FAST FOOD NEWS: Burger King’s Double Quarter Pound King

BK Double Quarter Pound King

Due to what I assume is muscle memory, I accidentally typed “Quarter Pounder” when I typed the title to this post.

I can understand why my brain did so because Burger King’s new Double Quarter Pounder King is similar to McDonald’s Double Quarter Pounder. Both have two 1/4 lb. beef patties, two American cheese slices, onions, pickles, ketchup, and mustard on a sesame seed bun.

The Burger King menu item has 900 calories, 54 grams of fat, 25 grams of saturated fat, 3 grams of trans fat, 210 milligrams of cholesterol, 1740 milligrams of sodium, 50 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 11 grams of sugar, and 56 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

Dunkin Donuts Buttery Toffee Nut and Winter White Chocolate Coffee

Dunkin’ Donuts is offering two new seasonal coffee flavors — Buttery Toffee Nut and Winter White Chocolate.

Buttery Toffee Nut was inspired by nut brittle and combines the taste of buttery toffee with toasty nut flavor. Winter White Chocolate brings together white chocolate and subtle vanilla flavors. Both are available as hot or iced coffees, lattes, macchiatos, and Frozen Dunkin’ Coffee.

A 10-ounce serving of Buttery Toffee Nut without dairy or a sweetener has 110 calories, 0 grams of fat, 35 milligrams of sodium, 25 grams of carbohydrates, 24 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein. A small Winter White Chocolate sans dairy or sweetener has 110 calories, 0 grams of fat, 40 milligrams of sodium, 25 grams of carbohydrates, 23 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried either flavor, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

FAST FOOD NEWS: Whataburger’s Mushroom Swiss Burger

Whataburger Mushroom Swiss Burger

Whataburger has a new Mushroom Swiss Burger.

Wait a minute. I’m not completely caught up with my Whataburger history, but I find it odd that, for a burger chain that’s been around since 1950, it’s never had a Mushroom Swiss burger. It’s one of those burger varieties that every chain seems to have had. If there was one before, let us know in the comments.

The limited time only burger features two all-beef patties, two layers of premium grilled mushrooms, two slices of Swiss cheese, and the chain’s new creamy Au Jus Sauce.

The burger has 1110 calories, 70 grams of fat, 23 grams of saturated fat, 2 grams of trans fat, 135 milligrams of cholesterol, 1890 milligrams of sodium, 61 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 11 grams of sugar, and 56 grams of protein.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
