Punch'd
When I was looking through The Sun website yesterday afternoon, a story about McDonald's caught the side of my as I scrolled through the main part of the website.
I don't know which words forced me to stop and take notice, but - from the gist - I saw that people had been complaining about the new menu items.
'Ah.. they're talking about the Spanish Fruit Punch,' was the first thing I concluded. After clicking on the article, I realised that it was concerning the Spicy Spanish Stack burger.
I haven't tried the Spanish-themed burger, but I've tried the drink. And I did not like it at all.
It was full of ice (as expected). However, the ice took away most of its flavour. I could not taste a thing but ice and a mild hint of red fruit.
I suppose it may have just been I was given a drink that was too diluted due to an abundance of ice.
Or - more likely - it just isn't that good.
One thing is for sure: I won't buy another one.

Sampling Pizza And Cheeseburger Mini Cheddars
On April 28th, I published a post after trying a couple of limited edition Pringles flavours. Coincidentally, Jacobs has introduced Mini Cheddars with similar flavours.
Seeing as it has been two years since I wrote about Mini Cheddars (on July 16 2020 and August 21 2020), I thought it was a perfect opportunity to sample the 'Classic Cheese Pizza' and 'Bangin' Cheese Burger' flavours and do a head-to-head to see which one is the best.
Classic Cheese Pizza Flavour
These Cheddars tasted exactly as I predicted they would. They are reminiscent of every single 'pizza' flavour product I have ever tried - a cheesy tomato taste. Or maybe my mind is playing tricks on me and all it is are Italian spices and cheese to give off the hint of a pizza.
Either way - it 100% tastes like a product with a 'pizza' flavour.
Bangin' Cheese Burger Flavour
I'm going to taste the 'Bangin' Cheese Burger' flavour live because I have doubts whether I'll like it. The reason why is because the 'Bangin' wording has me wondering if it'll be spicy. I also anticipate a gherkin flavour that I have often associated with burger-flavoured food products (ie Pringles and those Golden Wonder Quarterback potato snacks that can be found in the cheap crisps section of corner shops on-and-off for years).
Here goes....
Okay, so it isn't spicy. That's a relief. As predicted, it did have the gherkin scent. However, it does taste slightly more 'meaty' than it does, for want of a better word, gherkiny.
Yes - this is a cheeseburger flavoured biscuit.
The Verdict
I'll have to be fair and call this head-to-head a draw. I didn't dislike either flavour. There were no swerves, both flavours tasted exactly as promised.
