Forget about cooking tonight because some of fast food’s tastiest offerings are here. We’re talking about Taco Bell’s top-selling menu item that’s finally back on the menus. Hello, chicken nuggets! 👀 Meanwhile, Arby’s is reintroducing a sandwich that chicken fans will also love. Looking for something new? Turn your attention to Scooter’s Coffee and Frank’s RedHot. The former is ready for the summer with a new beverage lineup, while the latter has new sauces that will take you on a global flavor adventure!

If you’ve been craving something classic but not overpowering, you’ve got to try the Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich that features a breaded chicken breast patty, layered with sliced smoked ham, melty Swiss cheese, and mayonnaise—all served on a buttery brioche bun. Get this sandwich à la carte for just $6.29, or as part of a meal (with Curly Fries and a drink) for $10.69. These suggested starting prices may vary by location.

For those who might be wondering if Arby’s got something new on the menu, we’re here to tell you that, yes, there are two new sandwiches that you can try, along with two new flavorful sauces. And mind you, they’re not just average sandwiches, they’re quarter pound sandwiches! Take your pick from the Quarter Pound Pulled Pork Sandwich and Quarter Pound Brisket BBQ Sandwich. Amp up the flavor by enjoying these sandwiches with any of the two new sauces: Cedric’s Sweet Bussin Brown Sugar Sauce and Anthony’s Spicy Chipotle Smoke Sauce. These items will drop at participating locations on April 28, 2025.

Let’s talk about a popular customer request first. Finally, you can now order 32 oz. versions of your favorite blended drinks at Scooter’s Coffee with the arrival of XL Blenders. Imagine getting even more caramel from the brand’s signature Caramelicious or more fruity goodness from any fruit smoothie in XL size. This is the big upgrade we’ve been waiting for!

For a creamier version of any of the drinks mentioned, you can request for a “dirty Red Bull Infusion,” with a splash of cream. Another way to upgrade these drinks is to add cold foam.

Also included in Scooter’s Coffee’s summer menu 2025 are the returning s’mores-flavored treats. Here’s the complete lineup:

S’mores Latte – This combines the brand’s world-class espresso, mixed with milk and s’mores flavors. It’s also topped with whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and graham cracker crumbles.

There are also two new exclusive 22 oz. tumbler designs from Scooter’s Coffee that scream summer. Also new to the brand’s summer menu are kids skim and chocolate milk, and the addition of sweet tea to the Dollar Delights menu.

Taco Bell’s Chicken Nuggets

In case you missed it, chicken nuggets are back at Taco Bell! This is one of the brand’s top-selling menu items, which got sold out in less than a week back in December 2024. Now, they’re returning nationwide as part of Taco Bell’s plan to include crispy chicken in the menus permanently by 2026.

According to the fast food giant, the returning nuggets are marinated in a zesty jalapeño buttermilk flavor and then breaded with breadcrumbs and crispy tortilla chips. You can try these nuggets at the following price points:
