- (FBE) I hope that you're feeling hip with the kids today,
because today, you're gonna try
some of the trendiest new fast food items,
and rank them on a scale from one to five.
- Oh [censored].
- Yes, this is exactly what I wanted today! (laughs)
- As long as I get to try
the new McDonald's chicken sandwich, I'm good!
Well what do you know? I frickin' called it!
- (FBE) Alright, so first up,
we have the brand new McDonald's chicken sandwich.
The chicken sandwich in general
has become an in-demand fast food staple,
with lots of growing competition.
So this is McDonald's latest attempt to keep up
that they just released in February.
- I respect it, like Chick-fil-A, Popeye's,
I've tried all of 'em, I haven't tried this one yet,
so I'm excited to try it.
- I'm surprised it took them this long,
but I'm not gonna lie, the McChickens were busted.
- Smells delicious, I will say.
Ooh, the bun looks good.
- So far, the pickles being forced up into one corner,
and then the pickle juice bleaching the chicken,
not a strong start.
- I mean, there's nothing on it though!
Oh, I got two little pickles? Where the sauce?
- (FBE) This is the thing.
There's no sauce on the sandwich.
- That is good. That is good.
- No, no, mm-mm.
You know when it's like so dry it's hard to swallow?
That's where I'm at right now.
We're not even gonna give it a number.
She didn't make the scale.
- I'm gonna start middle ground, 2.5 right in the middle of it.
- Three, I'm gonna say a three.
It's a solid middle ground chicken sandwich.
- I'll give it a three and a half. I'm not gonna lie.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best.
You know, like I'll eat it,
there's nothing wrong with it, for sure.
- I'm gonna give it a 4.5, just because it's kinda plain.
Like Chick-fil-A is five out of five.
So that's the bar, it's a 4.5.
- So this is the Arby's Meat Mountain.

Alright guys, back to the episode.
- Arby's? - (FBE) Arby's!
- Are you trying to kill me?
- (FBE) Yep, it is actually a secret menu item,
but it's gained a lot of attention recently.
It's basically just all of Arby's meats
piled onto one sandwich, 'cause you know what they say,
Arby's, they have the meats!
- (narrator) Arby's, we have the meats.
- I've always wanted to try it, so I'm glad I get to try it right now.
Plus is has all, wow.
- I'm not gonna hold it in my hands,
'cause I think by pure grease alone, it would just,
my hand would mold into the meat.
It's just a void of meat, and if it touches other meat,
it'll just, this is so much meat!
- This is a hefty sandwich. Oh my God!
Well, look at this.
- If you are ordering this, you must want to have a heart attack.
It smells good though, I'm not gonna lie.
- Uh, I see chicken strips, turkey breast, cheese,
lots of cheese, bacon, more cheese, more bacon.
(Izzy laughs)
- It's not bad.
Do I have to swallow it?
- Alright, I'm gonna take a little bite.
This is not okay.
Zero!
- That's a one.
- A two.
Not disgusting, definitely some improvements, I feel. (laughs)
- My stomach immediately feels like crap,
so I'm gonna knock it down a peg and say a two.
- I'm gonna say a four.
- (FBE) Chipotle released a brand new trendy item,
which is the Shawn Mendes bowl.
It also features the cilantro lime cauliflower rice.
- Ooh, I love cauliflower rice.
- I promise, I'm capable of things. There it is!
- At first glace, this looks good,
but you're supposed to, you know, you gotta shake it up.
Oh my God, no!
- (Izzy) Are you underwhelmed? 'Cause I am.
- Here we go.
♪ (classical music) ♪
- Oh, I forgot we were, okay. (record scratches)
(laughs)
- (FBE) Okay.
Okay, a better reaction, alright. - Mmm.
- You know, I'm not the biggest cauliflower fan at all, actually.
Don't find it very tasty.
But Chipotle, I'm sure does their magic,
puts a little lemon lime seasoning, and it is very tasty.
I love it, actually.
- So I like how the cauliflower rice kind of absorbed the flavor
from the other things in the bowl.
This is something that I would finish.
- It's like a little sweet, actually kind of.
I also taste like a little spice.
It's good, and I don't even like cauliflower like that,
but I can say it's good.
The cauliflower rice, I'm not into cauliflower or rice,
so I would just probably would've gave it
like a two or something like that.
- Yeah, it rocks, whatever. Three out of five.
- A three.
- A four out of five.
- I'm gonna give it a 4.5,
'cause I am very impressed with it.
- This is the Taco Bell nacho fry.
You don't have to tell me nothing about this.
I know her!
- (FBE) First appearing on the menu in 2018,
these fries have actually become the number one most successful item
in Taco Bell history.
They were brought back on the eve of the highly anticipated comeback
of potatoes in general on their menu.
- Potatoes are back?
- (FBE) They're coming back.
- Huh.
I love Taco Bell potatoes so much!
- They look good though, guys. I'm not gonna lie.
- Tasty!
- Tastes like mac and cheese. I'm not gonna lie.
That's a weird comparison for like just potato.
- It's underwhelming.
It's really underwhelming, and I can't explain it.
They're a two out of five.
- I'm just gonna say a three, you know, not good, not bad,
but like, eh, it's alright.
Nothing too special.
- A three, solid three.
Would I get this again? Of course!
- Let me do a four.
- Five out of five! Ugh!
- (FBE) Alright, and finally... - Wow.
- (FBE) The last item on our list is yet another contender...
- This is exciting. - (FBE) For chicken sandwich glory,
this is the new KFC chicken sandwich.
- I've never tried KFC chicken sandwiches before.
- Just have, wow, that is a hunk of meat.
- And look, look at them pickles. That's how you do pickles.
They gave me three, but they're big. (laughs)
- Oh, we have a sauce, ladies and gentleman, we have a sauce!
- I like this one way better than the McDonald's.
- That is like really tasty.
- (laughs) Mmm!
Let me tell ya y'all.
I can't even articulate it, I'm so sorry, I just...
- In the world of chicken sandwiches,
this is actually a really solid chicken sandwich.
I'm gonna give it a four out of five.
- I'll give it a four.
- I'll give it a five out of five.
- You know, I'm gonna give it a five.
It is the best thing I've had all day.
- This is my five. My five on the scale today.
