McDonald’s still America’s favorite fast food restaurants, survey says
McDonald’s fans are still lovin’ it. In a recent survey for more than 2,000 adults, McDonald’s came out as the clear favorite fast food restaurant thanks to several categories including value and speed of service. Wendy’s claimed second place, Burger King followed in third place. Subway and KFC rounded out the top five. According to Yahoo! Finance, the survey, conducted by UBS Evidence Lab surveyed 2,029 adults who visited fast-casual restaurants at least once a month.

There’s a good reason potato chip bags are always half empty
If there is one thing that can upset junk food aficionados, it’s a potato chip bag half filled with air. No matter what brand you buy, once you tear into the bag, you almost always find it already halfway empty before you’ve even chomped on a single single. While it can be disappointing, there is actually a good reason for all of this seemingly wasted space. Protecting those potato chips No, chip companies aren’t trying to pull a fast one on you. In the industry, the empty space is intentionally built into the packaging to help protect the product. It’s known as “slack fill,” and it serves to diminish damage to your Doritos on its journey from production to transportation to the grocery store. Even a small drop in a vending machine could deliver a serious smash job to your chips if that space wasn’t there. It’s not actually air…
This is the fastest drive-thru chain in America
It’s called “fast food” because it’s meant to be made, assembled, packaged and in your hands in mere minutes. But not all drive-thru dining establishments can deliver on this promise. There is, however, one fast food chain that delivers your order in the blink of an eye. A QSR Magazine study found that when you really need your order in a hurry, Burger King is the way to go.

(Popular In-N-Out Burger and Bojangles’ were not included in the study because…
Oreo unveils hot chicken wing and wasabi flavors … but only in China
The maker of Oreo cookies has been busy unleashing new flavors on the marketplace, but they’ve all veered to the sweet side. Take, for example, the Chocoate Peanut Butter Pie, Rocky Road Trip, Good Humor Strawberry Shortcake, or Apple Pie currently on shelves. (That’s if they’re still in stores, as some are introduced as limited editions.) And Peppermint Bark will come out later in time for the holidays, which means they’ll be out in September with the rest of Christmas creep. Previous flavors have included Kettle Corn, Cherry Cola, Peeps and Hot and Spicy Cinnamon, just to name a few of the dozens. But the taste vocabulary has all changed with two new releases in China. The two new flavors are Hot Chicken Wing and Wasabi. Innovation sensation: #TeamMDLZ @Oreo just launched two new BIG and BOLD flavors in #China: Hot Chicken Wing and Wasabi! pic.twitter.com/zntoTKbplE — Mondelēz Intl (@MDLZ)…

4 new M&M’s flavors on store shelves, including Orange Vanilla Cream
It’s hard to keep track of all the different flavor of M&M’s on store shelves, and it just got even more crowded with the release of four new varieties this spring. The newest addition is Vanilla Orange Cream … and it’s available exclusively at Dollar General. The white chocolate is flavored with orange and comes off eerily reminiscent of an orange creamsicle. Junk Male of junkbanter.com gave these a 10 out of 10 rating in a review: “Guys, I wasn’t prepared for this. Every argument I try to make such as “I would like these more if…” or “These would be better with…” comes to a screeching halt when I realize there is nothing. There is nothing they could have done better, outside of choosing an entirely different flavor with more mass appeal than orange creamsicle. These SOARED past my expectations, and I suspect they will silence many skeptics.” Earlier this…
