Today is my birthday, and Popeye’s is giving this serious pickle lover a delicious present! How did I know?
For April Fools’ Day only, they are adding five pickle-centric menu items to their menu at select restaurants in the United States.
Pickle Glaze Sandwich: A briny twist on the iconic Popeyes Chicken Sandwich. Featuring crispy, hand-battered chicken coated in a zesty pickle flavored glaze, topped with thick-cut pickles and served on a toasted brioche bun.
Pickle Glaze Bone-In Wings: The signature crispy, juicy bone-in wings are tossed in a bold, tangy pickle flavored glaze, delivering the perfect balance of savory heat and briny goodness in every bite.
Pickle Glaze Boneless Wings: All the crunch, all the flavor—none of the bones. These tender, hand-battered boneless wings are drenched in a mouthwatering pickle flavored glaze, making them a must-try for true pickle lovers.
Fried Pickles: No pickle menu is complete without this classic! Crispy, golden-brown fried pickles are battered in Popeyes signature seasoning and fried to perfection, served with a side of creamy ranch dipping sauce.
Pickle Lemonade: The tangy, refreshing drink you didn’t know you needed. This sweet-yet-savory lemonade is infused with real pickle juice for a surprisingly addictive sip that pairs perfectly with every item on the menu.
“We’re pickle people, so we understand that there truly can never be enough pickles. This pickle-packed lineup was created to ensure the perfect balance of crisp texture, vibrant acidity, and our world-famous Louisiana flavors with every bite. If you love that chicken, you’re going to love that pickle!” said Chef Amy Alarcon, VP of Culinary at Popeyes.
As much as I want to try the pickle lemonade, I am not sure my stomach can handle it, even though I have eaten pickles and drank lemonade at the same time. So maybe I can!
Do you like to take a bite out of something to discover its mysterious flavor? Then 7-Eleven has a present for you during the month of April. They are bringing back the limited-edition April Fools’ Month Mystery Donut.
“Every April, we like to add a little mischief to our bakery offerings with the Mystery Donut as an unexpected twist that’s all about surprising our customers in the spirit of April Fool’s Day,” said Brandon Brown, Senior Vice President, Fresh Foods at 7-Eleven, Inc. “It may seem like a prank, but it’s no joke! This mystery donut is hitting stores, offering a fun and unexpected treat to shake up your day!”
I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to guess what the mystery flavor is. I hope it is something yummy and not something gross.
I also think if the world’s largest convenience retailer were smart, they would also add a mysterious flavor Slurpee to the mix. Aren’t Slurpees more popular than their donuts?
Are you hungry to do good? Then you need to get something from Jersey Mike’s today. That is because the subway shop is donating all sales, not just profits, to charities today. The estimated total is expected to be over $25 million.
This is their 15th Day of Giving. Since 2011, they have raised more than $113 million for local charities. To see a list of all of the charities that they donated to by state, then click here.
The Day of Giving is their busiest day, so they are staffing and meating up for the surge of customers.
There’s no excuse not to order from Jersey Mike’s today, so what are you waiting for? If you don’t do it, then you won’t get a group text from Danny DeVito, and you don’t want to make him mad.
Out of all of the burger chains, Carl’s Jr. has the most original hamburgers. And maybe also the most fattening ones.
You would think they would try to be a little healthier. But, nope. They upped the fat and calories, as in, they added a third patty to most famous burgers.
There are five triple burgers: The Famous Star®, a classic burger with American Cheese, lettuce and tomato. The Western Bacon Cheeseburger® featuring melted American Cheese, crispy onion rings and tangy BBQ sauce. The El Diablo, which features bacon, jalapeno POPPERS® bites, pepper jack cheese and jalapeno coins. The Guacamole Bacon with bacon, melted pepperjack cheese, lettuce and tomato. The Big Carl® burger featuring melted American, lettuce and classic sauce.
“Carl’s Jr. has always been bold and willing to push the limits, so why restrict our guests from getting more of what they love?” said Maripaz Romero, vice president of brand marketing. “With the beloved, craveable flavors of our core burgers, it’s only natural to introduce this triple patty threat, proving that at Carl’s Jr., you don’t have to sacrifice size for flavor.”
Just reading about all of those triple charbroiled burgers, I gained three pounds. And yet, I want to try one for real. Everything above the neck says, “Do it.” Everything below says, “Don’t even think about it.”
Kentucky Fried Chicken is adding its first new bucket to its menu in a decade, and it is coming with their new side, Mashed Potato Poppers, which are creamy mashed potatoes golden fried for the perfect crunchy bite.
“Our new Mashed Potato Poppers transform a legendary KFC classic into a crunchy can’t-resist bite of perfection,” said Catherine Tan-Gillespie, President, KFC U.S. “And the Dunk It Bucket? Oh, it’s a dream come true for sauce lovers—dip it, dunk it, drench it, do your thing. It’s our first brand-new bucket in nearly a decade, and trust me, it was so worth the wait!”
The $7 Dunk-It Bucket comes with two chicken tenders, five Mashed Potato Poppers, a scoop of French fries, and three sauces. You can choose from Warm Gravy, Comeback Sauce, Honey BBQ,
Honey Mustard, Sticky Chicky Sweet and Sour Sauce, Classic Ranch, and Buffalo Ranch.
If you want to make it a family meal, for $25, you get ten chicken tenders and Mashed Potato Poppers, two scoops of French fries, six sauces, and four biscuits.
I don’t know about you, but that sounds scrumptious to me. If it does to you too, don’t wait too long to try them. They are only available for a limited time. And for $7, it is cheaper than a carton of eggs!
