McDonald's McCafe: Cherry Berry Chiller [Review]

mcdonalds.com
It seems that every time you turn around McDonald's seems to be introducing a new blended beverage to quench the mass' undying thirst.  This summer is no different, with the Cherry Berry Chiller out now to cure those summer time heat strokes.  Last year gave us the rather enjoyable Frozen Strawberry Lemonade that was very akin to a Slurpee from 7/Eleven.  While that frozen dream was highly artificial and lacked any basic nutritional factor, the Cherry Berry chiller claims to have 100% fruit juice twisted right in.  So despite the fact that McDonald's probably could have taken massive shortcuts and High Fructose Corn Syruped the crap out of this drink, they took the honorable route.

Pizza Hut: Cheesy Bites Pizza [Review]

pizzahut.com
While we've seen in the recent weeks that overseas Pizza Huts have gone off the deep end, with pizza crusts not only stuffed with hot dogs but also with crusts made out of cheeseburgers, one thing is quite safe to say: Pizza Hut's American gimmicks are pre school tame in comparison.  With their re-release of the Cheesy Bites Pizza, Pizza Hut isn't really pushing much of anything by adding bite sized cheese balls to a crust.  If you ask me, this is a rather uninspired knockoff to the Stuff'd Crust Pizza, just in ball form.
