\u00a0 \u00a0These were sent into Buzzfeed<\/em><\/a> (you know, the garbage, failing news site…) and I’m glad they published them. \u00a0Because Americans need to know that fast food restaurants are pulling out all the stops in an effort to keep their business. \u00a0 They also seem to be motivated to keep the antacid drug makers in business as well, as some of these over-the-top spicy items seem destined to burn the throats and esophaguses of many a customer.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 I have doubts that ANY of these will be eaten in 2017. \u00a0I think they should all follow the very successful business model of In And Out Burger, namely, do one thing and do it WELL.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 And if someone really wants to eat a Kit-Kat Quesadilla, they can just order a Quesadilla and bring their own Kit-Kat bar in. \u00a0Save the line on the menu for something else, OK?<\/div>\n
