Chick-fil-A Just Added 4 Items To The Menu
Chick-fil-A doesn’t change its menu very often, but they have just added four new items to the fall menu. Some of these may stay permanently, and others removed, so you may want to try them while you can.
- Chorizo Cheddar Egg Bites – these are currently being tested in Augusta, Georgia, Aiken, South Carolina., Columbus, Ohio, Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia, Miami, Florida, and New Orleans, Louisiana. And an order consists of four snack-sized bites made from eggs, sausage and a Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese blend. It’s a limited-time test and if it goes well they could go nationwide.
- Grilled Spicy Deluxe Sandwich – grilled marinated chicken in a spicy seasoning with Colby-Jack cheese, lettuce and tomato on a Multigrain Brioche bun. It was first introduced last year as a seasonal menu addition.
- Autumn Spice Milkshake – this is the first new milkshake flavor to appear in four years but is only available until November 12. It has a cinnamon flavor with crunchy bits of brown sugar cookies and passed a test run last October with flying colors.
- Upgraded Grilled Chicken Nuggets – these nuggets are ‘upgraded’ due to a mix up in the recipe which included a dairy allergen by mistake. All grilled chicken items are being upgraded due to the problem and the company says “we are actively working with the supplier so this doesn’t happen again and to ensure the allergen is removed.”

Ranking Microwave Popcorn
Did you know that microwaves have been common since the 1960s, but microwave popcorn wasn't introduced until 1982? And at first it wasn't shelf-stable, so it had to be refrigerated or frozen. It's true.
The website Uproxx.com recently conducted a BLIND taste test of 11 different brands of microwave popcorn, and ranked them based on texture . . . smell . . . and the overall balance of flavors.
They sought out the BUTTERED varieties, and did NOT consider healthiness.
Here are the results, from best to worst:
1. Orville Redenbacher's, Movie Theater Butter. They said, "In addition to the great buttery flavor, the fluffy texture and consistent popping make it so that your first handful of popcorn is as good as what's at the bottom of the bag."
2. Cousin Willie's, Movie Theater Butter
3. Kroger, Movie Theater Butter
4. Jolly Time, Blast O Butter
5. Trader Joe's, Movie Theater Popcorn . . . It's unclear why this one was included. It's a bagged, pre-popped popcorn.
6. Whole Foods, Organic Buttery Flavor Popcorn
7. Market Pantry, Butter
8. Act II, Butter Lover's
9. Pop Secret, Movie Theater Butter
10. Simple Truth Organic, Butter Flavor
11. Skinny Pop, Butter. They said, "If you've eaten popcorn and ever thought it was bad, you were probably eating Skinny Pop."
