WELL, THIS ISN'T MY WAY:  How is Burger King fighting back after having fallen behind Wendy's in sales volume?  Two words: bacon sundae.  (Time to bring back Herb? Sir Shakes A Lot?)

    None of that can compete with a spicy chicken sandwich, a baked potato, a root beer float, and the fact that there are no Burger Kings in my neighborhood.

    The BK bacon sundae was reviewed on one of The Atlantic's blogs rather, um, dismissively, leading to this awesomeness from Linda Holmes.

    If Burger King wants to really boost their sales, they should think about taking the trademark off of the words "Flame-broiled flavor" and actually flavor their burgers with the flames off of their broilers, like they did in the 80s, instead of pre-flavoring and searing the patties in-factory. 

    That said, bacon and ice cream was a great combination last summer, and I see no reason why everyone shouldn't get to have fun with it.  Flavor doesn't expire.
