Emerald Catron — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 20:57:31 +0000

Maybe Subway is stepping up their game a tad. They've made it abundantly clear that they now have avocados and sriracha sauce, and they will NOT be putting ketchup on anybody's sandwich. At all.

Believe it or not, most fast food joints and quick service chains actually offer a lot more variety and ingenuity than their menus would suggest — they just hide it from you for some sad, sad, reason. We just want our fast food to be as disgusting, er, as tasty as possible, so we’ve pulled [...]

So when the popular food chain unveiled its latest creation, ‘Kit Kat Pops’, we shouldn’t have been surprised, right? Wrong.
