4. IF you're not a fan of McDonald's McGriddle sandwiches, the company is testing a new breakfast item that is said to be even better than the McGriddle.
It's called the French Toast Breakfast Sandwich. Made with brioche bread, with an egg wedged between each piece. It's also made with sausage, bacon, and American cheese. Then, the sandwich is brushed with a layer of maple syrup.
Here's the catch: it's currently only being tested at select locations in Minnesota. If it is a hit, McDonald's stores everywhere will start selling it.
5. It's not Girl Scout Cookie season yet, but there's a new cookie to get excited about for next year. The Girl Scouts are announcing a new flavor for 2019: Caramel Chocolate Chip.
