions for some extra flavor. Calorie count: 430 kcal, as it comes. 3. Chick-Fil-A: Spicy southwest salad This salad really goes the extra mile with its toppings. There are black beans, grape tomatoes, cheddar, crispy tortilla strips, poblano, and red bell peppers, and you can’t forget about the chili lime pumpkin seeds. The only thing is that the creamy salsa dressing is a little odd, so the avocado ranch dressing may be a better choice. Still a great fast food salad, though. Calorie count: 680 calories, but worth every one. 2. Boston Market: Chicken Caesar salad Caesar salads are one of the world’s most iconic salads. They are fresh and crunchy, and that creamy dressing is the best. But unfortunately, it’s not on most fast food restaurants’ menus. However, Boston Market is an exception. If you’re looking for a quick Caesar salad on the go, the chain’s Chicken Caesar Salad is certainly an option. Calorie count: 770 kcals. However, Caesar salads are typically high in calories, even if they aren’t from a fast-food place. 1. Chick-fil-A: Cobb salad This is hands down the best fast-food salad. Aside from the fact a Cobb salad is pretty elite due to its bulkiness and wide range of ingredients, Chick-fil-A’s Cobb hits all the targets. Your protein options are almost endless: nuggets, filet, spicy, mild, crispy, grilled, and even cauliflower. You can also find the usual suspects in a Cobb, but there’s also roasted corn, charred tomato, crispy red peppers, and Monterey Jack cheese. Top it off with their avocado lime ranch, and you’re in salad heaven. Calorie count: 830 kcals. Still not as bad as a burger and fries. Are fast food salads healthy? There is no hard and fast rule here, if you are on a calorie deficit or just trying to eat more healthily, the best option at any drive-thru or fast food joint is not necessarily going to be a salad. For example, if you’re at Wendy’s, the taco salad is more unhealthy than a nice portion of chili. The best way to navigate this challenge is by checking the calories before you go somewhere so you can always know exactly what you are eating. It might also be worth it to ask for dressings on the side too.

Best fast food in the US in 2024: A definitive ranking Dive in to a definitive ranking of the best fast food in America in 2024 and see if your favorite makes the top spot. Japan has sushi, Spain has tapas, and the US has fast food. As the staple food of the star-spangled banner, there are lots of fast food joints to choose from, but who comes out on top? Although there are many fast food chains that are state-specific, these won’t be included in the list unless they are well-known, like In-N-Out (sorry Biscuitville.) Best fast food, ranked As always, we’ll be ranking these from worst to best. Food quality, public opinion of the brand, and value for money are the perameters here, so let’s see how the big names rank. 50. Wienerschnitzel Wienerschnitzel gets a bad rep for it’s menu that centers around frankfurters, but you have to applaud them for their unique concept. That being said, their food is not for everyone. It is reasonably priced and the perfect fast food joint for an adventurous food. Must try: Junkyard Dog 49. Del Taco Del Taco also gives fast food fans bad vibes, but they have an extensive menu. With lots of choice, a value menu that is actually good value, and decently tasty tacos, we can confirm that Del Taco is not as bad as everyone says. Must try: Grilled chicken taco salad with fresh guac 48. Papa John’s Papa John’s has it’s place in this world. The pizza is great for a big eat, their sides are delicious and everything is reasonably priced. That being said, there are definitely better pizza chains out there. Must try: Jalapeño poppers 47. Moe’s Southwest Grill Moe’s does Tex Mex food that is healthy, and they use higher quality ingredients than most. But, for some reason, they fade into the crowd. With them being somewhere between a fast food joint and a chain restaurant, the price point is a little higher, but their menu is extensive and great for vegetarians. Must try: The Homewrecker burrito 46. Long John Silver’s Long John Silver’s is definitely your grandparents favorite fast food joint. With a seafood-focused menu, Long John Silver’s isn’t for everyone and their whole vibe is a little dated. That being said, if you’re a fan of seafood, the fish here is great quality, always crispy fried, and always delicious. Must try: Wild Alaskan pollock sandwich 45. Church’s Chicken It’s tough out there for chicken chains, and unfortunately, Church’s is kind of ‘mid’. Their meat is juicy and tender, but the seasoning on their batter leaves something to be desired. Must try: Original chicken sandwich 44. Quizno’s Due to the fully customizable aspect of most sub shop menus, everyone’s experience of them varies greatly. That being said, the whole vibe of a Quizno’s is kind of off – it could be the dated decor or the fact that everyone says their food isn’t good. However, their ingredients are still fresh(ish) and it’s not the most unhealthy fast food chain. Must try: Peppercorn steak sandwich 43. Subway Subway is marginally better than Quizno’s, not because of their subs, but because of their sides. Their cookies are awesome (and come in a footlong) and their nachos are pretty good, too. Subway also has great deals meaning you can get big sandwiches whilst on a tight budget. Must try: Footlong cookie 42. Domino’s Domino’s is greasy, filling, and full of calories – exactly what you want when you need a fast food binge. Their pizza would probably make an Italian faint, but it’s all-American and all-delicious. The only downside is the price point as it is kind of expensive. However, there is a hack for never paying full price for a pizza again. Must try: Buffalo chicken pizza 41. White Castle A white castle slider is a generally underwhelming experience when you consider the size of other fast food burgers. However, if you can get past the fact that they are tiny, their beef is good quality and the bread has a pillowy sweetness that is dreamy. Oh, and you can eat multiple sliders. Must try: Gooey butter cake-on-a-stick 40. Checkers/Rally’s Checkers/Rally’s, depending on where you are from, has the best fries in the biz. Okay, their burgers are nice, but the fries are what really stand out. They’re crispy, perfectly salted, and always hot. A frequently overrated snack. Must try: The fries 39. Sbarro Sbarro looks like it is going to become a fast food chain of the past with a lot of its branches closing, that being said, they are a true homage to New York pizza culture. When you don’t feel like a whole pie, you can grab a slice of NY-style pizza that is actually really good. Must try: Roman cheese slice 38. IHOP IHOP is an American institution, and it should be appreciated for what it is. It’s popular with tourists, and their outrageous pancake stacks would make a 10-year-old’s eyes pop out of their heads. On top of that, they do great family meals that can feed five people for under $40. Must try: Breakfast sampler 37. Smashburger Smashburger has a fully customizable menu, including daily burger deals for $4.50 – which is kind of a steal. Their food is great quality, with the beef being slightly bland. What does make up for it though is the fries, which are topped with rosemary, garlic, and salt. Must try: Smashfries 36. Panera Panera gets ridiculed a lot online, but no one can deny that the broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl is absolutely delicious. The other menu items can hit or miss, but their soup bowls are a staple food item. Must try: Broccoli cheddar soup bowl 35. Bojangles Bojangles comes highly recommended by popular YouTubers Rhett and Link. Since they hyped it up, lots of people have been flocking to the chicken joint for some classic fried chicken and accompanying sides. The sides are the real star here, particularly the biscuits. Must try: Mac & cheese or the biscuits. 34. Tim Horton’s This Canadian fast food chain is making it’s way around the US, and for good reason too. Not only do they do great donuts, but their lunch and breakfast options are also extensive. And if that wasn’t enough, they do great coffee, too. The prices are also very reasonable. Must try: Apple fritter donut 33. Little Caesars Little Caesars is the third-largest pizza chain in the world, and they do great deals on slices for pizza on a budget. That being said, this pizza is kind of in the same vein as Domino’s in that it’s definitely a ‘fast food’ pizza. That being said, it has its place. Must try: Meat treat pizza 32. Fuddruckers Fuddruckers burgers are good, but they are certainly don’t make the list of best burgers in the US. That being said, their topping bars are a pretty cool concept. You can put whatever you want on your burger, and they even have a nacho cheese dispenser. Must try: Burger with all the toppings 33. Culver’s This place is very popular with Wisconsinites, but it should be a favorite of every fast food fan once they’ve tried their burgers. Why? Because they butter the buns before they put the beef patties on, and the beef patties are farm-fresh. Must try: Original butterBurger 32. Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr. A lot of people on Reddit swear by this chain and say that it is better than McDonald’s. We don’t know about that, but their burgers are definitely bigger. Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr. has a classic feel that a lot of fast food chains don’t have nowadays, and is definitely a thing of nostalgia for a lot of people. Must try: Western bacon cheeseburger 31. Jimmy John’s If you want a quick, quality sandwich with basic ingredients, JJ’s is great. Nothing really special going on besides that, but the fast service is something we can all appreciate in the busy world. A completely unoffensive chain. Must try: The Beach Club 30. Cinnabon Cinnabon makes treats that would literally make your teeth hurt, and we love them for that. The cinnamon buns and shakes are a little expensive, but they retain the wholesomeness of a freshly baked treat. They know what they are all about and they do it well. Must try: Classic roll 29. A&W A&W have been serving root beer floats since the early 1900s, and we have to respect our elders. They make decent, classic American food at a reasonable price, and they should be commended for always remaining consistent. Must try: Root beer float 28. Whataburger Whataburger makes a great, basic burger. Their ingredients are always fresh, never frozen, and this is a wholly underrated chain. That being said, their menu is kind of all over the place with its theme, and some of the items are a miss. Must try: Honey butter chicken biscuit 27. Panda Express Panda Express is know for huge portions, and of course, the orange chicken. Although some of their menu items can be a bit of a miss, and their food isn’t always the freshest, it’s tasty Asian food that’s not your typical fast food joint. Must try: Hot orange chicken 26. Jersey Mike’s Another sub shop, but Jersey Mike’s is clearly the best. They have a real authentic deli vibe that the likes of Subway and Jersey John’s just don’t have. On top of that, they slice the meat and cheese in front of you and bake their bread fresh in-store every day, so everything feels fresher. Must try: The Club Sub 25. Steak N’ Shake Steak N’ Shake is the perfect place to go if you have a hankering for a high-end burger, but the budget of a value menu. Their burgers are made with pure steak and are perfectly seasoned and well priced. A truly underrated choice. Must try: White truffle prime steakburger 24. Waffle House Waffle House is always there when you need it. They open 24 hours a day and have the vibe of a local, cozy diner. The prices are great and their scrambled eggs are really tasty. They are exactly what you want a 2am. Must try: All-Star Special 23. Denny’s Another good breakfast joint that always seems to be open. Denny’s has been around for a long time and they get a rep for being a kind of depressing place to go for a meal. They do make good food, especially their pancakes, and their prices are great. Thei sandwiches are also awesome. Must try: The Grand Slamwich 22. Arby’s Speaking of sandwiches, Arby’s does a good old country-style meat sandwich, and they do it well. Their roast beef is always fresh, and you get a hefty amount. They also do awesome deals. They also just recently dropped a burger made with wagyu beef that is really top-notch. Must try: Arby’s classic beef ‘n’ cheddar 21. Krispy Kreme Krispy Kreme has been killing it with its promotions, and they are always releasing creative donuts to keep customers interested. Although they don’t serve much else than coffee and donuts, they do great coffee and you can see them making donuts fresh. Also, you can nearly see your reflection in those original glazed donuts. Must try: Original glazed donut 20. Sonic Drive-In Sonic has their staff on roller skates, which must be terrible for them but is a lot of dun for customers. Their food is good, but their shakes are better. On top of that, they just launched all-new groovy fries that come with a secret groovy sauce. America’s Drive-In is classic and authentic, but it’s not amazing when compared to other chains. Must try: Oreo cheesecake shake 19. Crumbl Crumbl only began in 2017, but since then has opened 918 stores across the US. They really are one of the most talked about food places at the minute, and for good reason. They are always releasing creative cookies delivered fresh to your door or picked up in-store, and they come in a cute pink box. What’s not to love? Must try: Snickerdoodle cupcake cookie 18. Buffalo Wild Wings Buffalo Wild Wings is known to be for sports fans, but B-Dubs is much more than that. With all-you-can-eat wings for $19.99, and a range of rubs and sauces for the chicken itself, this chain is really good. Must try: Original buffalo boneless wings 17. Wingstop Wingstop is a relatively new fast-food chain that has been making waves with foodies across the US and has recently branched out with worldwide stores. They have 14 sauces and rubs, and their chicken is great quality. The fries are also excellent. Must try: Hote honey rub 15. Jack in the Box Jack in the Box is a popular fast food spot for stoners, but their food does more than just satisfy the munchies. They have a great value menu for under $4 that was recently dropped, and they do everything from burgers to tiny tacos. They aren’t excellent at any one thing, but they’re pretty good at everything. Must try: Curly fries 16. KFC You can’t beat a bucket of fried chicken, and KFC knows how that’s done. Not only that, but they are constantly trying to rival other chains and recently dropped saucy nuggets, as well as quesadillas. Always bettering themselves, and always delicious. Must try: Popcorn chicken 15. Chick-fil-A Chick-fil-A is the modern foodie’s favorite fast food restaurant, and their classic menu items are pretty fire. That being said, their newest releases have kind of been missing the mark recently, and they recently changed the quality of their chicken. Let’s just hope that this OG doesn’t let their standards slip. 14. Shake Shack Shake Shack is kind of pricey, but their burgers are always restaurant quality, On top of that, their shakes that are made with frozen custard are next-level and the flavors are always inventive. A cool, modern approach to fast food. Must try: Shack stack burger 13. Starbucks Starbucks started off as a simple coffee chain, but with their ever-expanding food menu and drive-thrus popping up everywhere, they are in fast food territory. Their menu is a lot of fun and their salads and sandwiches are good, the only downside to this place is the price point, which can be very pricey. Must try: Caramel coffee frappuccino 12. Zaxby’s After recently dropping a meal box with Mr. Beast, Zaxby’s looks to be making big moves to become one of the nation’s most popular chicken restaurants. Their menu is pretty standard for a fried chicken place, but they are kind of overrated because the quality of their food is just so good for the price. Must try: Spicy signature sandwich 11. Taco Bell Taco Bell’s menu is always changing, and nobody can fault the Baja Blast. That being said, the reason they have just missed one of our top ten spots is due to the quality of their food. A lot of the menu items use the same four ingredients, and they always skimp on lettuce and cheese. Still, The Bell is an undisputed classic. Must try: Cantina chicken taco 10. Dairy Queen Dairy Queen is a totally underrated spot. Their Blizzards are amazing, the creations are endless, and they do a pretty great burger, too. Do not disrespect the Queen of fast food. Must try: Any Blizzard 9. Burger King The Whopper is one of the greatest fast food burgers of all time, and we recently crowned it the best fast food burger. That being said, the rest of the Burger King menu is only okay and the other burgers can be kind of hit or miss. We forgive them though, those flame-grilled patties are a thing of beauty. 8. Popeye’s Beyoncé’s favorite fast food chain is also highly commended in our books. Popeye’s chicken is coated with pure magic (and mystery spices), and is always juicy and crispy. They recently dropped a value meal too that can get you some fried chicken for a great price. Must try: Spicy chicken tenders 7. Dunkin’ Dunkin’ have been killing it recently with their menu drops, and this summer, they are set to release some s’mores items that will satisfy any sweet tooth. On top of that, Dunkin’ does some great coffee, and of course, great donuts. Must try: The hashbrowns 6. Chipotle Chipotle got into a little beef recently with food blogger Keith Lee, which led to people ‘exposing’ them for skimping on portion sizes. All of that aside though, Chipotle always uses fresh ingredients and is much higher quality than anything else out there. Must try: Chicken quesadilla 5. Wendy’s Wendy’s never misses the mark with that homestyle chili. And on top of that, they have great burgers, chicken, and pretty much anything else you could ask for. On top of that, they are giving away free fries every Friday for the rest of the year. Oh, and don’t even get us started on those delicious Frosties. 4. Raising Cane’s Raising Cane’s is the new kid on the block that is taking TikTok by storm, and for good reason too. Their chicken is crispy, their Texas toast is crispier, and you can get a large drinks cup of their addictive Cane’s sauce. Literally anything from this place is high-key amazing. Must try: A bucket of Cane’s sauce 3 McDonald’s The Golden Arches is the OG fast food chain, and for that, we commend them. They invented the Big Mac and fast food culture, and they are still one of the best. However, there are other chains doing more interesting things and serving up better quality burgers. That being said, McDonald’s is something everyone craves, and for good reason. Must try: Big Mac 2. Five Guys Five Guys makes those burgers right in front of you, and they’ll put any of their 8 toppings on top, completely for free. Yes okay, the burgers are a little pricey, but you get huge portions of authentic skin-on fries, and hearty, high quality burgers. Must try: Fries 1. In-N-Out Sorry to anyone not on the west coast, but In-N-Out is the best fast food chain out there. Everything is cooked fresh, nothing stays on a warmer and the fries are made fresh too right in the restaurant and are never frozen. Order your burger animal-style for a taste sensation. They also won the top spot on our best burger list. Must try: Double-Double animal-style If you’re still looking for more definitive rankings, check out our list of the best chicken nuggets and best burgers out there.

