Yesterday, Burger King rolled out a soft-serve desserts menu, which includes premium sundaes, traditional sundaes, soft-serve cones or cups, and milkshakes.

Yes, most of those soft-serve desserts sound similar to what McDonald’s offers.

The premium sundaes, which aren’t really like anything McDonald’s offers, come in four varieties:

Peach and Granola (Nutrition Facts: 280 calories, 5 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 43 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.)

Oreo (Nutrition Facts: 440 calories, 12 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 57 grams of sugar, and 8 grams of protein.)

Mini M&M’s (Nutrition Facts: 450 calories, 13 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 62 grams of sugar, and 8 grams of protein.)

The Peach and Granola Sundae has a suggested retail price of $1.79, while the others have a SRP of $2.49.

The traditional sundaes, which are like something McDonald’s offers, come in three flavors:

Chocolate Fudge (Nutrition Facts: 280 calories 7 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 43 grams of sugar, and 6 grams of protein.)

Caramel (Nutrition Facts: 280 calories, 6 grams of fat, 3.5 grams of saturated fat, 37 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.)

Strawberry (Nutrition Facts: 190 calories, 4 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 31 grams of sugar, and 4 grams of protein.)

All flavors have a suggested retail price of $1.

The milkshakes come in three classic flavors: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. All will come with whipped topping. A regular size will cost $2.49, while a large will go for $3.49. As for the vanilla soft serve cones and cups, they will sell for 89 cents.

Thanks to girl’s/women’s clothing companies, I associate Hot, Juicy, and Hot ‘N Juicy with words printed on the backsides of sweatpants. But Wendy’s, the world’s third largest hamburger fast food chain, might change my word associations with their upcoming Dave’s Hot ‘N Juicy Cheeseburgers.

Wendy’s new burgers have juicier, thicker 100% North American beef patties, crinkle-cut pickles, sweet red onions, and thick tomato slices in between buttered, toasted buns. The Hot ‘N Juicy Cheeseburgers come in three varieties: a 1/4 lb. burger with a single beef patty, a 1/2 lb. burger with two beef patties, and for real meat lovers, a 3/4 lb. burger with three beef patties.

But if you LOVE apostrophes, you’ll enjoy any Wendy’s Dave’s Hot ‘N Juicy Cheeseburger.

A Hot ‘N Juicy 1/4 lb. Single has 580 calories, 33 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 1,240 milligrams of sodium, and 31 grams of protein.

A Hot ‘N Juicy 1/2 lb. Double has 810 calories, 48 grams of fat, 21 grams of saturated fat, 2.5 grams of trans fat, 1,580 milligrams of sodium, and 51 grams of protein.

Finally, a Hot ‘N Juicy 3/4 lb. Triple has…do you really want to know how Fat ‘N Salty it is? Well, if you do, it has 1,060 calories, 67 grams of fat, 30 grams of saturated fat, 4 grams of trans fat, 2,070 milligrams of sodium, and 72 grams of protein.

Wendy’s Dave’s Hot ‘N Juicy Cheeseburgers will roll out nationwide on October 3rd.

Ooey Gooey Caramel Brownie is Dairy Queen’s Blizzard of the Month. The treat combines gooey caramel, real fudge brownies pieces, and choco chunks blended with creamy vanilla soft serve. It was also Blizzard of the Month in April 2010 (read On Second Scoop’s review here). A small serving has 570 calories, 21 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 85 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 65 grams of sugar, and 12 grams of protein. I was going to put the nutrition facts for a large serving, but I didn’t want to blow your mind…and your heart.

This month’s Slurpee flavor has a football-related theme, so I shall fill this paragraph with football terminology. Cherry Orange Blitz will bicycle kick your mouth with fruity flavors, dribbling between sour and citrus. Oh wait, wrong football. According to the Slurpee website, Cherry Orange Blitz also contains ginseng, green tea, and guarana extract, so it might provide an energy boost for gamers. Speaking of those who enjoy games, specially marked cups will have codes that will help players earn rewards for the Facebook game Madden NFL Superstars. A 16-ounce cup of Cherry Orange Blitz has 110 calories, 0 grams of fat, 25 milligrams of sodium, 28 grams of carbohydrates, and 27 grams of sugar.

Baskin-Robbins’ Flavor of the Month is French Toast. The flavor consists of french toast flavored ice cream with bits of gooey maple bread pudding. A 4-ounce scoop has 280 calories, 14 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 60 milligrams of cholesterol, 125 milligrams of sodium, 335 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 28 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.

Subway’s September $5 Featured Footlong is the Turkey Breast &…ZZZZZZ. W-w-what? What was I saying? Oh yeah, September’s $5 Featured Footlong is the Turkey Breast & Black…ZZZZZZ. Oh man. Subway’s Turkey Breast & Black Forest Ham makes me quite sleepy. It’s not very exciting since it’s a regular item on Subway’s menu. A 6-inch sub has 290 calories, 4 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, 20 milligrams of cholesterol, 820 milligrams of sodium, 46 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, and 18 grams of protein.

Although I love caffeine, I’m not a coffee person because coffee farts turn me off to the stuff. But if you enjoy a freshly brewed cup of java and you happen to find yourself at a Krispy Kreme (and you’re too lazy to drive to the nearest Starbucks), they’re offering a brand new coffee lineup. Krispy Kreme’s new Signature Coffee comes in three varieties:

Krispy Kreme Signature House Blend – a blend of South and Central American coffee

Krispy Kreme Signature Dark Roast – a blend of African, Indonesian, and Central American coffee beans

Krispy Kreme Signature House Decaf – a Central and South American decaffeinated blend

All three varieties are made using 100% Arabica beans. A cup of Krispy Kreme’s new coffee retails for $1.72 for a small, $1.93 for a medium, and $2.04 for a large.

I look forward to the day when Denny’s creates a new menu that honors a vegetable and calls it something like Celery-bration. But until then, I’ll have to celebrate gooey cheese with Denny’s new “Let’s Get Cheesy!” menu.

Mac ‘n Cheese Big Daddy Patty Melt – a hand-pressed beef patty topped with new creamy Mac ‘n Cheese, melted cheddar cheese, and zesty Frisco sauce on grilled potato bread, served with a side of wavy-cut French fries.

Each “Let’s Get Cheesy!” items does have a lot of cheese, but if your heart so desires (and if it’s weak, I hope it doesn’t), you can add even more cheese to any dish for an extra 69 cents. Also, you can substitute a serving of Mac ‘n Cheese to any entree for no extra charge.

The “Let’s Get Cheesy” menu is available all day, every day for a limited time only at prices starting from $4.99.

Actually, you know what? I no longer look forward to Celery-bration. I look forward to someday celebrating “Let’s Get Cheesy with Baconalia!”
