Spanno's Fast Food Roundup

Hardee's Comes Through Again
Bucking the trend of adding marginally healthier menu items (see below), Hardee's recently reintroduced the heart-stopping "Phlly Cheese Steak Thickburger". Yes, it's exactly what the name says. It has 930 calories, 63g fat, and 1750mg sodium.

The "Skinny" on Starbuck's New Drink
Starbucks decided to insult normal customers with a "Skinny" line of hot beverages. Basically they took non-fat milk, sugar-free syrup, and coffee--things they already had--and branded the mixture. One barista in New York is not particualarly happy about the name.

Wendy is Now a Dollar Menunaire
Wendy's "Stack Attack", a double cheeseburger priced at $0.99, is their answer to McDonald's double cheeseburger priced at uh...$0.99. How original! Oh wait, Wendy's is square.

KFC Goes Sauceless, Confuses Me
First it was boneless wings. Now it's sauceless wings. What's next? Maybe they can bread and deep-fry sauce and call it chickenless wings.