Best fast food breakfast deals ranked: McDonald’s, Wendy’s and more CanvaWho deserves your morning dollars? From Wendy’s to McDonald’s to Dunkin’, there are lots of breakfast deals out there, but the question is – Who has the best fast food breakfast? When ranking breakfast deals, it is important to look out for several things aside from whether the deal is cheap. Is the food actually tasty? Is it nutritious? Are there lots of menu options? Here are the top ten best fast food breakfast deals available in the US so that you can decide where to go to make those AMs easier. 10. Chick-fil-A: $4 chicken biscuit Chick-fil-A feel that chicken is an all-day thing, and at $4, you can’t deny that this is a good deal. On top of this, you can upgrade it to spicy chicken for only a quarter extra. While this is cheap, it’s tenth because not everyone wants chicken for breakfast. 9. Dunkin’: $3 medium cold brew Dunkin’ serves fast-food that is popular with many all-day long, and their bagels are a morning favorite. However, when it comes to breakfast deals, there isn’t as much to offer as other chains. Even on the app, all you will find is a $3 medium cold brew or Sparkd’ Energy and a donut that is $1 when you buy a coffee. By all means, continue your Dunkin’ runs if you’re a fan, but it definitely isn’t the best fast food breakfast if you’re looking for a big feed, it will satisfy your sweet tooth, though. 8. Panera: Unlimited sip club Panera’s beverage club is perfect for people who drink multiple coffees per day. With this subscription of $14.99 per month or $199 for an entire year, you can have as many drinks a day as you would like. This includes all teas, coffees, sodas, and lemonades and can be redeemed at any Panera store every two hours. Although this one isn’t exclusive to breakfast, it should certainly make those mornings easier. 7. Del Taco: $1.79 iced coffee and $1.59 donut bites Del Taco is famed for it’s extensive $2 value menu, however, only two of the things on there would be suitable for breakfast. That being said, it’s one food item and one drink which is a pretty decent meal for under $4 if you order both. You can get a regular iced coffee and a pack of cinnamon sugar donut bites without breaking the bank. These are also available all-day. 6. Bojangles: two for $5 ham biscuits This one is a pretty good deal that has some slight downsides. One being that Bojangles is a Southern chain, so may not be on your daily commute (check their locations here), if they are nearby, you’re in luck because you can get two of their fresh ham biscuits for $5, as well as a pimento cheese one for $2 and a Bo-Berry biscuit with fruit and icing for $1.49. The only other downside is that this is not as traditional of a breakfast selection as you will find at other chains. 5. Hardee’s: two for $5 mix and match breakfast Although this one is similar to the aforementioned Bojangles deal, the Hardee’s one is slightly better because you can mix and match the biscuit fillings and the flavors are a bit more tailored to breakfast time. You can choose two from a sausage and egg biscuit, biscuit and gravy, or a country fried steak biscuit, all for $5. 4. Burger King: $4 biscuit and medium hash browns Burger King has a decent offers selection on it’s website and app, and what’s better, they never forget to include breakfast in these. Although their deals change regularly, you can get great value for money on a variety of breakfast foods. There’s the breakfast biscuit sandwich along with medium hash browns for $4. There’s also $1.49 large hash browns, and a $10 small Croissan’wich meal for two. If you’re just looking for sandwiches, the two for $5 mix and match includes biscuits and Croissan’wiches. 3. Wendy’s: two for $3 breakfast biggie bundles Although Wendy’s scrapped it’s previously popular breakfast deal, they have a range of coupons available on the ‘Offers’ section of their app where you can find great deals. You can pick and choose two items for $3, and your options include the egg and cheese biscuit, sausage biscuit, small seasoned potatoes, and small hot coffee. You’ll also be able to grab a coupon for BOGO free breakfast Baconators and $1.49 large seasoned potatoes as well. 2. Taco Bell: $6 Bell Breakfast Box This one makes it to the second spot for it’s sheer size. Although this has gone up in price from $5, it’s still a steal. For only $6 you’ll get a breakfast sausage crunchwrap, two hashbrowns, two Cinnabon delights and a coffee/beverage. A breakfast of champions for less than $10? Amazing. 1. McDonald’s: BOGO for 50 cents breakfast sandwiches McDonald’s gets the top spot for it’s price and food quality. Although McDonald’s has admitted that they are losing customers due to rising prices, you can still find a good breakfast deal through their app. Go to the ‘Deals’ section and you’ll see that you can buy one breakfast sandwich and get another for 50 cents. Deals vary by location though, so if you live near several Golden Arches, definitely check out all the in-store deals. There you have it, the top ten best fast food breakfast deals from fast food chains that are ranked in order of flavor, menu diversity, and of course, value for money.

Best fast food burgers 2024: A complete ranking Sure, chicken nuggets and fries are important, but a food joint should really be measured by who has the best fast food burger. We’re talking hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and anything else with buns, beef patties and all the other usual suspects. Chicken won’t be listed here because, well, those are technically sandwiches. You also won’t find any limited edition or no longer available burgers: these are the standard burgers that are available all the time. Here’s how we rank them. Best fast food burgers 16. White Castle – 1921 slider White Castle’s sliders are like mini hamburgers, but unlike the classic slider that has a steamed patty with holes in it, this 1921 slider is a thicker, seared patty topped with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and caramelized onions. As a homage to their original slider, this one is flavorful, classic, and the bread is so pillowy you could sleep on it. A great appetizer to start us off on the list of best fast food burgers. 15. Arby’s – Deluxe wagyu steakhouse burger Wagyu beef is the Kardashians of the beef world. It’s boujee, expensive, and kind of a big deal. But, is it worth the hype? This is a sous-vide style burger patty topped with American cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion, a special burger sauce, all on a brioche bun. For their first ever hamburger, Arby’s went big and opted for premium ingredients, and it seems to have really paid off. With this burger being a newcomer in 2023, we’ll have to wait and see if it becomes a classic like their sandwiches. 14. Jack in the Box – Jumbo Jack cheeseburger Jack in the Box get major points here for the pricepoint. The Jumbo Jack cheeseburger comes with a jumbo patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, chopped onions, and ketchup on a sesame seed bun. This classic hamburger has everything you’d expect on it, the ingredients are decent quality, and it’s only $4.99. You can even get a smaller version on their new Jack under $4 menu. 13. Carl’s Jr./ Hardee’s – Single Famous Star This burger has an Angus beef patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mayo, and their signature sauce. The best thing is, this burger uses a potato bun which has a slightly sweet taste. Just a good burger from a chain that’s always consistent, nice work little star guy. 12. Culver’s – Butterburger If there’s butter involved, it has to be good. Culver’s make their beef patties from sirloin, chuck, and plate cuts of beef. But that’s not what makes this burger stand out. They butter their buns before adding toppings. It’s a small detail, but it makes the burger amazing. The standard comes with all the usual suspects, with mustard, ketchup, red onion, and pickles, but you can customize how you like. 11. Checkers/Rally’s – Big Buford The Big Buford means business. This burger is made with two large hand seasoned patties, two slices of American cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise – all on a bakery-style bun. Checkers/Rally’s (depending on which coast you’re on) says that this is the ultimate burger for a ‘Fast Foodie’ and they may not be 100% correct about the ‘ultimate’ part, but it’s a pretty good start. 10. Dairy Queen – Backyard bacon ranch signature stackburger This burger from the DQ makes a large Blizzard look like an appetizer. Anything with ‘stack’ in the name has us excited, and this burger does not disappoint. You have the option of double or triple patties here, with crispy applewood smoked bacon, onion rings, melted white cheddar, Hidden Valley ranch, and honey BBQ sauce on a soft and toasted bun. You can probably feel yourself salivating right about now. 9. Sonic – SuperSonic bacon double cheeseburger Sonic recently upgraded their fries to all-new groovy fries, but their burgers have always been great. This burger has two quarter-pound, 100% pure beef hamburgers, two melty slices of American cheese, lettuce, fresh sliced tomatoes, creamy mayo, and top it all off with crispy bacon. The only thing missing is the pickle, so this one is a good option for all you pickle haters out there. Again, a good quality burger with the exact textures and flavors that you would expect, Sonic is an underrated spot that rarely misses the mark. 8. Whataburger – Whataburger Jr. Burger is in the title so our expectations are high. People often complain about wait times at Whataburger, but this hamburger makes it worth the wait. This is the best tiny burger you’ll ever eat. It comes with a beef patty, lettuce, tomato, diced white onion, and mayo on a potato bun. The ingredients are fresh, the beef is perfectly seasoned, and there’s still room for more. 7. Steak ‘n’ Shake – Wisconsin buttery steakburger Good quality meat from Wisconsin, and a lot of butter – what’s not to love? This burger is a blend of top-quality steak and rich, creamy butter, seasoned with salt and pepper. Simple, high-quality ingredients for an exceptionally juicy and flavorsome burger. Butter burgers are a special, wholly American affair, and this one literally has a pool of butter under the burger. 6. Wendy’s – Bacon double stack Wendy’s use square beef patties, and although it probably doesn’t contribute to the taste, it makes them stand out in a world of circular patties. Wendy’s does everything right, and this burger with bacon, cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles, and onions is no exception. You can also get free fries at Wendy’s every Friday for the rest of the year. 5. Shake Shack – Shack Stack This is a truly decadent burger that won’t disappoint. It’s a classic cheeseburger topped with all the veggies you’d expect, so much so that it looks like a cartoon burger. But that’s not what makes it so great. It comes with a portobello mushroom that’s been stuffed with cheese and then breaded to make a big garlicky monster that goes on top of you burger. Shake Shack don’t mess around. 4. In-N-Out Burger – Double-Double ‘animal style’ Sorry to anyone who can’t have an In-N-Out burger, but it’s worth the road trip. Any burger from there is good because of the authentic smashed burger cooking method, but this one is the best. Order your Double-Double animal style and the patty will be cooked in mustard and served with pickles, extra In-N-Out Spread and grilled onions, in addition to the standard toppings. Now, that’s a thing of beauty. 3. McDonald’s – Big Mac You were probably wondering when this guy was going to appear on this list, so here’s the Big Mac. You can’t go wrong with two beef patties, American cheese, lots of shredded lettuce, diced onion, and the iconic Big Mac Sauce. On top of that, you get an extra piece of bread. Many a burger joint has tried to replicate the Big Mac Sauce, but no one does it quite like McDonald’s 2. Five Guys – ‘All the way’ burger Five Guys burgers are made fresh in front of you, are fully customizable, and are made with straight-up great quality ingredients. Yes, the price point is high, but it’s worth it. The ‘all the way’ burger comes with a whopping nine toppings: cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, and grilled mushrooms, along with ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. 1. Burger King – Whopper Burger King’s classic Whopper features a quarter pound of flame-grilled beef topped with tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, and sliced white onions on a toasted sesame seed bun. Burger King hands down has the best fast food burger. The beef is juicy and perfectly flame-grilled. The tomato is thick and juicy, and there is the perfect amount of lettuce and ketchup. It’s just so good, it’s the King of burgers – that’s probably where they get the name. So, do you agree with our estimation of the best fast food burger? Or is there a hidden gem that you know of that didn’t make the (prime) cut? Either way, you’re definitely feeling hungry – so it’s a good thing that Burger King and McDonald’s have released value meals.

Ben & Jerry’s reveal Kamala Harris ice-cream flavor inspired by viral meme Ben and Jerry’s / ABC NewsBen and Jerry’s Co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield have revealed that Ben and Jerry’s latest ice cream flavor is to be inspired by Vice President and Presidential Candidate, Kamala Harris. And yes, the flavor is taking inspiration from the viral coconut meme. “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.” This rather poetic anecdote that Harris first said in May 2023 turned into a viral meme across social media, and now, you can eat it. The new ice cream flavor is called Kamala’s Coconut Jubilee and it’s a coconut ice cream with caramel swirls and red, white, and blue star-shaped sprinkles. Ben and Jerry’s invented this new scoop in tandem with MoveOn, a political advocacy group, but the bad news is, this flavor won’t be one you can just grab in Walmart. The flavor will travel the country in a “Scoop the Vote” ice cream truck and make 20 stops in these states, so if you want to try it, you may have to make a little road trip. Free cups and cones of ice cream will be handed out at each stop and attendees can sign up for the chance to win the autographed, limited-edition flavor. Fans can also sign up for the raffle on the ScoopTheVote website. The idea behind this collaboration is to make getting involved in voting interesting, and by engaging people in non-political activities, hopefully encouraging people to register to vote. Whether you’re into politics or not, this limited-edition ice cream will make you feel like you did just fall out of a coconut tree, straight into dessert heaven. This isn’t the only exciting news for ice cream fans; Popeye’s has just launched all-new ice cream topped biscuits.

Baskin Robbins’ Super Mario ice cream is a Nintendo fan’s dream Baskin-RobbinsFans of both Super Mario and ice cream have plenty to look forward to, as a collaboration with Baskin Robbins has just been announced and there a variety of new menu items on offer. Baskin Robbins and Super Mario are known for their limited edition collabs. Back in 2023, we saw a crossover that brought two new ice cream flavors, as well as a new soda, and merch. Now, in July 2024, they’re teaming up once again with a new release that’s guaranteed to please fans. The collaboration is set to coincide with the release of Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD in Japan. That’s right, if you want to sample the new Baskin Robbins collab, you’ll need to take a trip overseas, as it’s only available for Japanese patrons. The new menu is currently available in the country and will run until July 31 to celebrate the new game’s release. The menu includes two new ice cream additions: Super Star-Double Grape Ice Cream (420 yen [US 2.60 USD]) – Features milk ice cream, grape ice cream, and Muscat grape ice cream, combined together in a swirl. – Super Mushroom Cola Float Ice Cream (420 yen [2.60 USD]) – Features vanilla ice cream, cola-flavored ice cream, and white popping candy, creating a fizzing soda float. – If you order any other regular flavor in-store, it will also come complete with Mario-themed packaging, with a Small Double priced at 510 yen [3.15 USD], and a Regular Double at 760 yen [4.69 USD]. In addition to all of these, there is also a special ice-cream sundae option on offer, as well as a brand new soda, both of which come in colorful, Mario-themed packaging: Super Mario Single Sundae (790 yen [4.88 USD]) – A jelly soda designed to look like an ice flower, served up in a cup decorated with ice flowers. Filled with yoghurt-flavoured jelly and nata de coco (coconut gel). – Wonder Flower Crush Soda (750 yen [4.63 USD]) – This dessert drink combines crushed ice, grape-flavored syrup, soda, jelly, and a scoop of your favorite ice cream. – They also have a Mario-themed ice cream cake, but instead of only three characters appearing on top like last year, there are now six. Mario, Luigi, Toad, Peach, Daisy, and Yoshi are all present. Each slice in the cake features a different fan-favorite flavor. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a wild international release. In June, Pizza Hut teamed up with the popular anime Cardcaptor Sakura to release a whole new menu.

Baskin Robbins bring back fan-favorite ice cream just in time for summer Baskin RobbinsFrom July 1, Baskin Robbins are bringing back a limited edition ice-cream flavor that had a cult following when it first dropped in 2021. Beach Day is one of their most popular flavors, and when it disappeared last summer, the ‘Beach Day Baddies’ – the self-proclaimed fandom of the ice-cream, went into a tailspin. Now, Baskin Robbins are teaming up with Sports Illustrated legend and body positivity influencer Hunter McGrady to bring back the iconic flavor, with some extras to celebrate. When the flavor was discontinued last summer, fans on Reddit were distraught, with people hunting for the flavor at their local store: “Does anybody know if the Beach Day flavor is seasonal or if it was discontinued? It shmacks but I can’t find it any more.” However, some fans were speculating that it’s the same flavor as ‘Game Night’ another seasonal flavor from Baskin Robbins, and other fans were anticipating its return this summer saying that it would be back in June or July. It looks like they were right, because the flavor is back with a bang. So, here’s what you can expect to see in Baskin Robbin stores from July 1: Beach Day ice cream: A salted vanilla-flavored ice cream swimming with milk chocolate-flavored caramel-filled sea turtles, frosting flecks, and swirls of graham cracker “sand.” – The new Beach Day shake: featuring a caramel praline drizzle and graham cracker “sand” topping. – The new Beach Day sundae: Two scoops of the fan-favorite flavor with caramel praline topping, graham cracker “sand,” and a delicious waffle cone chip. – Bring the beach home with the Beach Day Pre-Packed Quart. Order it for pickup ahead of time or have it delivered straight to you. – Baskin Robbins have crowned Hunter McGrady the head of the Beach Day Baddies: “With her chill vibes, summer style and love for Beach Day ice cream, McGrady is on a mission to make sure ice cream lovers everywhere know they can take a trip to the beach with a single bite…or sip.” For customers that want to show their love for Beach Day, Baskin-Robbins is also dropping the Beach Day Collection, an exclusive line of merchandise that’s perfect for summer days. The collection includes canvas tote bags, bucket hats, coolers, tumblers, crewneck sweatshirts, and pin sets. All items will be shoppable starting July 1, on the Baskin Robbins website while supplies last. Baskin Robbins aren’t stopping there though, because they have some awesome Fourth of July deals to satisfy your sweet tooth, and they’re not the only brand with star-spangled deals this Independence Day.

Baskin-Robbins’ Christmas flavor ice cream isn’t as wild as viral Thanksgiving flavor Baskin-RobinsBaskin-Robbins revealed their new holiday inspired ice cream, and it’s not as crazy as some of their previous flavors. Baskin-Robbins are known for their innovative ice cream flavors. Some are clear winners, like last year’s Peppermint Ice Cream. Some, however, border on the bizarre, like their turkey dinner inspired flavor in November. What once began as selection of only 30 ice creams, the chain now boasts over 1400 flavors in its long history. Now, fans are excited, as the brand have dropped December’s seasonal flavor – ‘Cup of Cocoa Ice Cream.’ This flavor combines the cozy hot flavors of a warm cup of cocoa, with sweet mini marshmallows. Fans will also be able to pick up the brand’s classic Happy-Holly-days Cake, which combines your choice of ice cream, along with caramel praline topping, frosted pine wreath, and bright holly berries. People can’t wait to try Baskin Robbins new Christmas flavor ice cream People are excited to try Baskin-Robbins’ new holiday inspired ice cream, saying that this “Definitely sounds like a good one.” Another fan suggested shaking things up a little: “I would pour hot cocoa over the ice cream. A twist on the Italian dessert. I love the Peppermint Ice Cream, so these would be great together. This flavor is certainly popular at the chain, as there’s been at least one peppermint inspired ice-cream almost every single year. In 2016, they released their Peppermint Bark in the Dark, then in 2017, Peppermint Pattie graced our bowls, while both 2019 and 2022 boasted the classic Peppermint on their menus.

