Whataburger's Spicy Ketchup is Back... for awhile.

In (mostly*) Texas-only fast food news...

Whataburger's much loved and longed for Spicy Ketchup is back starting today, for a limited time.

Their jalapeno-infused Spicy Ketchup was introduced in January 2012 and didn't stay around nearly long enough.

Time to stock up!



*Although the vast majority of Whataburger restaurants are in Texas, they do have some in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas.

Green or Gross: McDonald's Re-Using Cups

Is it saving space in our landfills and reducing plastic production, or is it just gross?

A McDonald's employee has uploaded a photo of his restaurant cleaning used soda cups.  He says that cups thrown away or left out in the restaurant are washed and re-used to serve drinks to customers.

A lot depends on the actual cleaning process, but if that process is adequate for sanitizing the cups, it is really no different than a restaurant that serves drinks in glasses and washes them, right?
