FAST FOOD NEWS – Taco Bell Quesarito

Taco Bell Quesarito jpg

The Taco Bell Quesarito is a burrito wrapped in a quesadilla, and I really hope Taco Bell’s new quesadilla-burrito hybrid is the beginning of many more hybrid products with names that your smartphone wants so badly to autocorrect.

According to the L.A. Times, the burrito is available with seasoned beef ($1.99 SRP), shredded chicken ($2.79 SRP), or steak ($2.99 SRP), and also comes with Latin rice, chipotle sauce, and reduced-fat sour cream. The grilled quesadilla that’s wrapped around the burrito like an python is filled with melted cheese.

A Taco Bell Quesarito with seasoned beef has 650 calories, 34 grams of fat, 12 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 1450 milligrams of sodium, 6 grams of fiber, and 22 grams of protein.

FAST FOOD NEWS – McDonald’s Raspberry Sweet Tea and Diet Sweet Tea

McDonald's Raspberry Sweet Tea and Diet Sweet Tea

Maybe it’s the mid-80 degree weather I’m sitting in as I type this or the sweater I’m wearing, but I’d kill for some McDonald’s Raspberry Sweet Tea or even Diet Sweet Tea right now. What’s in the Diet Sweet Tea? Only the finest in artificial sweeteners, aspartame, sucralose, and acesulfame potassium. There aren’t any mentions of these sweet teas on the McDonald’s website, so they’re probably test items. If you’ve seen them at a McDonald’s near you, let us know where in the comments. (Thanks for the photo, James!)

Oh, while doing some digging, I found this commercial.