Baskin Robbins are giving away free ice cream for one day only – here’s how to get it FlickrIconic ice cream brand Baskin Robbins is giving away free scoops, but it’s only available for a single day, you’ll have to be quick. To help beat the summer heat, the chain is releasing a new deal officially titled ‘Melt Insurance,’ which attempts to compensate ice cream lovers for any scoops that have melted too soon. The catch is, it’s only available for one day on August 14, so you’ll need to act quickly. To cash in on the new promotion, all you have to do is download the Baskin Robbins app. After this, you’ll be prompted to fill in a few quick registration details, and then you’re all set. To access the deal, simply type the code MELT in the app, and you’ll be able to claim the single-scoop deal. Please note that waffle cones, toppings, and sundaes are excluded from the discount. This isn’t the only good news Baskin Robbins has been serving up. Back in July, they announced the return of one of their most iconic flavors ever that hadn’t graced menus since 2021. The Beach Day ice cream was so popular that when it dropped from the menu, it sparked a cult following, with the self-proclaimed fandom naming themselves the ‘Beach Day Baddies.’ Thankfully, the iconic flavor is back with a vengeance, with a new Beach Day shake also in tow. Baskin Robbins also released a limited edition merch collection, which includes canvas tote bags, bucket hats, coolers, tumblers, crewneck sweatshirts, and pin sets, via the brand’s official website.

Baby Deadpool popcorn bucket is even better than the Wolverine one Marvel/Regal CinemasDeadpool & Wolverine will be released in theaters on July 25 and MCU fans can’t wait to celebrate this iconic crossover with a trip to the movies and another insane popcorn bucket. If you’re planning on grabbing some swag to see Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman on the big screen, the good news is that Regal Cinemas has exclusive merch on sale. This merch includes a huge novelty Baby Deadpool popcorn bucket and drinks holder, and this exclusive item will likely be a big hit with fans. Maybe even more so than the already popular Wolverine one. Where can I get the Baby Deadpool popcorn bucket? This highly anticipated Merc with a Mouth merch will only be available at Regal Cinemas while stocks last, and with a capacity of 40 ounces of soda and 105 ounces of popcorn, this thing is huge. Shaped like Baby Deadpool in a chair at the movies, the Babypool combo container is priced at $39.99 without snacks or $49.99 with an added small combo. Plus, Regal Crown Club (RCC) members who purchase this collectible item in the theater will earn 3X credits. Viewers couldn’t believe the quality of this popcorn bucket, with one person noting: “This is fire, not gonna lie.” Others were trying to find out how much the item costs, as they anticipated that it would likely sell on eBay for upwards of $200. Some people even joked that since this popcorn bucket is so huge, it should strap to the owner’s chest like a real-life baby carrier. Although Baby Deadpool or ‘Babypool’ has not yet appeared in Deadpool 1 or 2 (or anywhere else in the MCU), this popcorn bucket could be an easter egg for a scene in the upcoming film. Other Deadpool & Wolverine popcorn buckets will also be on sale For Marvel fans who can’t decide between Wolverine and Deadpool, a figural tin featuring both characters filled to the brim with fresh, buttery popcorn will be available for $29.00. A traditional container set with a 32-ounce drink cup with a topper and 230-ounce popcorn bucket inclusive of movie snacks will also be on sale for $34.99. No images have yet been released of these additional popcorn buckets, so it seems that Regal is keeping these as a surprise for moviegoers on the day. Other collectibles available from Regal Cinemas But, that’s not all. People who visit Regal Cinemas from July 25 to July 28 will get some free collectibles with their trip to the theater. Regal guests will receive a mini-poster for attending a 4DX screening, an exclusive collectible ticket for an IMAX viewing, or a limited-edition patch for a ScreenX showtime. Finally, to celebrate the release of the highly anticipated film, 22 Regal locations across the country will be hosting 24 Hours of Deadpool with around-the-clock showtimes in all formats including 3D, 4DX, IMAX, and ScreenX to celebrate the opening day of the movie. It’s likely that a lot of these collectibles will sell out and different theaters will have varying stock levels, so it’s best to ring ahead to your local theater to save disappointment on the day. This isn’t the only outrageous popcorn bucket that we’ve been blessed with in 2024, this one for Dune 2 had an unfortunate design.

Barista who hit customer’s car with hammer reveals true story behind what happened Sky NewsaFootage of a barista attacking a customer’s car with a hammer after he threw his drinks over her has gone viral online. The barista, 23-year-old Emma Lee of Seattle, Washington has responded to the viral video, stating that ‘the conversation needs to change.’ In the video, that looks like it has come from a security camera at the A Taste of Heaven Espresso drive-thru, you can see the angry customer throw two entire coffees over the drive-thru hatch and Lee. She claims that she was acting in self-defense, and that there were no legal repercussions for her reaction to the aggressive customer. According to Lee, this happened because the customer, who is a regular, complained that he was being scammed after being charged $22 for a 24-ounce and 22-ounce iced coffee. The footage recording shows a heated argument between the pair, with the customer getting out of his car to confront Lee. The man can be heard telling Emma on the CCTV footage ‘nobody is going to miss you’. The 23-year-old told Fox News the man had screamed and spat at her, while trying to pry open the window. As things became more heated, Emma asked the man: “If you don’t leave I’m going to throw this [the coffee] at you. Do you want me to throw this at you?” Lee then proceeds to produce a hammer, with which she leans out of the drive-thru hatch, and smashes a hole in the customer’s windshield. After local authorities and police got involved, Lee defended herself, stating: “Women are allowed to respond when there is danger. I think the conversation needs to change from what did they do to deserve that, to why did he think that was at all appropriate?” In the news interview, Emma holds the hammer in her hand and says that she has spoken to three of four different police officers, and they have not mentioned the fact that she attacked the customer’s car, and that they instead have focused on how they can keep that customer from returning. Although some people were wondering why a hammer was at hand in the coffee shop, the majority of people online are applauding the 23-year-old, stating that she is a ‘bad a**’ and that no service worker deserves to be treated that way over an iced coffee. This isn’t the only crazy food-related incident that’s been going viral, a hotdog eating champion was banned from a competition for promoting vegan products.

A&W giving away free root beer for life – for anyone over 100 A&WIn a new promotion, popular casual dining brand A&W announced they are giving away root beer floats for life, free of charge, to people over the age of 100. Yes – you read that correctly. Though A&W is known for some pretty good deals, such as giving customers free root beers each year in celebration of their birthday, the brand has never brought out such an unusual offering. A&W is celebrating its 150th birthday, making it America’s oldest franchised restaurant chain. The brand’s history dates back to 1919, when one of the founding members, Roy Allen, opened one of his very first root beer stands to welcome back veterans from World War 1. Since then, A&W has solidified its position as one of the most popular casual dining establishments in America. In order to celebrate the occasion, A&W is giving customers who are over the age of 100 free root beer floats for life. This means that approximately 108,000 Americans who meet the age requirement will be able to take advantage of the new deal. In order to participate, all customers have to do is visit their local A&W chain, and bring along some kind of identification to make certain of their eligibility. If you don’t fall into this age bracket, not to worry. In order to take advantage of A&W’s yearly free root beer float on your birthday, all you have to do is join Rooty’s Mug Club. You can do this by visiting awrestaurants.com/100, where you’ll be prompted to enter your registration details to sign up. You will also be able to take advantage of deals via their membership, including some of the chain’s most popular items such as burgers and cheese curds. A&W isn’t the only dining chain in the giving spirit this summer, as TGI Friday’s is handing out free meals for an entire year for 21 lucky diners.

Auntie Anne’s pretzel-scented fragrance resells for 4x the price on eBay Instagram: auntieannespretzelsAuntie Anne’s customers liked their new Knead fragrance so much that bottles are now being sold on eBay for four times the original price. On August 14, pretzel shop Auntie Anne’s released a unique pretzel-scented fragrance. The unisex ‘Knead’ perfume is described as having “buttery notes and a hint of sweetness.” While it sold for $25 per 1 oz. bottle on the brand’s website, the fragrance ended up selling out fairly quickly and plenty of re-sellers online are embracing the opportunity to cash in on a product with limited availability. When customers couldn’t get their hands on the Knead perfume, some began reselling the product on eBay for four times the price at around $100 per bottle. A 1 oz. bottle and Auntie Anne’s tote bag was even resold for $175 on August 21, and that doesn’t include the shipping price. Though the fragrances on eBay are going fast to customers who think the higher price is worth it, Auntie Anne’s announced on August 21 that customers could preorder the Eau de Pretzel perfume while supplies last, as the brand only has a limited amount left after selling out from its initial drop. After hearing that Auntie Anne’s would be allowing customers to preorder after selling out, many took to the pretzel brand’s Instagram page to share their excitement, despite the estimated shipping time exceeding their desires. “Tis’ the greatest day of my life,” commented one. “Just got one! Thank you for doing the preorder,” said another. However, resellers on eBay are still actively trying to sell what they have, and after the popular Stanley beverage tumblers successfully resold online for $300, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Knead’s price skyrocket on second-hand websites. Following their exclusive drop this August, the plastic McDonald’s collector cups were also seen online, where they resold for hundreds of dollars as well.

Are Wendy’s selling crab legs? Viral TikTok explained TikTok: @thetruebandoA rumour has been circulating TikTok regarding the Wendy’s menu, with people are convinced that they’ve started offering crab legs. However, that’s not the case. In a TikTok video that was posted way back in 2022, a user took to the platform to share an image of the iconic Wendy’s logo, along with a platter of crab legs. Given that Wendy’s is a fast food restaurant that focuses on burgers, fries, and a bit of chicken, this naturally confused viewers. Some were quick to react, commenting: “Crab legs from Wendy’s that’s real wild.” Many were put off by the ‘new,’ menu item, saying “The crab looks ashy,” and “That’s not a crab, that’s an overgrown tarantula.” Is Wendy’s actually selling crab legs? In December, people reacted to the original video, with one user on TikTok proclaiming that he’d just returned from Wendy’s, and bought an “eight bucket crab legs.” He even urged people to go to Wendy’s, because “It was mad f**king good.” Fans will be grateful to learn, however, despite all of the rumors circulating TikTok, Wendy’s are not, in fact, selling crab legs. Neither have they commented that they plan to add this item to menus. So, if you’ve seen any of the TikTok videos about Wendy’s supposed new menu addition, don’t go rushing into your local store asking for seafood. You’re just going to look a bit silly. They have however, released their classic, annual Peppermint Frosty ready for fans to enjoy over the holiday season.

Arizona Tea owner reveals why iconic 99c price won’t change yet Instagram: @candymailukThe company owner of Arizona Tea revealed in an interview why he refuses to raise the famous 99c price label attached to the popular beverages. Don Vultaggio, Arizona Tea’s owner, first released the iconic 99c cans back in 1992, over three decades ago. Since then, the price has remained the same, unflinching despite progressive inflation rises. Vultaggio sat down with the Today Show for an interview to explain why his business has remained so successful in spite of external challenges. “People say, ‘How do you do it?” he began. “We make it faster. We ship it better. We ship it closer. The cans are thinner. We’re successful, we’re debt-free, we own everything. Why have people who are having a hard time paying their rent pay more for their drink? Maybe it’s my little way of giving back,” he told viewers. For reference, in research compiled by Market Watch, the website revealed that if Arizona Tea were to keep up with market costs, and raise prices accordingly since their first release back in 1992, this would mean the 22-ounce drinks would cost 124% more, which equates to $2.22. When he was asked about the possibility of raising prices one day, he said that he wasn’t completely opposed to the idea, but would like to maintain the 99c price for as long as possible. “I don’t know about never, [but] not in the foreseeable future,” he told Today. “We’re going to fight as hard as we can for consumers because consumers are my friend.” Soda brand Pepsi has also been making news during 2024, as the company was forced to recall ‘sugar free’ sodas from shelves, after discovering they were actually packed with sugar.

Applebee’s customer shocked by “trash” all-you-can-eat offering TikTok: @djacques4A customer went to Applebee’s to purchase all-you-can-eat shrimp from the popular dining chain, but what he got was totally unexpected. In a video that’s gone viral on TikTok, a user named Jacob shared the bizarre meal he was handed at Applebee’s. Visiting the chain with his friend, he wanted to take advantage of the $15 all-you-can-eat shrimp, wings, and ribs deal. They eat their first platter, feeling super full and doubting they could tackle another. However, what Jacob was actually brought was wholly unexpected. Instead of bringing out another large platter full of shrimp for the pals to chow down on, the server instead brought a tiny plate that only had four pieces of shrimp on it. TikTok weigh in on all-you-can-eat shrimp fiasco After the video was posted on the platform, people weighed in on the situation, clearly shocked by the tiny plate Jacob was given: “HELP I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE LEFTOVERS,” one exclaimed. “Had to hold in my laugh as she slowly set it down,” Jacob responded. Another shared a similar experience they’d had on a recent visit to Applebee’s “I went for this once and got MAYBE 4 plates of like 5 little nuggets and after each plate the waiter asked if I was ready for the check.” However, some claimed that it wasn’t just Applebee’s that were responsible for giving tiny portions, stating: “Same for Olive Garden endless pasta. I got my second plate ready to chow and it was the size of a child’s meal.” Another TikToker was surprised in January, as they found something unexpected when opened up their Subway order.

Applebee’s customer shamed by waiter for ordering molten lava cake TIKTOK: theatrewithselena / WIKIMEDIA COMMONSAn Applebee’s customer has gone viral on TikTok after recounting how she was being ‘shamed’ by a waiter for trying to order a molten lava cake. Content creator Selena (theatrewithselena) recently took to TikTok to explain why she will never step foot in an Applebee’s restaurant again. “One time, I got drunk in an Applebee’s and I really wanted a molten lava cake,” she recounted in a viral clip. “And so I looked at the waiter and said, ‘Hey, can I please have a molten lava cake?’” Selena said the server then looked at her like she had “five heads” before claiming that they don’t serve molten lava cake. “We don’t have that,” she recalled the waiter telling her. “Did you mean the Triple Chocolate Meltdown?” “Sorry, I was too drunk to call this lava cake by its Applebee’s Government name,” the TikToker said in the video. “Like so sorry about that. I never went to that Applebee’s again. That was the most embarrassing moment of my life.” Many viewers in the comments recounted their own similar experiences of waiters being unusually insistent about a dish’s official name. “When i asked for chicken tenders at Texas Roadhouse and she said ‘..uh chicken CRITTERS..????’” one person wrote. “No because why does McDonald’s have me saying ‘McCrispy’ out loud for a chicken sandwich,” another said. “Me at Texas Roadhouse EVERYTIME I order the blooming onion ‘oh…the cactus blossom?’ WE BOTH KNOW ITS A BLOOMING ONION,” a third added. However, according to some servers in the comments, there might actually be a valid reason for being so meticulous. “As a server, I will ALWAYS ask if you mean the government name because otherwise when ppl get it they tell me that’s “not what they ordered,” one shared. “When I’m doing a long shift in food service, if people don’t use the exact wording I get confused because there’s typically so many food options,” another commented.

Applebee’s bring back fan-favorite all-you-can-eat buffet but it won’t last long FlickrApplebee’s are bringing back their ever-popular all-you-can-eat buffet, serving some of their best-loved food, but it’s only back for a limited time, so you’ll need to take advantage while it lasts. One of Applebee’s most famous deals is the Dollarita, where you can snag a margarita cocktail for only $1. This popular TikTok drink trend returned in May, when the chain brought back their value beverages, quickly becoming a viral sensation. Now, they’ve got even more deals to take advantage of this summer. Relaunching their all-you-can-eat buffet, customers will be able to tuck into classic menu items sold at Applebee’s, including Boneless Wings, Riblets, and Double Crunch Shrimp. You can either choose one, or mix and match and grab your meal with a side of coleslaw and endless fries, all for $15.99. If you opt for the boneless wings, you can choose from six different sauce options: Classic Buffalo, Honey BBQ, Sweet Asian Chile, Garlic Parmesan, Extra Hot Buffalo, and Honey Pepper. The riblets are slow-cooked, and coated in a choice of either Honey BBQ or sweet Asian Chile sauce. Finally, the shrimp are served with a side of cocktail sauce for dipping. Bear in mind that this deal is available to dine-in customers only, and that pricing may vary from location to location. All-you-can-eat buffets have become incredibly popular throughout the course of 2024. We’ve witnessed several viral videos of people posting hacks to get the most out of the experience. In one, a man actually took a plastic bag along with him after raiding the buffet table, before proceeding to tip all of the leftover contents in. In another, a woman ate for eight hours straight at the Fogo De Chao buffet, timing herself for accuracy, before finally being kicked out by staff.

America has chosen the best fast food burger of the year – and it’s an underdog FacebookThe Big Mac, The Whopper, The Baconator; all popular iterations of the classic, all-American hamburger. Every year, USA Today ranks the important stats in fast food (including which chain comes out on top overall) but who makes the best burger of 2024? The composition of bun, beef, bun gets a whole lot more complicated than you’d think, and the results of the survey varied pretty wildly across the board. The best burger is not what you’d expect, and is from a chain that’s considered to be a bit of an underdog with fast foodies across the country. The title goes to a West-coast burger joint that specializes in chargrilled burgers, and no, it’s not In-N-Out. In its annual 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, USA Today named The Habit Burger Grill’s Double Char as the best fast food burger. The Double Char Burger comes with cheese on grilled sourdough along with shredded lettuce, tomato, mayo, pickles and caramelized onions. It can also be ordered ‘Santa Barbara style’ which includes slices of avocado. The beef patties themselves are chargrilled and made with 100% beef, giving them that smoky homestyle BBQ flavor. The burger is on the higher-end of fast food burgers price-wise, costing $8.61 for the burger alone, and with The Habit Burger Grill being more of a fast-casual dining spot, rather than a straight-up fast food joint, this result shows a move for customers to good quality ingredients and slightly ‘healthier’ burgers. The Habit Burger Grill serves up burgers, sandwiches, salads, and has lots of vegetarian options, grilled meats, and serves up minimal fried food. Their tempura green beans won ‘Best Side of The Year’, too. The chain started in Santa Barbara in the late 1960s, but rose to popularity in 2014 when Consumer Reports stated that it served the best-tasting fast-food burger, just barely beating In-N-Out and Five Guys. Whilst the move from convenience and low-cost to higher quality and healthier is interesting and shows fast food fans’ desire for a substantial burger amid rising fast food inflation costs, let’s see how other popular chains stacked up. How other fast food burgers ranked The Double Double from In-N-Out came second, and the BBQ Rodeo Burger from Burger-Fi came in third, however, classic chains like McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Sonic didn’t make the top 10. The only big-name burger that made it onto the list was the Whopper, that came in at a relatively low eighth. With no Big Mac in sight, it looks like an underdog has taken the crown this year. Why not check out our ranking of the best fast food burgers and see how your favorite stacks up?

