FAST FOOD NEWS: Krispy Kreme Let Freedom Ring Doughnuts
Eating a flag or fireworks is something I’d absolutely DO NOT recommend you do. But eating doughnuts made to look like our flag or fireworks, like Krispy Kreme’s Let Freedom Ring line, is something I think I can get behind.
Available for a limited time at participating Krispy Kreme locations in the U.S., the Let Freedom Ring Doughnuts feature three varieties:
Freedom Ring Doughnut – Inspired by the American flag, this doughnut is decorated with red, white, and blue icing and topped with patriotic sprinkles.
Sprinkled Ring Doughnut – This patriotic themed doughnut is Krispy Kreme’s iconic Original Glazed doughnut dipped in white icing and topped with red, white, and blue sprinkles.
Firework Ring Doughnut – This new doughnut is dipped in blue icing and decorated with red and white stripes to make it look like the Fourth of July staple.
Also, for the Fourth of July holiday, Krispy Kreme is offering its Reward members a free dozen of Original Glazed Doughnuts when they purchase any dozen on July 4.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Dunkin’ Hershey’s Candy Coffee Flavors
Update: We tried the Kit Kat Coolatta!
Dunkin’ is teaming up with Hershey’s to offer several sweet new products for the summer. And none of them feature the original Hershey’s Bar, which means none of them are s’mores flavored.
The Kit Kat Coolatta combines Vanilla Bean flavored Coolatta frozen beverage mixed with pieces of Kit Kat. A small has 570 calories, 12 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 15 milligrams of cholesterol, 180 milligrams of sodium, 108 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 101 grams of sugar, and 7 grams of protein.
Heath Bar and my beloved Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme Bar also get some Dunkin’ love with flavored coffees. The former is a mix of milk chocolate and English toffee flavors, while the latter combines rich white chocolate and cookie flavor notes. The two are available as hot and iced coffee, espresso drinks, frozen coffee, and frozen chocolate.
A small order of the Heath one has 110 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 35 milligrams of sodium, 26 grams of carbohydrates, 24 grams of sugar, 2 grams of protein, and 178 milligrams of caffeine. A small Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme Bar Coffee has 110 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 45 milligrams of sodium, 25 grams of carbohydrates, 24 grams of sugar, 2 grams of protein, and 178 milligrams of caffeine.
Finally, for you non-coffee drinkers, there’s the Hershey’s Cookie ‘N’ Creme Donut. The square-shaped donut has a vanilla-flavored buttercream filling and is topped with Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme Crumbles.
It has 450 calories, 24 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 380 milligrams of sodium, 56 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 33 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Popeyes Parmesan Ranch Double Dippers
Popeyes has offered a lot of different sauces over the years, like Rajun Cajun BBQ, Garlic Herb, Cajun Creamy Garlic, Smokin’ Pepper Jam, Wild Honey Mustard, Spicy Pepper Ranch, Red Hot Honey, Creamy Cayenne, Smokin’ Pepper Ranch, Spicy Orange, Ghost Pepper Ranch, and one I’m totally going to make up, Wild Cajun Sweet Pepper Honey Ranch.
But they were all just gooey sauces in one compartment containers.
For Popeyes’ new Parmesan Ranch Double Dippers, the chain is offering for the first time a dipping container with TWO compartments. WOO! You get a compartment. And you get a compartment. Everybody gets a compartment!
The menu item features six Popeyes boneless wings with your choice of a side dish, a biscuit, and a special dual-dipping side of Parmesan Ranch. The combo dipping cup has two separate sides — half is filled with buttermilk ranch dressing and the other contains parmesan cheese crumbles.
Popeyes Parmesan Ranch Double Dippers are available for a limited time in restaurants nationwide for a suggested price of $5.
