Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here's my favorite part of Thursday. It's food News Thursday.
Froggy is in the house. You ready to go?

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Frog? Yes, I am. It's magically delicious, all right, Froggy.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
I know you've bought a lot of sales going on
some seasonal food items that are available now and now
only you've got all sorts of stuff, so it's you
take it away.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah. You might be sitting in line at Starbucks right now,
and I'm going to tell you why. It's the busiest
day of the year at Starbucks. Because today is their
Red Cup Day. Customers can order a handcrafted holiday beverage.
You get the free collectible, reusable red Holiday cup at
participating locations. And yes, it is the busiest day of
the year now. Customers get a free cup whether you
order in person, through the drive through, on the app,

(00:41):
or through the Starbucks delivery on DoorDash, grub Hubbery reads.
And also this year now, if you bring the cup
back during the holiday, you get a ten cent discount
on all of their drinks and you receive double stars
on your orders on your Starbucks reward. That is a
busy day at Starbucks.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
But one thing about that they are striking today also
on the busiest day, so it might take you a
little longer to get some of these things.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Leave it to Dotty like ruin everything, not running it.
I'm just letting you know, if you're going to get
your red cup, you might be waiting a little bit. Okay,
somebody wipe that crap off my parade. That McDonald's is.
They've done it again. They brought back the McRib. You
remember it. In twenty twenty two, they told us there
was a chance the mcgrib would be gone forever. Well
that's not the case. It came back yesterday two days ago, Tuesday,

(01:26):
November eleventh, the return of the McRib for a limited
time only once again. McDonald says this is the company's
most mentioned limited time product offering. Ever, let me.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Tell you, if you the McRib, I lived for the McRib,
I have since I was a kid. I still, you know,
even though I'm a little more picky about what I
eat these days and not really, the McRib is always there.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's all about I know. It still is.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah. I mean, it's just a hunk of whatever it is,
but it's you know, stamped into the shape of ribs
and it's got pickles and that barbecue sauce on there.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
It's fabulous. Back to you, all right, So if you
want to get a mcgrib, it is a limited time.
They did not say when it's ending. They'll never tell
us that. They just say the day it starts they
deliver the limited time. Yes, you can get it on
the app. I got them onkay Go. Shake Shack has
just gone big with the introduction of their new Big

tin of Thanksgiving cookies that taste like turkey and stuffing
and sweet potato cream, corn, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and
caramel apple pie. You get twelve cookies in six Thanksgiving
flavors for twenty bucks. They are available only online. I'm

(02:54):
not sure I want to eat Oreo cookie that tastes
like Thanksgiving dinner.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
But no, maybe it's worth the shoe. Nor do I
want Thanksgiving dinner taste of Oreo? Hey, what was the
big burger in the calorie count you just talked about