Anime avatar waitresses are now taking orders at a Japanese bar Avatar Dining LabA Japanese-style pub is taking orders via anime-style avatar waitresses, which are remotely controlled by actual human beings. The Miraizaka izakaya branch located in Tokyo’s Shinbashi district offers more than tasty karaage (fried chicken) and beer. The pub has also partnered with Tokyo-based startup Avatar Dining Lab to bring diners the unique experience of having their orders taken via virtual anime-style wait staff. But while many restaurants are now utilizing touchscreen ordering systems in Japan, Miraizaka’s anime avatars come included with a human touch. The anime-style avatars are remotely controlled by real-life people behind the scenes, meaning there are no pre-recorded animations or sound clips used when placing an order. Rather than take advantage of AI in this digital age, Avatar Dining Lab’s hi-tech hybrid system hopes to not only boost the dining experience for customers but also help staff avoid a long work commute and increase the number of shifts they can take. As of now, the anime-style avatars are only part of a one-month trail running from July 29 to August 29 and will take a short break from August 11-16. However, for anyone looking to grab a bite to eat or a drink from an anime waitress, the avatars will be running the bar from 6 PM to 11 PM local time. And, if the trial proves a success, anime-style avatar waitresses might just start popping up more frequently, as Miraizaka has multiple branches across the country. This isn’t the first time anime has been introduced to the dining experience, with McDonold’s previously teaming up with the anime and manga series Jujutsu Kaisen to introduce a limited-time sauce flavor. The fast-food chain is even partnering with the studio behind Naruto and Bleach, Studio Pierrot, to create an anime based around McDonald’s fries and nuggets.

Altoids Sours are returning after 14 years but under different name Instagram: candyfunhouseThe beloved Altoids Sours make their highly-anticipated return. Altoids Sours first hit the market in 2001 but were discontinued in 2010 due to low sales. The iconic candy came in multiple flavors including raspberry, citrus, apple, tangerine, and mango. Though Altoids Sours didn’t thrive for long, fans have tried their hardest to get them back on store shelves by making their demands known online. Fortunately, fans will soon be able to find and purchase them again. That’s right, Altoids Sours are coming back and customers will be able to purchase them at various retailers nationwide as well as Cracker Barrel’s Old Country Store. Cracker Barrel is a popular southern-food restaurant with over 600 locations across America. Each eatery has a store attached to it where patrons can buy nostalgic accessories and candies. The one thing to look out for? The candy will be going by a new name, ‘Retro Sours,’ and will be manufactured by Iconic Candy. The flavors that can be expected to be sold are mango, tangerine, and citrus. Fans of the beloved candy were more than ecstatic to hear the news about the Retro Sours. Many commented on an announcement shared on Instagram, saying they’ve been “dying” to taste the sour candy ever since Altoids Sours were discounted. “I never thought I’d live to see the day!” exclaimed one. “This is so awesome. I can’t wait until they’re back,” added another. One fan also noted their “childhood memories” were “unlocked” after seeing the viral IG post. Another even went as far as saying, “life’s worth living again.” While there is no exact date for the official drop of Retro Sours both in-stores and at Cracker Barrel, it’s clear that its return will be well worth the wait for many who have missed the treat. McDonald’s is also offering a sense of nostalgia for customers, as their snack wraps are expected to return in 2025. After being discontinued in 2016, fans of the food item were torn. However, most are thrilled to know that the tasty snack will return soon.

Aggressive Starbucks customer demands pink Stanley cup from workers saying she “needs” one TikTok: kaitlinsondaeA woman stormed up to a Starbucks counter, demanding a pink Stanley cup, after telling workers that she “needs” one. As you’ll be well aware by now, there is a massive craze surrounding the pink Valentine’s Day Stanley cups. People have been camping outside of Target for hours to try and secure these limited edition items, leading to several heated scuffles. One man even jumped a counter at Target to get his hands on one. Now, an aggressive customer approached a Starbucks worker, demanding one of the coveted cups. “She stormed right up to the counter and told us she needed one of the pink Stanley cups. I calmly explained that those weren’t available yet, and she threw her arms up in the air like a toddler and said ‘I CALLED HERE and THEY SAID you guys would GIVE ME ONE!’,” she recalls. She says that she and her coworkers were totally bemused by the situation, writing: “All of my coworkers and I stood in awe. If she did call, none of us answered. And we had to finally look at her and say we aren’t losing our jobs and good reputation over a pink cup. I hate people.” People weigh in on aggressive pink Stanley cup customer In the Reddit thread where the story was posted, people were quick to weigh in on the situation. Many were fellow Target workers, who were dreading the release of the new Stanley cups: “Aren’t these only at the target Starbucks? I want to make sure before I have to have this argument with a customer” one wrote. “I believe there’s a Starbucks x Target Stanley exclusive coming out tomorrow. The one on the 31st was just a target exclusive. So good luck tomorrow!” another said ironically. Another Target worker chimed in, calling out fellow workers for creating further demand: “Don’t be ‘the other’ Target store to sell them early,” they write, as some workers were accused of stocking the items too soon. “It’s not that freaking hard. And if you’re a leader who didn’t schedule for launch day appropriately, knowing full-well there’s Stanleys releasing, and had opportunity to do so, do better.” “I’m so tired of seeing people who don’t pay attention to their period guides or put shit out ahead of schedule. It’s really easy not to do this and yet because people either didn’t care or didn’t pay attention, the stores that did get treated like OP here,” they continue.” Avoid the fuss and pick up your own Stanley cup from the official site: If you click on a product link on this page we may earn a small affiliate commission.

All 9 items on the McDonald’s dollar menu ranked Konstantin PostumitenkoThe items on the McDonald’s dollar menu is a great way to enjoy some fast food on a budget, and here’s how they compare. Although the menu is commonly known as the ‘dollar menu’, it’s actually called the “$1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu“, and nothing on it actually costs less than a dollar. McDonald’s used to have a menu of items only costing a dollar, but in 2013, this menu was scrapped and replaced with some higher-priced items. However, anything for under three dollars at a fast food joint these days is still a bargain. Mcdonald’s dollar menu items ranked from worst to best 9. Sausage biscuit: $1.59 The biscuits at McDonald’s are not very good. They are dry, crumble easily and are kind of tasteless. On top of this, their sausages are definitely not as good as those from other places. If you want a cheap breakfast, just go to Denny’s. 8. Sausage burrito: $1.99 A breakfast burrito is always a great start to the day, and with this one being so low-priced, you can’t really complain. That being said, the way the sausages are molded into those tiny balls they put into burritos is kind of gross. Still, not a bad deal for the price. 7. Fries: $2.29 A classic McDonald’s item that you all know and love. There is nothing wrong with McDonald’s fries, however, at over two dollars for a small carton, there are cheaper alternatives. For example, a small fries at Wendy’s costs $1.69. 6. Sausage McGriddles: $2.39 Even though this isn’t on McDonald’s official dollar menu, it shows up on the app as a value meal item in most areas. Check your McDonald’s app to see if it’s available for you. This item is pretty good value seeing as you get a sausage patty between two hotcakes filled with syrup. The sausage with the syrup is so wrong that it’s right, so make sure you grab this during McDonald’s breakfast hours. 5. 4-piece chicken McNuggets: $2.49 Fast food prices are certainly on the rise, and although this is on the dollar menu, over two dollars for just four small nuggets doesn’t feel like that much of a bargain. You can get 6 nuggets from Jack In The Box for $1.75. 4. Hash brown: $1.99 Of all the fast-food items that McDonald’s is celebrated for, the hash brown is among the most deserving. Two dollars for a hash brown might feel expensive, but it’s worth it, especially when you ask for it hot, fresh, and crispy. 3. McDouble: $2.59 Now we’re getting into the meat of the dollar menu (excuse the pun). Any burger that is under three dollars is delicious, and a burger with two patties for under three dollars? That deserves our third spot. The only thing missing is a soda and some fries. 2. Sausage McMuffin: $1.79 McMuffins are an excellent breakfast option, and although the ham and egg McMuffin is the true star of the show, for less than two dollars, you can’t really go wrong with a sausage McMuffin. 1. McChicken sandwich: $1.99 While it’s certainly not the best fast-food chicken sandwich you can eat, it’s one of the most reliable menu items that McDonald’s has to offer. The McChicken has been a McDonald’s menu staple for a long time, and the price is inarguably brilliant. Plus, pickles are a free add-on.

“Aggresive” Starbucks customer under fire for lashing out at barista over sandwich order FlickrAn “aggressive” customer lashed out at Starbucks barista who she told repeatedly that she wasn’t making a sandwich to her liking. The Starbucks barista has taken to social media to share an experience they claim to have had with a demanding customer who was super picky about how her sandwich was made — and things got very heated. “I had an older lady come by today who, completely ignoring our cashier and talking directly to me, the one making drinks, demand I get her a sausage egg and cheese sandwich (I work at a WPS so we have different food than corporate stores) but she didn’t want the cheese and she wanted ‘the sausage toasted, not the outside of the buns’. The barista claimed that she peeled off the cheese, to which the customer responded “Just leave it on if you can’t do it quickly, I’m late!” The older woman apparently snapped at her once again that “‘the insides can’t touch the bottom of the toaster.” “She then demands I double toast it, but before the first cycle is even done she’s complaining about how late she’s going to be and how long it’s taking to toast the sandwich.” Finally, the barista handed over the sandwich and the customer immediately complained that the outside of the bun was toasted but she’ll just have to take it anyways because she’s so late. “I’m still confused about what she expected me to do, break the laws of reality and thermodynamics to instantly toast her sausage without putting it in the toaster upside down? Help? She asks other Redditors, clearly perplexed by the whole situation. People outraged by “aggressive” customer After the post was made on the platform, people couldn’t wait to weigh in and share their opinions on the “aggressive” customer. “Lmao whenever I have someone come up to me on bar demanding their sandwich/pastry I always tell them. ‘yeah THEY are working on your food so it should be coming out soon’ like brother can you not see I’m solo baring drive mobile and cafe and I just handed your drink out,” one shared. “If she was running that late and can’t even wait two minutes for food to be toasted the way she wants it, she should worry more about getting to work and not getting Starbucks on the way,” another clapped back. “I hate when they expect their food right after having a drink handed off to them! I’m sorry, do you see me at an oven with food fridges/pastries next to me?” Another Starbucks barista went viral after she compiled a list of the most annoying thing customers do.

Adorable McDonald’s Japan x Studio Ghibli ad has fans going wild McDonald’sMcDonald’s Japan has delivered another wholesome animated ad, but this time, it has Studio Ghibli fans incredibly excited. The marketing team behind McDonald’s Japan is no stranger to creating viral hits. Last year, the official account famously shared animated clips of a family sharing a meal, and another depicting an awkward but cute young couple on a first date. Both of these videos quickly went viral, with the clips receiving millions of views and even fan art from avid fans. McDonald’s Japan is also famous for its many anime collaborations, with the fast-food eatery linking up with everything from Pokemon to Detective Conan. However, the latest collab has caught the attention of the Studio Ghibli community, with many flocking to social media to heap praise on the new ad. On June 17, 2024, the official McDonald’s Japan X account posted a silhouette of Kiki, the young witch from Kiki’s Delivery Service. The brief clip was uploaded with the following caption: “Do you know who it is?” The post instantly garnered a lot of attention from Studio Ghibli fans, who quickly commented on the video to share their excitement over a potential collab. However, they didn’t have to wait long, as a mere day after the initial clip was uploaded, McDonald’s Japan posted three new clips. During the first clip, we get to see Kiki flying on her broom with her beloved black cat Jiji – who is yet again, holding on for dear life. Kiki also has her signature radio slung around her broom, with a McDonald’s meal hanging closely next to it. The next video shows Kiki running errands around the beautiful streets of Koriko, the main setting from Miyazaki’s iconic film. This is then followed up with the third and final video, which shows the sun setting over Koriko as Kiki and Jiji fly back home. It’s all incredibly sweet and Studio Ghibli fans were overjoyed that the little witch has received an “unexpected” crossover. “Kids would be so happy if Kiki and Jiji from Kiki’s Delivery Service delivered McDonald’s to their house,” wrote one commenter. Others were also keen to capitalize on the “delivery” part of Kiki Delivery Service, with one user writing: “Will you deliver my Mac? Cute Kiki’s Delivery Service.” Quite whether there will be any Kiki’s Delivery service menu items remains to be seen, but it’s clear McDonald’s Japan has poured some magic into its latest videos.

Adults losing it over “perfect” Wendy’s Kids Meal toys TikTok: @brit617Wendy’s is setting TikTok ablaze with its new kids’ meal toys, this time boasting giant Crayola crayons even grown-ups are obsessing over. In a viral video that’s gained 2.5 million views, TikToker and mom Brittany uploaded a video of herself in her car, having just grabbed the latest kid’s meal toys from Wendy’s. These were none other than the gigantic crayons created by Crayola. She proceeded to take the plastic off the green crayon she’d secured, before taking a look inside. “This is the perfect toy,” she could be heard saying. As she finally took it apart, the contents burst out, revealing a set of regular, multi-colored Crayola crayons, and a coloring-in sheet. “Holy cow,” she said unwinding the coloring sheet, clearly impressed by the latest toy. After the video was posted on social media, people couldn’t get enough of the new Wendy’s toy, writing: “This is why my 50-year-old self is about to go to Wendy’s, and I have no babies to give them to. So cute.” “Wendy’s kid meal toys are top tier! Last month it was playdoh with Dinosaur shaped molds,” another chimed in. “Not gonna lie, this would make a great tampon holder!” one viewer said, and was met with over 500 likes.

The Crayolas come in six different colors, including: Red Orange, Blue Green, Blue Violet, Red Violet, Yellow Orange, and Yellow Green. This isn’t the only kid’s meal prize that’s got people talking. In June, McDonald’s Italy included a full-sized beach towel in Happy Meals, and it quickly went viral.

A real SpongeBob SquarePants restaurant is opening with “fine dining” menu NICKELODEONA real SpongeBob SquarePants-themed restaurant is opening in Brazil, one that plans to serve a “fine dining” menu. Anybody who grew up watching SpongeBob would probably have dreamt of eating at the Krusty Krab before. We all crave to know just how delicious a Krabby Patty really is. Well, although not exactly the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob SquarePants is getting its very first officially themed restaurant in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where the chefs are set to serve a “fine dining” menu to customers and fans alike. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the restaurant will be named Bob Esponja – Burger & Restaurante. The name Bob Esponja directly translates to Bob Sponge, but makes more sense as it’s the title name of SpongeBob in Latin American Spanish dubs of the show. Paramount is partnering up with Fan & Food to open a restaurant more than 1,000 square meters in size, with a capacity to serve 254 customers across four food areas and a retail store. The first floor alone seats 144 people. The restaurant will feature spaces like the Flying Dutchman’s Lounge and Casa da Sandy, with one of the sections being decked out like SpongeBob’s Pineapple House. Nickelodeon described the restaurant to HR as “the first and only SpongeBob SquarePants-themed fine dining [spot] in the world with 70 seats. Customers will be able to enjoy a special menu created by renowned chef Heaven Delhaye.” The restaurant is slated to open sometime in April and is part of the Paramount Location-Based Entertainment & Experiences division that handles Paramount’s themed restaurants, cruises, musicals, and more.

According to TikTok you’ve been eating Airheads wrong your entire life TikTokAirheads are a nostalgic treat for a lot of people, but TikTokers are saying that you’re missing out on one vital step when you’re eating them. Airheads are a chewy candy that will likely take you right back to childhood, but you’re probably used to eating the strips of gooey goodness in three or four bites due to their long, flat shape. Well, according to people on TikTok, you will be today years old when you find out how you’re actually supposed to eat them. Several influencers, including food blogger Jordan The Stallion, have claimed that you’re supposed to shake the Airhead until it changes into a small cube. Jordan is known for his content about food secrets and life hacks, and after he tried this trick, viewers were amazed to find that the candy shrunk to a quarter of its size and resembled a pillow. Jordan even claimed that the ‘white mystery’ flavor Airhead tasted different after he tried this trick, but these Airheads actually taste different from batch to batch so it’s unlikely that you’d ever get two that taste the same. According to Airhead manufacturers, when a run of one flavor is finished, the company may have some candy left over but not enough to produce a full run. It mixes the leftovers from multiple batches and doesn’t add food coloring to produce White Mystery. People were commenting saying that the action of shaking the candy ‘hurt their knuckles’, and others were suggesting that you can even put the Airhead in hot water to get the same effect. One user even commented saying: “It’s called pillowing and was common knowledge passed by word of mouth when I was a kid.” Whereas, most people in the comments were just surprised that it actually worked in the first place. According to another TikToker, the Airhead logo, a small red balloon in the right-hand corner of the wrapper, is an indication of how you are supposed to eat it, because you are meant to shake the candy until it’s the same size as the logo. Although Airhead manufacturers have not commented on this ‘discovery’ that people are making on TikTok, some candy fans were skeptical stating that if they were supposed to be eaten this way, surely there would be a tutorial on the packet. A former employee at a factory that produced Airheads did give some insider insight though: “Just so you know, I used I work at the Airhead factory….and this is utter bullsh*t. They’re called AIRHEADS because they’re full of air. You’re shaking out the air.” This isn’t the only thing about candy from your childhood that you might be shocked to find out. Recently, people were vowing never to eat from candy machines again after finding out what’s inside them. Are Airheads still in production? This TikTok trend was prompting people to share that they hadn’t eaten an Airhead in years, and it’s true that this is a candy that is more popular with children. However, back in 2022, there were rumors circulating on TikTok that Airheads were ceasing production until 2024, and this prompted people to stock up on supplies of the chewy candy. This rumor got so out of hand that Airheads even had to release a statement to dispel any false information. Nobody actually knows why this rumor came about, but the good news is that Airheads are still in production so you can still give this new method of eating them a try.

