I'm not sure why...but I've always found these posts...disgustingly and grossly entertaining. I've posted them on the blog ever year so please indulge me. LOL.

The 33 Craziest New Fast Foods of 2014
http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelysanders/craziest-fast-foods-2014?bftw#.uid9JY6yJ
Another year has ended, and here we are with another crop of inexplicable fast food menu items to look back on in fondness and confusion.
There are some patterns you can spot amidst all the cheese: Pizza Hut continues to gleefully troll the world, KFC is WAY more fun outside the U.S., Jack in the Box understands that 90% of its customer base is stoners, and Taco Bell maintains an uncanny knack for formulating exactly which Franken-foods will cause Twitter to freak out the most.
Behold what humans worldwide leave in our greasy wake this year:
1. 7-Eleven’s Doritos Loaded (U.S.)
7-Eleven / Via foodrepublic.com
The love child of a Dorito and a mozzarella stick that we definitely never asked for but will totally eat when drunk.
2. Taco Bell’s Waffle Breakfast Taco (U.S.)
After months of whispers and rumors, it finally arrived this spring.
4. Domino’s Starburst Chocolate Lava Cake (Australia)
Domino’s / Via brandeating.com
On a scale from one to no-longer-capable-of-speech, how high was the Domino’s R&D team when they came up with this?
5. Pizza Hut’s Doritos-Crust Pizza (Australia)
Pizza Hut / Facebook: pizzahutaustralia / Via foodbeast.com
AUSTRALIA WOULD.
6. McDonald’s Black & White Pie (China)
McDonald’s / Via brandeating.com
With coconut filling and a fried chocolate shell. Would definitely eat!
7. KFC’s Crispy Cheese Chicken (Philippines)
KFC / Via brandeating.com
Apparently “marinated” in cheese and then covered in crispy cheese bits. Admit it, you’re intrigued.
8. Burger King’s Burger-Topped Poutine (Canada)
Burger King / Via brandeating.com
Poutine to the People, no doubt, but not convinced this is the way to go about it.
9. Carl’s Jr’s Bisnut (U.S.)
Carl’s Jr. / Via eater.com
This is pretty much what you think it is: a wannabe-Cronut biscuit with a hole in the middle, topped with icing and sprinkles.
10. Pizza Hut’s Surf & Turf Pizza with Dessert-Stuffed Crust (South Korea)
Pizza Hut / brandeating.com
How did it take humanity so long to come up with a pizza that combines shrimp, calamari, sausage, bacon, steak, cranberry (or apple) and cream cheese?
11. Jack in the Box’s Hella-Peño Burger
Jack in the Box / Via eater.com
Yes, that is a burger topped with stuffed jalapeño poppers and cheese sauce. And yes, explicitly marketing fast food to stoners is a brilliant strat.
12. KFC’s Popcorn Chicken Nacho Box (Australia)
KFC / Facebook: KFCAustralia
This was MADE for America. It’s a travesty that it’s only available Down Under.
13. Papa John’s Frito Chili Cheese Pizza (U.S)
Doesn’t seem like the worst idea in the world, TBH.
14. Taco Bell’s Starburst Strawberry Freeze (U.S)
At last, you can have your candy in slush form!
16. Burger King’s Premium Berry Burger (Japan)
Burger King / Via firstwefeast.com
With cranberry spread and blueberries on top. Sounds almost as appetizing as the “Mush ‘n’ Cheese”! BERRY KRISTMUSH TO ALL!!!
18. Del Taco’s Bun Taco (U.S.)
(LOL). This was one of three “throwback” menu items resurrected to commemorate Del Taco’s 50th anniversary.
19. Domino’s Specialty Chicken (U.S.)
What is it? Literally just fried chicken chunks covered with cheese and other stuff. Why does it exist? We may never know.
20. KFC’s Dipping Fries (Romania)
KFC / Via brandeating.com
Clearly, Eastern Europeans understand the need for a higher condiment:fry ratio.
21. Carl’s Jr.’s Double Loaded Omelet Biscuit (U.S.)
Carl’s Jr. / Via brandeating.com
Also at Hardee’s. Two omelets with sausage, ham, bacon, American, Jack AND cheddar cheese is a great thing to have for breakfast if you want to be passed out for the rest of the day!
22. Jack in the Box’s Chick-N-Tater Melt (U.S)
Richard G. / brandeating.com
You can get this miraculous monster of a sandwich (chicken, hash brown, cheese, bacon, cheese sauce, and ranch on a croissant) in one of the chain’s late-night Munchie Meals.
24. Domino’s Subwich (India)
Domino’s / Via brandeating.com
A bean or chicken patty between two triangles of pizza dough. This just makes me want actual pizza.
25. McDonald’s McSbrinz Burger (Switzerland)
McDonald’s / Via brandeating.com
Sbrinz is apparently a kind of Swiss cheese that is served in adorable little rolls. Why put in on a burger, you ask? Well, uh, why not?
26. KFC’s Double Down King (South Korea)
KFC / Via brandeating.com
The original Double Down was apparently NOT ENOUGH for South Korea, where KFC went ahead and slapped a hamburger in there too.
27. Pizza Hut’s Pretzel Piggy Pizza (U.S.)
Pizza Hut / Via brandeating.com
This pie boasts bacon, mushrooms and spinach with a salted pretzel crust and balsamic drizzle. It’s part of Pizza Hut’s big, bewildering American menu revamp.
28. Pizza Hut’s Sausage Roll Crust Pizza (Luxembourg)
Pizza Hut / brandeating.com
If you put a pizza surrounded by pigs-in-a-blanket in front of me, I’m not going to NOT eat it.
29. Taco Bell’s Quesarito (U.S.)
Taco Bell / Via buzzfeed.com
Your eyes do not deceive you; that is, in fact, a burrito wrapped in a quesadilla.
31. White Castle’s Waffle Breakfast Sandwiches (U.S.)
White Castle / Via businessweek.com
In the words of Businessweek, who eats breakfast at White Castle?
32. Pizza Hut’s Quesadilla, Burrito & Nacho Pizzas (New Zealand)
Pizza Hut / Facebook: pizzahutnz / Via foodbeast.com
Pizza Hut is DEFINITELY the place I turn to for authentic, flavorful Mexican food.
33. Tim Horton’s Buffalo Crunch Doughnut (U.S.)
God willing, these doughnuts (which were served for only a week at the New York State Fair this summer) will pop up at some regular Tim Horton’s locations in the future.