You can also add in some nuts, to give it a super satisfying texture. This one contains 410 calories (which is great, considering the portion size), 8 grams of protein, and 7 grams of fiber. 5. Starbucks Petite Vanilla Bean Scone Craving something sweet? Okay, we hear you. If you want a sugary, tasty treat to sink your teeth into, we’d recommend Starbucks’ vanilla bean scone. They’re great for pairing with a warm cup of coffee, and don’t contain the colossal amount of added sugar like some other dessert-menu items. In fact, they only have a total of 8 grams of sugar. This doesn’t mean that they’re not sweet however, as they taste super sugary, tempered by the delicate, earthy flavor of the vanilla glaze. The best thing about these scones is that they’re 120 calories apiece! This means that you can safely order two, (or three!), without any guilt. 6. Kale And Farro Salad If you’ve looking to cut down your meat consumption, and feel like opting for a veggie-based lunch, then we’d like to present this tasty kale and farro salad. Packed to the brim full of goodness, this salad includes crispy apples, juicy kale, chunky red cabbage, and fresh, shredded carrots. A sweet, red wine vinaigrette is then drizzled all over the top, giving the dish an incredibly tangy, acidic flavor, that compliments the sweetness of the honey. This dish comes in at 400 calories, a huge 7 grams of fiber, and 8 grams of protein. Impressive for a meatless dish. 7. Avocado Spread Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably witnessed the buzz surrounding Starbucks’ avocado spread. This organic spread comes in a cute, compact container, giving you a delightful little portion to lather on your bagel. It’s super eye-catching, displaying an incredibly satisfying green color that’s produced by all-natural ingredients. This super creamy spread is made from organic avocados, jalapeno peppers, lime juice, sea salt, onion, and nothing else! Even the process they use to preserve the spread is health conscious, employing high pressure processing, rather than adding any artificial items. All this, and it’s only 90 calories, as well providing you with a healthy 4 gram dosage of fiber. Conclusion Though it might seem like Starbucks is out-of-bounds when you’re trying to be more health aware, this doesn’t have to be the case. As you can see, there are lots of tasty breakfast and lunch options to choose from, as well as plenty of snack items to keep you going throughout the day. This means that there’s no need to forgo your favorite coffee-stop, just make some simple swaps.

7-Eleven is bringing their Japanese food menu to the US Wikimedia Commons7-Eleven customers will be met with some different menu items to try, after the chain announced it was getting a massive revamp. Voted the number one convenience store in the US, 7-Eleven customers are familiar with the classic hot dog weenies that are served there. But now, in one of their biggest shake-ups ever, 7-Eleven are looking to put an overseas twist to menus. Patrons might not realize, but 7-Eleven is actually a Japanese-owned company. Ryuichi Isaka, CEO of Seven & I Holdings acquired full ownership of the brand back in 2005 and subsequently opened up several locations in his home country. These Japanese convenience stores, called konbini, put a firm focus on food, and serve up everything from egg sandwiches to rice cakes. Now, it looks as though we might be getting some of these enviable menu items in the US, as a spokesperson for the chain revealed: “We are constantly evolving the fresh food assortment in our stores, tailoring the offerings at each location to meet the needs and preferences of local customers. “Our team draws inspiration from around the world to introduce new items like Mangonada donuts with Tajin, barbecue pork sliders, chicken curry bowls and everything breakfast sandwiches that can be found at select 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes stores across the country,” they added. “We believe that we need to change our business model from one that relies on gasoline and cigarettes to one in which customers choose us based on our products. The key to this change is fresh food.” If 7-Eleven being Japanese-owned didn’t already blow your mind, check out this “weird” hidden detail a customer discovered about the company’s logo.

7-Eleven is letting customers drink alcohol in-store, but there’s a catch 7-Eleven7-Eleven stores are going to look more like bars once the convenience chain begins selling alcohol in Ontario this September. Canadian beer and wine fans are going to be allowed to buy alcoholic drinks from convenience stores thanks to the province’s new laws, but 7-Eleven is taking things a step further. The chain won the approval for liquor licenses at all but two of its stores in Ontario and as a result, customers looking to have a seat and crack open a cold one will be able to at most locations. 7-Eleven locations will add special dining sections with at least ten seats each, but with 32-foot walls separating them from the rest of the stores. Beer and wine would be served from noon to 11 PM. Customers won’t be able to leave the stores with their drinks, but they’ll still be able to buy beer and wine to go if they don’t want to consume their liquor indoors. 7-Eleven Canada’s vice president and general manager Marc Goodman told 680 NewsRadio that while they’re starting with Ontario, they plan to expand this program to other provinces in the country. “We hope it will become a traffic driver,” he said. “Our plan is to be competitive with the marketplace…Working with the government actually has been quite a pleasure with this process.” Although the idea of grabbing a beer at 7-Eleven has been enticing for many, some are concerned about alcohol consumption at corner stores. “Get ready for Waffle House style brawls Ontario,” one X user said about the news. “Nothing screams ‘I need a life’ more than grabbing a table and a beer at a 7-Eleven,” remarked another. However, there have been plenty of counterpoints, too. “People whining about alcohol in 7-Elevens actually have lost faith in Ontarians. Japanese and Korean 7-Elevens do just fine with it,” one user added, defending the decision. People whining about alcohol in 7-Elevens actually have lost faith in Ontarians. — Stephen Taylor (@stephen_taylor) August 9, 2024 Japanese and Korean 7-Elevens do just fine with it. Don’t fix 7-Eleven with policy. Fix your society. This isn’t the only exciting update planned for 7-Eleven. The chain announced back in July that its Japanese food menu would be coming to US stores in a massive revamp.

7-Eleven bring Pumpkin Spice Season back early with new Slurpee 7-Eleven7-Eleven is the first big name to bring back Pumpkin Spice season, and although it’s still technically summer, those cozy Fall evenings are just around the corner. As well as bringing back three fan-favorite coffees, 7-Eleven are also testing a new pumpkin spice-flavored Slurpee, but it’s only available at certain locations. Starbucks are said to relaunch their PSLs as early as August 22, but 7-Eleven is here to ease you into the season. The Pumpkin Spice beverages that are available at participating 7-Eleven stores are: Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew: Combines cold brew coffee with sweet and creamy pumpkin pie spices. – Pumpkin Spice Coffee: Pumpkin spice coffee blend that incorporates cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. – Pumpkin Spice Latte: Sip on seasonal spices atop a creamy pumpkin-flavored latte all season long. – Pumpkin Spice Slurpee: Pumpkin and cinnamon spice swirled together in the form of an ice-cold Slurpee. – The Slurpee is still in its test stages at five locations across the US, and people are feeling apprehensive about trying it because Slurpees are usually fruit flavors, and not the same dessert-type flavors that you would find in coffees. When popular food blogger Snackolator announced this release on their Instagram, these worries were quickly highlighted. “I’m ride or die for Pumpkin Spice but that slurpee sounds cursed.” said one commenter. Another agreed, noting: “Naw I’m sorry but those five locations can keep the Slurpee.” However, others who had gotten the chance to try the new Slurpee noted that it wasn’t as strange as it sounded: “The slurpee is actually pretty tasty! Got my second one today!” Although the reviews on this Slurpee seem to be mixed, most were just happy that all has been restored because Pumpkin Spice season is back. Starbucks 2024 Pumpkin Spice menu was leaked by an employee at the end of July, and the lineup is very similar to that at 7-Eleven, with the pumpkin cream cold brew and classic pumpkin spice lattes also making an appearance.

7-Eleven is about to become more affordable than ever but there’s a catch Wikimedia Commons7-Eleven bosses are now turning their focus to budget-friendly options for their customers, planning to offer a new food line that’s kind to your wallet. However, there is a catch. 7-Elven voted the top convenience store in the whole of the US, is renowned for its iconic menu items, including the ever-popular hot dog weenies sold at the chain. What customers might not know, however, is that 7-Eleven is actually owned by a Japanese company. The company’s CEO, Ryuichi Isaka, acquired full ownership of the brand back in 2005, after which he opened up several locations in his home country. In Japan, these convenience stores have proven to be particularly successful, and are officially called konbini. The stores place a great deal of importance on the food items sold there, from bento boxes to ramen, as well as a variety of fried dishes on offer. The Japanese versions of these convenience stores have proven to be particularly successful, and are officially called konbini. The stores place a great deal of importance on the food items sold there, from bento boxes to ramen, as well as a variety of fried dishes on offer. And if that’s not enough to feel envious about, 7-Eleven Japan are planning to make the delicious treats sold at the store more budget-friendly for patrons The chain announced that they’re going to be renewing its focus on affordability by lowering prices to expand its ‘Ureshii Ne’ (Happy Price) line of budget-friendly food items. “We want to wipe away the perception that convenience stores are expensive,” revealed Nao Haishi, the head of 7-Eleven Japan’s Products Division. He went on to explain that they’re hoping by lowering costs, customers will be prompted to make more frequent visits in the future. If you’ve been surprised by the knowledge that 7-Eleven is a Japanese-owned company, then we’ve got another piece of information that might make you think twice. Back in May, a customer at the convenience store went viral after he noticed a bizarre detail in the company’s logo.

15 McDonald’s items from around the world that prove the US is missing out McDonald’sMcDonald’s meals are totally different depending on what country you are in, so here’s the most mouthwatering meals from across the globe that fans in the US will wish they could try. McDonald’s was established in the US in 1940, and after 50 years, it went international with a store in Moscow, Russia. This was the start of McDonald’s presence around the world and since then they have opened 34,000 stores across 118 countries and serves around 69 million people daily. That’s a lot of Big Macs… Why is the McDonald’s menu different in every country? Although a lot of the staple menu items (like the humble cheeseburger) are a constant on every McDonald’s menu around the world, the other items that you will find do tend to vary a lot. This is because McDonald’s tries to bring the taste of US fast food to that country, but also be true to the cuisine of that country. For example, McDonald’s in Japan serves burgers that are flavored with soy sauce, and McDonald’s in the Philippines even serves spaghetti! 15 best McDonald’s items around the world 15. Canada – Poutine If you’ve ever been to Canada, you know that poutine is a large part of their culture. So it’s no surprise then that McDonald’s has their own version of the stuff. They take their regular fries and top them with cheese curds and peppery gravy. McDonald’s in the US might need to start taking notes and serve up some loaded fries because these look really good. 14. Sweden – Toblerone McFlurry Toblerone chocolate, without the awkward triangle shape that’s really hard to eat. McFlurries are the items that differ most around the world, and in Sweden, McDonald’s tops their McFlurries with real Toblerone chocolate, crispy puffed pieces, and caramel sauce. Sounds pretty delicious, right? 13. India – Chicken Maharaja Mac This is like if a Big Mac had chicken and was inspired by Indian spices. The double chicken burger is topped with jalapeño, onion, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and crunchy lettuce and then dressed with habanero sauce. 12. Germany – McShrimp You’ve probably heard about the elusive McLobster in the US, but in Germany, they take their fish to the next level. These little shrimp get served like chicken nuggets and are deep-fried and served crispy with a cocktail dip. 11. New Zealand – Bubblegum Squash McFlurry McDonald’s in the US usually focuses its McFlurries around chocolate or candy bar flavors, but what about shaking it up like New Zealand? This McFlurry is made with blue bubble gum syrup and cute marshmallows mixed into the standard soft-serve. 10. Malaysia – Bubur Ayam McD This is a type of savory porridge that may seem a little odd for those who aren’t used to eating Malaysian food. However, it is served with chopped-up crispy chicken and spring onions and has a nice chili kick. It’s definitely worth a try if you ever find yourself in Malaysia because this probably wouldn’t take off in the US. 9. Philippines – McSpaghetti Yes, Malaysians can really get spaghetti from McDonald’s. This dish is just standard spaghetti with tomato sauce and cheese on top, but it would be super cool to try McDonald’s version of a classic. Plus, you can even order it with a crispy chicken cutlet. 8. Poland – Maestro burger This beef burger puts the American hamburger to shame. It comes in a specialty seeded bun, with a thick beef patty and melty cheddar cheese. On top of that, McDonald’s Poland slaps on bacon, pickles, crispy onion, lettuce, special mayo, and a sweet barbecue sauce. This is one monster of a burger. 7. Japan – Gracoro Burger Another shrimp burger, but this time from Japan. This burger features a patty of macaroni, shrimp, and white sauce with a breadcrumb crust. The patty is then served in a soft bun with cheese, shredded cabbage, and teriyaki sauce. 6. Malaysia – Cookies & Cream Pie This little treat is as delicious as it sounds. This is like your typical apple pie, except it’s filled with Oreo-style cookie filling and is served hot and crispy. When will this come to the US? 5. Singapore – Samurai burger This burger contains a beef patty that has been roasted in soy sauce to make it extra rich and salty. It is then topped with bacon, tomato, lettuce, cheese, and teriyaki sauce and is served on a toasted bun. 4. Australia – Chicken Parmi burger Chicken parm is a popular food in Australia, and McDonald’s down under has turned it into a burger. The Chicken Parmi Burger is complete with crispy crumbed chicken breast, parmigiana sauce, rasher bacon, jack cheese, lettuce, and a creamy cheese sauce. 3. Japan – Shaka Chiki Lots of McDonald’s around the world serve McShaker fries, which are essentially regular McDonald’s fries that get served with a sachet of seasoning that you can pour into the bag and shake to coat your fries. In Japan though, you can do this with a fried chicken patty too. It comes with a spicy, salty seasoning blend that you sprinkle over the chicken and enjoy. Simple, but delicious. 2. Mexico – McMollettes These are like a Mexican take on a McMuffin and are typically eaten for breakfast. They are an open muffin served with refried beans, a slice of cheese, and tomato salsa on top. These are like the breakfast burrito of the US, if it was actually good. 1. UK – Chicken and Bacon Caesar McWrap You’re probably still mourning the loss of the snack wrap in the US after it was discontinued. Well, if you ever find yourself in the UK, you’re in luck because they have a whole range of wraps like sweet chili chicken, barbecue chicken, garlic mayo chicken, and the newest, a chicken and bacon Caesar wrap. You’ve probably already booked your flight.

7/11 unveils new ‘hot dog’ flavored drink, but is it real? 7/117-Eleven have unveiled their strangest drink flavor yet and customers are convinced that it’s so gross, it can’t be real. 7-Eleven have teamed up with seltzer brand Miracle Seltzer, which is a company that is somewhere between a apparel brand and an art project, to make four new sparking seltzer drinks. The first three flavors —Lemon Lime, Green Apple, and Sweet Orange—are what you would expect of this kind of drink, but the fourth flavor is hot dog water flavored. That’s right, it tastes like the water that those gas station hot dogs come in, complete with mustard and ketchup. In a press release, 7-Eleven explained the vision behind the drink, “Gone are the days of alternating bites of a hot dog with sips of a beverage, because now those on the go can swap the bun for bubbles.” The convenience store chain announced that more details would be released on April 1 and fans don’t know what to think. One person on Instagram commented, “Will be drinking it next to that macaroni n cheese scented candle.” and another said, “For a good second, I thought this was a parody… if 7-Eleven releases this, they might as well release mustard and ketchup energy drinks..” However, the announcement of further details on April 1 have some fans thinking this might just be a big prank, with one saying, “April Fools’ joke, but it’s a little early.” Only time will tell if you’ll be able to sample the true essence of those gas station rollers in liquid form.

15 best Starbucks frappuccinos according to an ex-barista StarbucksAs a former Starbucks barista, I’ve tried every frappuccino under the sun, and here’s a definitive guide to the best Starbucks frappuccinos to kickstart your summer. Although Starbucks often do some pretty tasty seasonal frappuccinos throughout the year, these won’t be included on the list to ensure that you’ll be able to try them out year-round. That being said, the frappuccinos they all time time are the ideal treat for a hot day. The best Starbucks frappuccinos ranked The ingredients for each of the frappuccinos are listed, as well as what they taste like, so that you can see which one you’re in the mood for. 15. Strawberries crème What’s in it: It’s a flavorless frappuccino with strawberry puree swirled around the cup. Honest review: This drink is only okay and is definitely not the best frappuccino. Because the flavoring is added after the drink is blended, you get some gulps that have way too much strawberry and some that don’t have enough. To make this better, I recommend adding vanilla syrup because that will actually be blended in with your drink. Also, ask for some extra strawberry puree swirled around the cup. 14. Vanilla bean What’s in it: Milk, ice, cream frappuccino base, and vanilla syrup with whipped cream on top. Honest review: This drink is the best Starbucks frappuccino if you’re a child, or someone looking for something pretty simple. It tastes like vanilla ice cream, which is a classic treat for a hot day. If you want to pimp this drink a little, you could add hazelnut syrup to make it taste like french vanilla, and add coffee if you want an extra hit. 13. Espresso frappuccino What’s in it: Espresso, simple syrup, coffee frappuccino base, milk, and ice. Honest review: The flavor of this drink really depends on which Starbucks store you go to. Because the main element is the espresso, if the coffee machines are not calibrated properly, your drink could end up too watery or too bitter. Most stores should test their machines twice a day though so this drink is pretty nice if you’re after something not too sweet. This drink comes without cream as standard, but add it if you want more of a treat. 12. Caramel cream What’s in it: Caramel syrup, milk, ice, cream frappuccino base, whipped cream and caramel drizzle. Honest review: The coffee counterpart of this drink comes a lot higher up the list, but this one is pretty tasty too. The caramel drizzle is like liquid gold so definitely ask for some to be drizzled around the cup. Also, this drink tastes like a honeycomb if you add some pumps of white mocha syrup too. 11. Chocolate cream What’s in it: Mocha syrup, milk, ice, and cream frappuccino base. Honest review: This is just chocolate milk’s cooler older sibling. If you want to have this one dairy-free, you can order it with nut blend milk (or any dairy alternative) and add vegan whip on top. This is because the mocha syrup doesn’t actually have any chocolate in it. Big day for lactose intolerant people. 10. Mocha frappuccino What’s in it: Same as the chocolate cream frappuccino, but with coffee added. Honest review: This is one of the classics and is hard to beat if you’re a fan of chocolate and coffee (who isn’t?) If you’ve ever had a hot mocha, this is just the blended version of it. If you want something a little bit different, try adding peppermint syrup for a refreshing mint chocolate drink. 9. Pistachio frappuccino What’s in it: Coffee, coffee frappuccino base, pistachio syrup, milk, ice, and whipped cream. Honest review: This frappuccino will transport you to a sunny beach in Italy, it’s that good. Although pistachio isn’t to everyone’s tastes, if you like it, this drink is a dream. If you want to upgrade it, add some white mocha syrup to make it creamer. One thing working at Starbucks for five years taught me is that everything is better with white mocha. 8. Mocha cookie crumble What’s in it: Coffee, coffee frappuccino base, milk, mocha syrup, cookie crumble, ice, whipped cream, and chocolate drizzle. Honest review: This drink is like the mocha frappuccino but with some extra oomph (and sugar.) It’s basically a chocolate and coffee-flavored milkshake with crumbled cookie pieces blended in and with chocolate drizzle on top. it may seem like a lot of chocolate, but the coffee cuts through quite nicely, balancing out the intense sweetness. Add vanilla if you want the cookie flavor to come through more. 7. Cookies and cream What’s in it: Milk, ice, cream frappuccino base, cookie crumble, and whipped cream Honest review: This one is similar to the strawberry frappuccino because there is no actual flavor, just cookie bits blended in. The drink is great on its own as the cookie pieces are really fresh. If you want to make it taste like Oreos, though, add white mocha to the mix. 6. White mocha frappuccino What’s in it: White mocha syrup, milk, ice, coffee, coffee frappuccino base and whipped cream. Honest review: White chocolate mocha syrup is pretty much just condensed milk, which means it’s sweet, gooey, and delicious. To make this frappuccino even better, add two pumps of hazelnut syrup to make it taste like a Kinder Bueno candy bar. 5. Java chip frappuccino What’s in it: coffee, coffee frappuccino base, milk, ice, mocha syrup, chocolate chips, and whipped cream. Honest review: Okay – now we’re into the top five best frappuccinos at Starbucks. A word of advice with this one, if you order a java chip frappuccino, you’ll get coffee in it. If you order a double chocolate-chip frappuccino, you won’t get any coffee. Remember that, as it causes confusion at Drive-thrus across the globe. This drink is pretty good if you’re a chocolate lover and you can add mocha drizzle to kick it up a notch. 4. Frozen mango dragonfruit lemonade What’s in it: mango puree, strawberry puree, lemonade, ice, and dried dragonfruit pieces. Honest review: Although not technically a frappuccino, this blended beverage is great for when you don’t want something too creamy. To make this drink even better, add a couple of pumps of peach syrup for a tropical fruit party in a cup. This also makes a great cocktail base… 3. Ferrero Rocher frappuccino What’s in it: Ask for a java chip frappuccino with two pumps of hazelnut syrup, two pumps of caramel syrup and caramel drizzle on top. Honest review: This drink is off the secret menu, and many people feel apprehensive about ordering these in case they annoy their barista. Speaking from experience, all you need to do is know what goes in the drink you are asking for and there shouldn’t be any problems. There are more tips on how the secret menu works here. Besides that, this drink is great and does actually taste exactly like a Ferrero Rocher. 2. Caramel coffee frappuccino What’s in it: Coffee, coffee frappuccino base, milk, caramel syrup, ice, whipped cream, and the all-important caramel drizzle. Honest review: This is definitely the most popular frappuccino at Starbucks, and there’s a good reason why baristas end up making about 100 of them per shift – it’s delicious. Caramel and coffee is a hard combo to beat. Just make sure you ask for extra caramel drizzle around the cup as that’s the best bit. 1. Red velvet cinnamon roll frappuccino – The best Starbucks frappuccino you’ve never heard of What’s in it: Ask for a mocha frappuccino with half normal mocha and half white mocha syrup, add two pumps cinnamon dolce syrup, and two pumps raspberry syrup. Honest review: This one may seem pretty out there, but coming from someone who made them for years, they are delicious. I don’t know who invented this but thank the coffee gods that they did because it’s so delicious and the raspberry really works. This is it, this is the best frappuccino from Starbucks, according to someone who used to make frappuccinos for a living. How are Starbucks frappuccinos made? Starbucks have two types of frappuccinos: cream-based and coffee-based. Cream-based frappuccinos are made with whole milk and a cream frappuccino ‘base’ which is like a thick, sweetened syrup that doesn’t have any flavor but allows the drinks to blend smoothly and stops them becoming gritty with ice. The coffee frappuccinos are very similar, but they obviously have coffee in them. The coffee used in frappuccinos is not the same that you’ll find in your latte, though. It is a special kind of instant coffee that is brewed cold and pumped into the blender when making frappuccinos. This stuff is bitter and couldn’t be drank alone, but works well when blended. If you find that you don’t like the coffee in the frappuccinos, try asking for your drink to be made with espresso, it will make the drink less thick too. All frappuccinos work on this base drink, and then have flavors and toppings added to make a wide range of beverages. Like all drinks at Starbucks, you can customize frappuccinos, so to find your favorite I recommend playing around with syrups and toppings to create your own – just don’t go ham and ruin your barista’s day… If you’re someone who plans on drinking a lot of frappuccinos this summer, you might want to see how you can get a Starbucks gold card. And, if you’re a fan of cold drinks in general, check out these Dairy Queen Blizzards from the secret menu.

Best chicken nuggets 2024: A definitive ranking Eat This Not ThatThe humble chicken nugget is a quintessential part of any fast food meal, but even though they are a simple delicacy, they do vary greatly from chain to chain – let’s look at which chicken nuggets are the best. We’ll only be looking at straight-up chicken nuggets in this list – no tenders, wings, or boneless wings (even though they are nuggets in disguise). That being said, there are some iterations of the classic nug that just come in different shapes. We’ll be ranking based on the crispiness of the outer coating, the quality of the chicken, and the overall flavor of the nugget itself. Let’s get into it. Best chicken nuggets ranked 10. Burger King – Chicken nuggets Burger King’s nuggets are good, but they’re no whoppers. These chicken nuggets get merit for their chicken-y flavor that trumps a lot of other nuggets out there that pack so much flavor into the coating that you can’t taste the chicken, and in that regard, BK really stands out. Chicken quality: 10/10 – juicy, tender, and clearly high-quality. – Coating crispiness: 5/10 – suitably crispy, but there is at least one soggy one per pack. – Overall flavor: 6/10 – great chicken, okay coating, quintessential nugget-y flavor. – 9. KFC – Popcorn chicken KFC’s popcorn chicken is a staple item on their menu, and the perfect little ball of joy to dip into some gravy, but what lets them down is the chicken quality. That being said, the coating is superior to others with its distinctive black pepper flavoring. Chicken quality: 5/10 – the chicken element of these is minimal and other nuggets definitely have more meat. – Coating crispiness: 9/10 – The coating tastes amazing, and there is lots of it, but it can verge on greasy. – Overall flavor: 7/10 – Definitely skimping on the chicken, but it makes room for that delicious coating so it’s forgivable. – 8. Carl’s Jr. – Chicken stars C’mon, if you think you’re too old for fun-shaped food, you’re wrong. Because no fast food place sells chicken dinos (yet) these chicken stars are the next best thing. The chicken is kind of dry, and the coating could do with more seasoning – but they’re crispy and cute. Chicken quality: 7/10 – the chicken element of these is minimal and other nuggets definitely have more meat. – Coating crispiness: 10/10 – The coating tastes amazing, and there is lots of it, but it can verge on greasy. – Overall flavor: 7/10 – Definitely skimping on the chicken, but it makes room for that delicious coating so it’s forgivable. – 7. McDonald’s – Spicy McNuggets Some of you might not be happy to hear this, but the ever-elusive spicy McNuggets from McDonald’s is not the best nugget out there. The spicy coating on the classic McNugget adds no real flavor, but that being said, it’s still a McNugget, so it’s still really good. Chicken quality: 5/10 – the chicken in these is indistinguishable texture-wise, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. – Coating crispiness: 8/10 – Crispy as expected, but a little thin with flavorless heat. – Overall flavor: 7/10 – The classic McDonald’s nugget but slightly worsened, still good though. – 6. Wendy’s – Crispy chicken nuggets These nuggets get a gold star for their size. They’re chunky nuggets and Wendy’s has perfected the coating to chicken ratio. The coating also has a nice kick of black pepper and you won’t find any greasiness on these bad boys. Chicken quality: 8/10 – Solid chicken content here, perfectly tender and juicy. – Coating crispiness: 8/10 – Perfectly crispy and flavorful – Overall flavor: 8/10 – These nuggets deserve a cult following. – 5. Jack in the Box – Chicken nuggets Jack in the Box has been around since the 50s, but they didn’t launch nuggets until 2012. Considering how good these are, we only wish we could have had them sooner. They are a little on the small side, but they still have a good chicken content. Chicken quality: 9/10 – Really juicy and tender, exactly what you want. – Coating crispiness: 8/10 – tasty black pepper seasoning, always crisp. – Overall flavor: 8/10 – So good you don’t even need a dip, and you can order them at breakfast. – 4. Wendy’s – Sauced nuggets These new nuggets were launched at the beginning of June and come in seven flavors. Wendy’s staff coat these thoroughly in sauce and somehow, the coating doesn’t get soggy at all. The best one is the ghost pepper coating, but honestly, they’re all great. Chicken quality: 8/10 – Good as expected, but not the star of the show. – Coating crispiness: 8/10 – They stay crispy even though they’re coated in awesome sauces, fast food magic. – Overall flavor: 8/10 – Wendy’s has changed the nugget game with these ones. – 3. Popeye’s – Chicken nuggets Popeye’s are relatively new to the nugget scene, but being experts in the chicken world has certainly helped them here. Their nuggets launched in 2021, and have been perfect from the start. The nuggets have a buttermilk breading with Popeye’s signature seasoning that makes them stand out among the crowd. Chicken quality: 8/10 – It could be juicier, but we’re not mad about it – Coating crispiness: 20/10 – Literally perfect, so crispy and with the taste of any good fried chicken. – Overall flavor: 9/10 – The chicken is okay, but the coating is out of this world. – 2. Chick-fil-A – Chicken nuggets These nuggets are pressure-cooked and made with high-quality chicken, and you can really taste the difference. They’re so juicy without ever being oily, and the coating has that nice golden brown color that you know is always crispy. No need to reinvent the wheel, Chick-fil-A has just made a good quality nugget that comes out very close to the top. Chicken quality: 10/10 – You can tell this is high-quality stuff. – Coating crispiness: 9/10 – Golden brown, never soggy, just what you want. – Overall flavor: 9.5/10 – A perfect take on a classic. – 1. McDonald’s – McNuggets You probably already knew these would be number one. McNuggets are the OGs of the chicken nugget world, and for good reason. The chicken never has gristle and is that perfect blend of processed (which we all want for a nugget) and high-quality. The coating is kind of thin, but so tasty and has its own unique flavor. Just consistently tasty, the McNugget is always there and it always hits the spot. Chicken quality: 7/10 – Good quality but still that processed nugget taste you’re looking for. – Coating crispiness: 10/10 – Tasty and iconic, McDonald’s does it right. – Overall flavor: 10/10 – The OG, the quintessential chicken nugget. – Chicken deals across chains If you want to test out some of these nuggets for yourself, there are a few chicken nugget deals going on at the minute at different chains.

The Mountain shares pro boxer sparring footage ahead of Eddie Hall fight YouTube: Hafthor Bjornsson[jwplayer lIlbeLYm] Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, better known as Game of Thrones’ Gregor Clegane or ‘The Mountain,’ has revealed footage of him sparring with a professional boxer in the lead-up to his fight with fellow strongman Eddie Hall. On May 2, The Mountain challenged Hall to a boxing match after breaking his deadlift world record, and before long the two set up a planned date to fight in September 2021. With a year still to go before the fight is scheduled to take place, there is still a decent amount of time for preparation. By the looks of it, Björnsson is already on his way to putting in a good performance. In previous weeks, Hall has also been showing off sparring footage and looking very in the ring, making some fans of The Mountain a little worried about his chances when the fight rolls around. This new footage, though, sees Björnsson looking fairly accustomed to the ring and the sport itself, showing off both his strengths and weaknesses as a boxer. This is the first time The Mountain has shared sparring footage, claiming that he “almost knocked out” his opponents. As his impressed viewers say in the comments, his footwork, accuracy and hand speed aren’t looking too shabby, as well as his navigation of the ring. As he says at the end of the video, Bjornsson picked opponents that are similar in size and stature to Hall, making him as prepared as possible for how the fight might play out and what he’ll be coming up against. On the other side of the fight, Hall has been looking impressive and like a more natural boxer than The Mountain, and is quite fast considering his weight (with the size of these fighters, speed isn’t something you should expect). Nonetheless, Hafþór looks like he can really pack a punch — which isn’t much of a surprise — and you’ll need some serious endurance to take those hits and not feel it, though the same could be said for Eddie, too. With the improvements both fighters are making over time, the betting man might still lean towards a Hall win, though anything could happen between now and fight night.

Strongman Eddie Hall attempts insane Navy Seal Fitness Test Eddie Hall (YouTube)Former World’s Strongest Man turned boxer, Eddie ‘The Beast’ Hall, took on one his most daunting challenges to-date with Gymshark’s Ross Edgley — and the results are quite surprising. In terms of feats of strength, Eddie Hall has done it all. After winning World’s Strongest Man 2017, and breaking both the deadlift and axle press world records, Eddie has turned his hand to the sport of boxing. With a super-heavyweight clash between Eddie and Iceland’s Hafthor ‘The Mountain’ Bjornsson on the cards, Hall has been taking on new challenges with his training, in a bid to shed some pounds and become a lot fitter in the process. With that in mind, Hall paired up with arguably one of the fittest humans on the planet in Ross Edgley. Ross has an impressive portfolio by his own accord — swam around the UK in 157 days, climbed a rope the height of Mount Everest (8,848 meters) and ran a marathon pulling a car — but the Navy Seal Fitness Test is a different ball game altogether. Eddie Hall is a Navy Seal? The Navy Seal Fitness Test (NSFT) is a tried and tested way of filtering out those fit enough to endure the arduous training involved with becoming a Navy Seal. In terms of the bare minimum, prospective Seals are expected to be able to perform five basic physical tasks to determine whether they have what it takes. These are: 500-yard Swim (in 12:30 mins or less). – Minimum of 50 push-ups in two minutes. – Minimum of 50 sit-ups in two minutes. – Minimum of 10 pull-ups in two minutes. – 1.5-mile run (in 10:30 mins or less). – And while Eddie was no doubt out of his comfort zone with a more endurance-based challenge, he chalked up some impressive results nonetheless. After breezing past the minimum standard in the push-up test, Eddie scraped through the sit-up and pull-up test by just hitting the pass mark. But it was the 1.5-mile run that was to be the strongman’s demise, as he failed to hit the minimum standard, by clocking in with 11:27 mins — still impressive for a 26st 1lb / 366 lbs man. But after failing to hit the mark on the run, Hall eased his way through the 500-yard swim, with an incredible time of 9:50 mins. Although, the strongman had a slight edge here, given that he swam at an elite level for Great Britain during his youth. Nonetheless, given that Eddie managed to pass 4/5 of the events, it’s obvious that his work in preparation for his bout with The Mountain is paying dividends.

MattDoesFitness reveals the insane cost of his home gym renovation YouTube: MattDoesFitnessBritish fitness guru and social media influencer Matt ‘MattDoesFitness’ Morsia has completely transformed his home gym — but the cost of the renovations was nothing to sneeze at. [jwplayer mgzBNoPb] Morsia is one of the fitness community’s biggest internet stars; boasting over 1.9 million subscribers on YouTube and 898,000 followers on Instagram, his honest approach to fitness and crazy physical challenges have earned him as substantial audience. Of course, it stands to reason that someone so dedicated to working out would have their own home gym (especially in a time where going to the gym could put one at risk) — but for Morsia, it’s more than just another room in his home. For this influencer, the gym is his office, which he explained in the beginning of his video on the topic. He clarified that much of the equipment in his gym had been provided by his sponsors, and since it “directly contributes” to his salary, he chose only the most top-tier brands — something he claimed the average person does not need to do for their own home gym experience. https://www.instagram.com/p/CF1zFRtga0B/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link That being said, Matt went on to reveal the exact cost of the space, and it’s enough to make your jaw drop to the floor (or at least a fair wince). As for the building itself, he spent a grand total of £34,000 (or $43,979), which isn’t actually part of his house. Instead, he commissioned the space to be completely “built from scratch” in the back garden — further compounding on its comparison to a true office space. Combined with his equipment — the most expensive part of which was his £2,790 ($3,608) dual cable pulley — the entire gym ended up costing him £47,999 ($62,073). That’s nothing to sneeze at! Morsia was quick to inform viewers that much of his equipment is no longer available for purchase due to the current global climate, and that other parts of the space — such as the bumper plates for his squat rack — were built by hand. All in all, Morsia’s home gym is an impressive project that cost an equally impressive amount of cash, but when it’s your livelihood on the line, no price is too high for a quality workout.

Pro bodybuilder Greg Doucette claims UFC’s Israel Adesanya is on PEDs YouTube: Greg Doucette / Instagram: stylebenderIFBB bodybuilder and fitness YouTuber Greg Doucette has accused UFC Middleweight Champion, Israel Adesanya, of taking performance-enhancing drugs, after he defended his title against Paulo Costa. The UFC or ‘Ultimate Fighting Championship’ recently held yet another event, UFC 253, on September 27, with a stacked ‘Fight Island’ card in Abu Dhabi. The main event saw two undefeated fighters, Israel Adesanya and rising Brazilian star Paulo Costa, contend for the middleweight title. The reigning champ won the bout in dominant fashion, with a second round TKO. However, despite the Stylebender’s successful title defense, Adesanya was met with a lot of criticism following the fight, particularly from popular personalities in the fitness world, who were suspicious of the Nigerian’s physique. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFpiF7JnIyX/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Having competed as a professional kickboxer since 2010, Israel Adesanya has had an impressive record as an athlete even before signing to the UFC. But, pro bodybuilder Greg Doucette claimed he spotted something in his recent bout that suggested he was taking PEDs. During Docuette’s latest installment of ‘Natty or Not,’ a popular series where he analyzes an athlete to determine whether they are natural, the fitness coach claimed that Adesanya has Gynecomastia, a common physical side-effect seen with PED users. “Adesanya is so cocky, he thinks he’s so good it’s unbelievable, meanwhile he’s cheating.” he claimed, “He is cheating for sure.” The side effect, which is seen around the pectoral muscles in those who use different forms of hormone therapy, suggested to Doucette that he may have been taking testosterone ahead of his fight. After pointing out the difference in Adesanya’s physique with photos from only a year prior, Doucette claimed that he was “sure” he had cheated, and revealed that there were ways for the drugs to leave your body quickly, which would prevent USADA and the UFC from discovering any use of PEDs. However, it is worth noting that while Doucette seemed confident in his claims, there are other ways for this bizarre attribute to appear such as with drastic changes in body weight, so it is difficult to be completely sure. Adesanya has not responded to the claims from Greg Doucette or those from other fitness influencers who have highlighted his recent physique.

Larry Wheels beats Eddie Hall’s insane dumbbell press world record Larry Wheels (YouTube)YouTube star Larry Wheels is known for his insane feats of strength, but this might have just topped the pack, as he bested Eddie Hall’s 110 kg/242 lbs record from January 2020. Eddie Hall is a man best known for his long-standing deadlift world record, as well as winning 2017’s World’s Strongest Man in controversial fashion. Widely regarded as one of the strongest ‘static lifters’ of all time, it’s difficult to imagine that a man almost 100 lbs lighter could ever match Eddie’s level of strength. But that’s exactly what Larry Wheels managed to do in his most recent attempt to take down another long-standing (and crazy) world record. Larry Wheels presses 242 lbs for reps After he ‘failed’ his first attempt — by only managing one and half repetitions with weights banded onto the heaviest dumbbells in his gym — Larry revisited the challenge by taping the weights together. With a more stable grip, Larry pressed the 110 kg/242 lbs dumbbells for three reps — two more than what Eddie managed with the same weight! For context, the average woman weighs 170 lbs, and the average man clocks in at around 198 lbs. So Larry is literally pressing two fully grown humans and then some! This comes just over a year after Larry Wheels tore his bicep while training Atlas Stones in preparation for his first official Strongman contest. Despite injuring his arm severely, the 25-year-old recovered and continued to train heavy. Larry documented his struggles with rehabbing his bicep injury — but didn’t let this hold him back. In March 2020, Larry managed to break the Powerlifting world record, by compiling a total of 2,370 lbs lifting in Squat (870 lbs), Bench (645 lbs), and Deadlift (855 lbs) — edging past the previous total by just 0.1 lbs!

MattDoesFitness reveals $650,000 house renovation with home gym MattDoesFitness (YouTube)Popular fitness YouTuber, Matt ‘MattDoesFitness’ Morsia, has given fans a sneak peek into his $650k+ house renovation, complete with his very own home gym. MattDoesFitness is a name synonymous with the YouTube Fitness industry. Having been in the game since 2013, Morsia has built a sizable following of almost two million subscribers. The Gymshark athlete will often post videos on ridiculous eating challenges to absurd feats of strength. Having collaborated with the likes of Eddie Hall and Ross Edgley, Matt often finds himself taking on any obstacle — from swimming in a frozen lake to strongman training. But the star of the show, no doubt, is his son Luca, who often features in the opening segments of a video as part of a skit. And the theme remains much the same in their $650,000 house tour video. MattDoesFitness unveils £500k+ house plan Back in early June 2020, Matt made the plunge and snagged his new house. Shortly after, fans had a tour of the house, but he’s since remained silent about his plans to make changes to the property. Now, Morsia has gone into detail about the changes coming in the next few months. And aside from the existing home gym (which was finalized back in August), it looks like the vast majority is being repurposed into an ultra-modern, open plan house. Complete with a slide and climbing frame (yes, that’s right), MattDoesFitness explained how they’ll be looking to knock down the majority of the walls and completely revamp the house to suit their modern look. Of course, he estimates the project will set them back north of $650,000 — and it’s easy to see why, with all of the structural changes being made. Naturally, this will serve as the ‘before,’ and the finished product will likely be showcased on Matt’s channel as and when the massive project is finished.

KSI’s coach Viddal explains Thor’s biggest weaknesses ahead of Eddie Hall boxing match YouTube: Hafthor BjornssonThe long-awaited matchup between Hafþór ‘Thor’ Björnsson and Eddie ‘The Beast’ Hall is set for September 2021, but KSI’s boxing coach Viddal Riley is already seeing holes in the former’s game that needs improvement. [jwplayer smynPnSq] The 23-year-old trainer is squarely in Hall’s corner for the matchup, but gave Björnsson’s pro boxing debut an honest look. While he liked how the 2018 World’s Strongest Man looked in the ring, his technique in trading blows has to be better, according to Riley. “Thor, don’t run in again,” the coach said after seeing the 6’-9’’ fighter leaning too far into his jabs and charging into his opponent. While he did see a lot of things that needed improvement, KSI’s trainer said it was typical for a new boxer to find his range with those kinds of swings. Riley identified that his jab looked more like ‘paw’ in that Björnsson swung at his opponent instead of looking to land a straight hit. By extension, this makes it hard for the boxer to pinpoint his range, hurting his chances at landing meaningful blows. (Timestamp at 10:50 for mobile viewers) This contributed to the weakest part of Björnsson’s game that Riley thinks needs to improve before the September fight against Hall: getting pushed back. “What you got to worry about, if you’re Thor, is that if Steven Ward is pushing you back, I’m pretty sure [Eddie Hall] can push him back,” he said. Maintaining your position in combat sports is pivotal to not only executing your game plan but keep from getting tired so early in a fight. The 32-year-old lost about 110lbs (50kg), so there’s no question that he’s committed to giving himself the best chance against Hall. However, Riley thinks that he still has a way to go before his dance with The Beast. Some of the problems are only going to get fixed by spending more rounds in the squared circle, but KSI’s coach simply doesn’t want to see the hulking Thor lunging into his opponents. Both Hall and Björnsson have been seen tirelessly training for their boxing career, and both have a few more months to clean up their form before they meet in the ring.

Eddie Hall reveals ripped body in brutal training regime for Thor fight Eddie Hall (YouTube)Eddie ‘The Beast’ Hall has been honing in on getting as fit and as shredded as possible ahead of his boxing match with Hafthor ‘The Mountain’ Bjornsson. After snagging the long-standing deadlift world record from Eddie Hall, albeit in controversial circumstances, Hafthor Bjornsson challenged the Brit to a super-heavyweight boxing match to finally put their beef to bed. In the early stages of build-up, the pair have been vocal on their intentions and are both stepping into the ring with one thing on their mind — to land a knockout blow on their rival. While Hafthor has previously revealed his weight loss transformation, Eddie has been less vocal on that front. While his Instagram is littered with topless images, he hadn’t backed this up with hard-hitting numbers. Until now. Eddie Hall’s insane physique transformation Putting Eddie’s strongman physique next to his current shape highlights the amount of hard work that’s gone into his transformation. At his heaviest, The Beast was sat at 433 lbs / 196 kg. Fast forward some years later, and Hall says that he’s sitting at 360 lbs / 163 kg. And while he’s dropped over 70 lbs in body weight, Hall claims to be losing body fat while still making marginal gains in muscle mass. This is, no doubt, thanks to his crazy training regime — which is based on completely high-intensity intervals for short bursts and then resting for small periods of time. On top of his explosive training, Eddie is improving his endurance to supplement his boxing prowess. Completing the Navy Seal Fitness Test with Ross Edgley showed just how far the former strongman’s work capacity has come. After Hafthor recently claimed his tenth successive Iceland’s Strongest Man win, both fighters now have their sights firmly set on their Las Vegas fight, which is penned in for September 2021.

Joe Rogan explains why he takes testosterone supplements Spotify: Joe RoganJoe Rogan’s diet and lifestyle is often the subject of scrutiny from his millions of fans, as his JRE podcast regularly puts a focus on personal wellbeing. He has now explained why he supplements testosterone, citing the myriad health benefits it apparently gives. The podcaster and UFC commentator has been very open about his personal health journey, documenting his meat-only diet, which he is now back on – despite the side-effects he reported in 2020. He’s now also delved into another unique aspect of his diet, which includes supplements for testosterone. Speaking with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe in his Spotify podcast, Rogan cited age as one of the primary reasons. “As you get older, your body is going to produce less hormones. You can either accept that, which many people do, you can be embarrassed about wanting to replenish your hormones, as many people are,” Rogan starts. “[People] are embarrassed about admitting it, they’re embarrassed about discussing it, they want to dismiss the idea they would ever do it.” Read More: Jake Paul wants to fight Floyd Mayweather – His reasoning for taking these supplements is “really simple,” pointing to the fact that many “jacked doctors” he had spoken to recommended it. “It’s really simple – I want my body to work better, I want it to perform better,” Rogan continued. “So I talked to doctors, and I like to talk to jacked doctors. The doctors that I know, that work in hormone replacement, they’re all like in their 60s, and they look like they’re in their 40s.” Topic starts at 34:00 But, it’s not as straightforward as simply adding in supplements to your existing diet. Rogan explains that there are a number of important checks to be completed first. “First, you go to a really good doctor, you get your bloodwork monitored, you find out what your hormone levels are right now. First thing they do is adjust your nutrition, they want to make sure you’re eating healthy food.” Read More: PewDiePie could be trying to dodge tax – In addition to diet, the amount of sleep you get is also crucial in the determination of hormone supplements. At 53 years old, Rogan’s lifestyle is perhaps testament to the success the supplementation of hormones is having. He explains that he is still weight lifting regularly, and attends kickboxing classes. “When I was a kid, 53-year-olds were barely alive,” he concludes. Joe’s podcast episodes are now exclusively available on Spotify, although he does upload small segments to his YouTube channel, where he still boasts over 10 million subscribers. His move to Spotify is still drawing the ire of some regular listeners though, who are letting him know all about it.

Dr Disrespect roasts NICKMERCS “camera tricks” and challenges him to a weight-lifting contest Dr Disrespect / Twitch: NICKMERCSDr Disrespect or NICKMERCS – who’s the more impressive physical specimen? That’s what the Doc wants to determine with a weight-lifting contest, roasting Mercs’ “flexing” and “camera tricks” on stream. NICKMERCS has recently started workout streams on his channel, mixed in with his usual Warzone and Fortnite content. But, when Dr Disrespect gave his YouTube viewers a glimpse of his guns on stream, viewers were quick to compare the two. Doc explains that he “hasn’t worked out in months” – perhaps due to gym closures – but then revealed a bulging bicep. “When you’re a genetic freak of nature, when you’ve got hand-eye coordination, reaction time, and agility, you’re going to be shredded,” he explained. A fan soon donated to spark the rivalry: “Hey Doc, Mercs is crying over those guns!” The Doc then began his impersonation of Nick – flexing his neck and trap muscles. “All his traps flexing, I mean, look how big I look – it’s camera tricks! I’ll tell you right now, here’s what I’ll do, I’m going to throw it out there. I’ll fly to Florida, and meet him in his own gym.” Topic starts at 31:45 “We’ll have a little workout session, we’ll do arms,” the Doc finishes. There’s no doubt that a workout stream with NICKMERCS and Dr Disrespect together would be a massive occasion – but there’s a slight problem. As the Doc is still permanently banned, he would not be able to appear on Nick’s stream at all. Instead, it would likely have to be a YouTube video – one we’d definitely like to see.

Yoshi-P tells Asmongold how FFXIV caters for new and hardcore players Asmongold/Square EnixIn an interview with Asmongold and fellow streamer, Rich Campbell, Final Fantasy XIV producer Yoshi-P was asked how the game manages to cater to both new and hardcore players. Asmongold and Rich Campbell interviewed FFXIV producer Yoshi-P in anticipation of the game’s next expansion Endwalker. Asmon started by saying that MMOs don’t seem to be as popular as they used to be. However, games like FFXIV and New World seem to be leading a resurgence. Yoshi explained that MMOs must compete with many types of entertainment today, including other games. He also said that many players don’t have the time to sink hundreds of hours into one title. He went on to say that developers need to remember that MMOs are a service and one that needs to cater to different types of gamers. Catering for different Final Fantasy XIV players Asmon and Rich questioned how a game like FFXIV manages to cater to casual players, who may want to jump online and play a few quests, but also remain appealing to hardcore players. Yoshi said that developers just need to understand their players and make sure different play styles are accounted for when content is developed. This way, all players feel catered for, which is important because casual and hardcore players all support MMO games. He said: “Some players just want to explore or chat with other gamers, while others are hardcore raiders. There are so many different kinds of people playing MMOs, sharing our world. We don’t want to neglect people just because they’re causal or heavy gamers. Our world is being supported by all these different types of players.” Speaking about Final Fantasy XIV’s next patch Yoshi said: “Patch 6.1 will add some casual content. But we do intend on implementing the new ultimate raid so the hardcore players have something to look forward to. I want to satisfy both ends of the spectrum.” How FFXIV caters for new players Rich asked Yoshi how FFXIV manages to appeal to new players without them feeling overwhelmed. Yoshi explained that the development team pays close attention to new players and works hard to create an environment they can enjoy. Yoshi explained: “What are these new players thinking about when they start FFXIV from scratch? We can’t go back to old content for this. These opinions are always very interesting to see and I’m always curious what kind of reactions they are getting when seeing this content for the first time. Are there any areas we need to adjust? This helps us open up that funnel and welcome new players in.” FFXIV’s welcoming community As well as engaging openly with FFXIV fans, Yoshi also thinks that the community deserves a portion of the credit for helping new players join in. But believes experienced players can sometimes be overly keen when helping new players progress, which risks stifling them and hindering that player’s own journey of discovery. “I’m very proud of our community, they’re very kind and very welcoming. When a new player comes in, they’re quick to help and I think we’ve got one of the best communities in the world. But I hope our veteran players let the new players have some of this discovery for themselves. You’re supposed to enjoy the journey. I hope people prioritize having fun.”

Will Final Fantasy 16 be revealed soon? Mystery Twitter page sparks rumor Square Enix[jwplayer hRlzg0BA]A cryptic Twitter account has sparked rumors that Final Fantasy 16 might be announced soon. Could the mysterious social media page hint at Square Enix revealing the role-playing game in the near future? Developer Square Enix returned to its roots in 2020 with the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake in April. The RPG was praised for its gorgeous re-creation of Midgar, and its re-imagining of popular characters such as Cloud Strife and Aerith. Despite its success, fans have been wondering when the next game in the mainline series will be revealed – after all 15 came out in 2016. However on August 31, a Twitter account was discovered that could hint at an announcement being imminent. Could Square Enix reveal Final Fantasy 16 soon? Final Fantasy 15 released over three years ago, after being in development for close to a decade. The popular RPG focused on Prince Noctis and his best friends as they took a road trip across the world of Eos. While FF7 Remake was a massive hit with critics and fans, the Japanese developer has said very little about the 16th entry into its long-running series. However on August 31, social media users discovered a Twitter account that could hint at Square’s next project. A page called ‘FF16_JP’ was created in August. When fans tried to reset the password of the account, the email associated with it appears to be tied to a company with the same amount of letters as Square Enix itself. Final Fantasy XVI #FF16 New twitter account created in August. Email looks like Square Enix. #FFXVI #PS5 pic.twitter.com/Ij4FwNctTs— ▶︎ PlayGamesMovies (@PlayGamesMovies) August 31, 2020 Before getting too excited, we should point out that this can be faked. In June, a trickster fooled many players into thinking Microsoft was preparing to announce a new Perfect Dark after creating a fake Twitter account. When resetting a password on an account, it only shows you the number of letters. So a prankster could easily register something that begins with S (for Square) and then have a bunch of random numbers that match up with the rest. Games have been leaked early in the past due to social media accounts being found, and fans resetting the password. In fact, Riot Games hit FPS Valorant was leaked before its name was even known after people found its Twitter page. It goes without saying, but take this rumor with a major grain of salt. While it’s interesting that the account was found, a trickster can easily fake it. Still, it’s also been over three years since FF15 came out, and the developer has already announce FF7 Remake 2 is in production. So fans can only hope they’ll get some sort of tidbit soon.

Yoshi-P shares game-changing advice for FFXIV players ahead of Endwalker release Square EnixFinal Fantasy XIV Online’s highly anticipated Endwalker expansion is only days away, and director Naoki ‘Yoshi-P’ Yoshida has some advice for avid FFXIV players. As Final Fantasy XIV Online’s first chapter comes to a close with the release of FFXIV Endwalker, Scions from across Eorzea are gearing up to dive into the end of all days. Some players have already been living out armageddon in with the highly coveted early access, but for many, December 7 marks the beginning of the game-changing fray. In the run-up to Endwalker, FFXIV’s director and fan-favorite icon, Yoshi-P, has revealed two things that fans need to keep in mind as they explore the Eorzea they know and love all over again. FFXIV director Yoshi-P’s advice for Endwalker During a Japanese Twitch patch notes reading featuring Yoshi-P and Square Enix’s manager and producer, Toshio ‘Foxclon’ Murouchi, the beloved director gave fans a few tidbits of advice to bear in mind during their Endwalker adventures. Firstly, he recommended that players don’t just stick to the main storyline, or MSQ quests. Advising players to do their specific role quests as these are coordinated with the base plot, he stresses the importance of these often sidelined assignments. Secondly, he urges players to turn off the mount music as they play through the game. As with any MMORPG, mounts are critical for efficiently getting you from A to B. In Final Fantasy, they are often accompanied by their own special scores that play over the base music. Stressing that the team put a lot of effort into the game’s atmospheric soundtrack, he tells players to try muting the mount music on their first playthrough. Players can toggle the music by typing “/mountbgm” in all chat. As we get ready to cast the darkness back into the shadows, we’ll be sure to keep Yoshi-P’s advice in mind. After all, he’s the true Warrior of Light, and his advice is unparalleled.

Why is the FFXIV community torn over new Xbox launch? Controversy explained Square EnixFFXIV players across the board have voiced their concerns about the requirements imposed on Xbox players, including a Game Pass subscription, and a separate digital currency. But why is it all so controversial? We take a closer look at what’s making the player base uneasy. Final Fantasy XIV is expanding its crossplay capabilities to include Xbox players from March 21. While the award-winning MMO finally landing on the Microsoft console is cause for celebration, there are some aspects of the launch which has the player base feeling torn. Alongside the Xbox launch are two additional requirements, players need to have an active Game Pass subscription, and they’ll need to use a new Xbox only digital currency — FFXIV coins. This has led to a great deal of controversy. Let’s break it all down. How is playing FFXIV on Xbox different from PC or PlayStation? According to the official announcement “Xbox Game Pass (Core or Ultimate) is required to play.” This means Xbox players will need to pay a Game Pass sub, as well as their monthly FFXIV subscription. This contrasts with PC and PS versions of the game. For example, a PS Plus membership isn’t a requirement for those playing FFXIV on PlayStation consoles. Likewise, those who’ve chosen to use the Steam platform to purchase their copy of FFXIV aren’t required to purchase any additional subscription from Valve. In addition to the Game Pass requirement, Xbox players will also be required to use a new in-game currency — FFXIV Coins. Square Enix’s official announcement states payments for players on the Xbox Series X|S “will be handled using FFXIV Coins only.” Meanwhile, players on PC or PlayStation are free to make purchases using the web-based storefront and their credit card, without the need for purchasing an additional digital currency. How will FFXIV Coins work? Square Enix have been releasing more information for Xbox players, now the game has officially launched for the platform. According to the terms and conditions for the virtual currency, coins purchased will be locked by region. “It is important you check your FFXIV account’s region. If you change the region of your Microsoft account, you may not be able to access your FFXIV Coins.” They state. But, players with Xbox and FFXIV accounts in differing regions have already been stung by the region locking. What makes the FFXIV Xbox requirements so controversial? While these two changes don’t affect the actual gameplay in any way, they are conditions that only exist for Xbox players. And that’s what’s got the community so frustrated. The community at large feels forcing Xbox players to purchase a Game Pass sub and a virtual currency is an unfair burden. There are a number of reasons for this. Most notably, Xbox players won’t be using any Microsoft servers to play FFXIV. They’ll be playing on servers owned by Square Enix, like the rest of the player base. The new Xbox-only currency, FFXIV Coins, also seems like a strange move to the community. While players who purchased their game through Steam have always had the option to pay for purchases at checkout with money in their Steam Wallet, they still used the same Mogstation storefront as standalone PC players and PlayStation players. However, Xbox players will be forced to make all of their transactions via FFXIV Coins. For many fans, this appears to be a needless extra step to purchase cosmetic items or game time. Another gripe from the community is the increments which coins are sold in. However, depending on a player’s region, it could end up being a little cheaper than paying through the Square Enix storefront. Are these requirements unique to FFXIV on Xbox? The complaints haven’t just come from Xbox players either, in fact, many of the loudest critics on social media have been PC and PlayStation players — neither of whom are directly affected by the requirements at all. This camaraderie across platforms isn’t unusual for FFXIV, which has a reputation for having a friendly and considerate player base. But it’s prompted thanks from the Xbox branch of the community. But can criticism of the policy really do anything to change it? Although the requirements might seem like a shock to players from other platforms, they’re part and parcel of the Microsoft ecosystem. And they’re certainly not unique to FFXIV. In fact, almost twenty years ago, when Final Fantasy XI made its debut on the Xbox 360, players needed a Silver or Gold Xbox Live subscription active to play. Previously, an active Gold Xbox Live sub was a requirement to play multiplayer games like Borderlands and Elder Scrolls Online too. And seeing as Xbox Live Gold was rebranded into Game Pass Core in September 2023, it’s not surprising that Microsoft’s attitude toward multiplayer games remains the same. This means it’s unlikely community sentiment will sway the policy anytime soon.

Why FFXIV’s newest feature makes it the perfect single-player MMO Square EnixFinal Fantasy XIV’s recently completed duty support feature has made the game one of the most perfect single-player MMO experiences on the market, allowing you to complete the story without needing to constantly interact with other players. MMORPGs can be some of the toughest games to get into for new players. Whether that be due to the several years of catching up, the multitude of systems to wrap your head around, or the tough grinds players have to undergo, even jumping into the genre can seem like a monumental task for some. Fortunately for Square Enix’s MMO Final Fantasy XIV, the game is built for easy entry into the genre, taking players through a story first and into the MMO afterward. Patch 6.5 for Final Fantasy XIV signified the completion of the Duty Support system, a new feature that allows players to enter dungeons with other NPCs, avoiding the need for other players. This means you could in theory complete most of the story of FFXIV without having to interact with other users if you prefer. Of course, this feature is entirely optional, and players are still able to queue up with others in order to complete content together. But with Final Fantasy XIV’s focus on delivering its fantastical and emotional story, players are still able to experience the game’s plot. This is a perfect feature for players who may feel anxious when dealing with others online, or those who are learning the game and don’t feel confident enough to play with others yet. Duty Support is also a great addition for lore lovers, as the support NPCs you complete the dungeon with will comment on various aspects of the dungeon. Once a player completes all dungeons for that expansion, they’ll unlock the Trust system, which allows you to replay the dungeons with your favorite NPCs from the story, who will also have their own opinions to share. Players are able to pick up Final Fantasy XIV through its expansive free trial, which includes the base game of A Realm Reborn, and expansions Heavensward and Stormblood. The trial also allows players to pick up 5 extra classes and has no restriction on the amount of hours played.

Why Final Fantasy 6 needs a different style of remake Square EnixThe Final Fantasy series is no stranger to remakes, but a potential Final Fantasy 6 remake should bring back a lost style for the franchise. As Final Fantasy 6 celebrates its thirtieth anniversary some fans can’t help but lament it becoming a lost chapter within the series. Out of all of the main entries, FF6 seems to get the least amount of love from the developers, and this can be quite frustrating. Of course, the game received an excellent Pixel Remaster along with the earlier five entries, and it did get a PS1 and Game Boy Advance port back in the day, but other than that, all has been quiet in the World of Ruin. However, there’s an argument to be made that FF6 needs a remake to stop it from falling into obscurity. It is, after all, the game that inspired the oft-used sci-fi setting in Final Fantasy, laid the foundation for FF7 and FF10, and it gave us one of the scariest villains the series has ever known. It was a crucial turning point for the series that deserves another look. A World of Ruin For those who are unfamiliar with FF6, the game was the last of the 2D-style games before the series went fully 3D in Final Fantasy 7. It was also the first to feature a female protagonist in Terra Brandord. It also abandoned the tried and tested formula of a bunch of Heroes of Light being thrown together before being sent on a quest for a crystal. Of course, many of these elements were factored in through other means, but FF6 explored some much darker themes, and its dystopian steampunk setting was a far cry from the bright medieval fantasy setting we had become accustomed to. Square Enix is likely sick of hearing fans and pundits beg for Final Fantasy remakes. They were hearing the cries for an FF7 remake for literal decades before they delivered one and its sublime second chapter, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. There’s also a strong case to remake the underappreciated FF8, and an FF9 update is starting to feel inevitable. Once the devs are finished with the FF7 remake trilogy, they’ll have a choice to make about what to do next. The proposal here isn’t for Square Enix to make a Final Fantasy 6 remake in the style of the FF7 Remake or Rebirth; that honor should go to FF8, then FF9. However, Square Enix should consider resurrecting the style they employed for the Final Fantasy 3 and 4 remakes. If you don’t know, these games were remade in a cute 3D Chibi style on the Nintendo DS and were excellent and faithful retellings of those earlier Final Fantasy entries. The FF4 remake on the DS was especially solid, and the new style of both reminded many of Final Fantasy 9 on the PS1. Many fans thought the series would continue on 3DS, although Square Enix created the Bravely Default games instead, which served as spiritual successors to the Final Fantasy DS remakes. They would go on to create some rather glorious HD remasters for FF5 and FF6 on iOS and Android in 2013/15, which have since been replaced by the 2022 Pixel Remasters, but no 3D remakes would be forthcoming. This is a shame, as exploring the world of FF6 in 3D would be incredible, though it’s also not too late. The time is right for a Final Fantasy 6 remake The Final Fantasy series is bigger than ever, with the FF7 remakes, FF16, and the MMO FF14 all doing well in the past few years. So it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that Square Enix looks to capitalize on this by bringing back other assets, with games like FF5 and FF6 being prime candidates. The company has a history of doing this and is no stranger to frequent Final Fantasy remakes and spin-offs. Even 2022’s rather experimental Stranger of Paradise could be considered a remake of the original Final Fantasy. That too, switched out fantasy for sci-fi and a much darker tone. In truth, Final Fantasy 6 likely wouldn’t work as a cute Chibi experience, mostly because it’s a more serious game that delves into some pretty grown-up concepts. However, the old DS style could be adapted and modernized in some form. Nobody’s suggesting it needs to be an expansive AAA project like the FF7 remakes, but surely a balance could be achieved to make it work? After all, Stranger of Paradise wasn’t exactly AAA when compared to FF16 and FF7 Remake. The above is simply a proposal and a wish, and Square Enix is likely hard at work on Bravely Default 3 on the Nintendo Switch which itself may still be a year or so away from release. Although, once you’re finished with the Bravely Default series, Square Enix, at least for now, perhaps consider giving Terra a chance? Franchises like IT and Terrifier have made clowns more frightening than ever, making it the perfect time to bring back gaming’s most sinister killer clown, Final Fantasy 6’s diabolical villain, Kefka.

Why Anabella Rosfield hates Clive in Final Fantasy 16 Square EnixAnabella Rosfield is the mother of Clive in Final Fantasy 16 and she does seem to have a distasteful attitude towards her son. The reason for her cold nature towards Clive has been discussed here. The world of Final Fantasy 16 is filled with interesting characters who are rich in story and background information. Every character has their own motivations and you will often find yourself thinking about them during your Valisthea in the game. One such character that you will come across is Clive‘s mother Anabella Rosfield. Being a mother you would expect her to be kind and caring towards her child, but she is quite the opposite as she hates our hero to the core. Here is a brief discussion of why Anabella Rosfield hates Clive in Final Fantasy 16. Note: The following contains spoilers surrounding the opening section of the game. Why does Anabella hate Clive Rosfield in Final Fantasy 16? The reason why Anabella hates Clive Rosfield is that the latter was rejected by the Eikon of Fire, Phoenix. We know that Rosaria is the nation that is ruled by the Phoenix and the Archedukes pass the power of the Eikon to their heir. Unfortunately, the Phoenix rejected Clive, despite being the eldest son of Archduke Elwin, and instead accepted Joshua, the younger son. This led to Anabella being disgusted as she felt that Clive is a disgrace and does not deserve any attention. She only loved Joshua and wanted to protect him at any cost. In fact, when Anabella betrayed the nation, she asked the Imperials to spare Joshua and kill everyone else. The guards of the palace were also surprised at times when they saw how poorly Anabella treated Clive. However, the only thing she cared about was gaining power which led to her hateful attitude toward her son. Unfortunately, Joshua died, which meant that Anabella had nothing to care for any longer. She was quite annoyed to see Clive survive the destruction. At first, she asked the Imperials to kill Clive but decided against it. This was not an act of mercy, instead, she bound Clive into the Imperial army and denied him any form of freedom. This concludes our guide on why Anabella hates Clive in Final Fantasy 16.

Why FFXIV’s Island Sanctuary is the perfect addition for cozy gamers Square EnixFinal Fantasy XIV’s Endwalker so the introduction of the Island Sanctuary, a perfect addition for cozy and casual gamers. Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIV has to be one of the biggest success stories for an MMO. Since being completely torn down after a miserable launch, the MMO has risen from the ashes to become a beloved game for many. With the launch of the most recent Endwalker expansion, FFXIV brought its multiple-year-long story to a close. The Warrior of Light and their companions were able to take down those who inspired despair, without being taken over themselves. Alongside the story, Endwalker brought a bunch of new features to the MMO, for both high-end and casual players. One of which was the Island Sanctuary, a perfect addition for cozy gamers who enjoy crafting and creating their own paradise. Island Sanctuary takes from games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, creating a relaxed and comfortable environment for players to enjoy. Players can gather, craft, and build up their own Island home, with furniture, decorations, and more. It’s the perfect activity for players who are looking to burn some time or really create something they can feel proud of. Alongside creating buildings and furnishing, the Island is home to plenty of different crops and fauna, which players can also collect and tend to. Certain rare animals can only spawn in under specific time and weather conditions, meaning players will need to keep an eye out for them if they wish to complete their collection. Island Sanctuary is also perfect for providing players with tangible in-game rewards that can be transferred outside of their island. This includes mounts, dyes, minions, and more, all of which can be transferred into the main game. Not only can players craft and build their own paradise, but they’re able to invite their friends to witness what they’ve made, further reinforcing the social aspects of the MMO. The Island Sanctuary is available for all players who have completed the game’s main scenario questline, making it a perfect option for cozy gamers who are waiting for the release of Dawntrail next year.

Wholesome FFXIV party charms community by accommodating disabled player Square EnixA wholesome Final Fantasy XIV party has charmed the community for being accommodating and kind to a disabled new player who wasn’t able to do large dungeon pulls. A Final Fantasy XIV dungeon run has swept the community off its feet thanks to the wholesome interaction within the party. The healer was handicapped and notified the party that they would have limited play as a result. Alongside this, the player was also a Sprout, which meant they were new to the game in general, implying they were still learning. Dungeons in Final Fantasy XIV rely on the healer to keep the party alive, making their job vitally important, particularly at lower levels when tanks have less sustainability and mitigation. And even though the first tank decided to leave, the second was far more accommodating, allowing the player to successfully clear the dungeon. The sprout thanked the other party members for letting them play. The interaction between the group was so wholesome it melted Twitter users’ hearts, who were glad to see the community being accommodating, despite a few bad eggs. “My heart broke when they typed thank you for allowing me to play. Be kind!!!” the user tweeted out. Final Fantasy XIV is well known for its kind and wholesome community, one that is built upon a shared appreciation for the game and its many facets like story, raiding, and much more.

Where to find every Summon in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Square EnixThere are some exciting Summons you can use throughout Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, so here’s a full list of every Summon and where you can find them in the game. Like the FF7 Remake before it, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has a variety of fun Summons that you can call on to aid you in battle when the going gets tough. Unlike Remake, which only allows you to call on Summons during boss encounters, FF7 Rebirth lets you use them in most battles, should the need arise. It often won’t, but it’s still nice to have the option to summon these divine entities when you like, experimenting with each one and learning the best times and strategies to make use of them. Below, we’ll detail every Summon in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and where you can find them as some are easier to obtain than others. The good news is, that you’ll start the game with a bunch of Summons ready to go as Cloud and the gang will already have obtained some of them during the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. FF7 Rebirth simply assumes you collected certain Summons in the previous game so makes them available from the start. All Summons in FF7 Rebirth For most Summons, you’ll need to hunt down their Red Materia by defeating them in Chadley’s Virtual Simulator or defeat them through their own side quest. Here’s every Summon you can unlock in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: Chocobo and Mog Chocobo and Mog will be added to your Summons early on in FF7 Rebirth’s story. You’ll not need to do any additional work to unlock this one. Ifrit Returning from the previous game, Ifrit will be unlocked from the start of the game. The assumption is that the party already had the big fire demon in their service from Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Shiva Like Ifrit, Shiva will be unlocked from the start of the game.
