Join the quist family as Courtney and Alex try fall fast food items at starbucks, dunkin, wendys and more!
Join us as we try all the fall-themed fast food snacks! From pumpkin spice lattes to pumpkin treats, we're tasting it all and giving our honest food review. Get ready for some serious fall vibes and fall flavor!
This is like, it's fun.
It's festive.
We're super festive.
We're Halloweeners.
Oh!
Mm!
Oh!
I'm good.
It hit me.
What is up you guys?
So we are going to be trying fall fast food items.
We're a little late to this trend,
but right now we're in the Starbucks drive-thru.
Figured that would be like the best place to start.
I think I need some caffeine.
Yeah.
I'm dragging just a little bit,
and so I honestly don't know what they have
besides pumpkin spice lattes.
Like they have like a pumpkin muffin,
a pumpkin loaf, all the good stuff.
But I'm actually hungry.
It is 1.30 when we're filming this,
and I'm starving.
So the next place that we're gonna go,
I think we're either gonna go to McDonald's or Wendy's,
because I need some like real food.
As real as McDonald's I would need it.
They have a pumpkin cream muffin.
One second please.
I know what I want, I think.
Okay, order it.
No, wait, I need a minute.
They're waiting for us.
I know, give me a minute.
Order what you want.
Okay, can I please get a,
I forgot the sizes.
What's the small again?
The smallest is gonna be a tall.
Okay, I'll do, yeah, I'll do a tall.
I'll do a tall pumpkin iced latte please.
Can I please do a tall iced pecan crunch oat milk latte?
Yeah.
Could we also do a tall pecan oat milk cortado?
Cortado only comes in a short size.
Oh, yeah, let's do it.
Okay.
Awesome.
And then, sorry, last thing,
could we do the pumpkin cream cheese muffin?
And then that'll be it.
All righty.
I'm only spending $22 at Starbucks, no big deal.
We're literally doing a video
where we try the different items.
Cortado, what's a cortado?
I don't know exactly what it is,
but it's very close to a cappuccino.
When you said iced pecan crunch oat milk latte,
that sounds better than the drink I got.
I know, I-
I think we should switch.
I didn't see the menu.
I was panicked.
But they have this baked apple croissant thingy
that I've never had.
I've never seen that,
but I got the muffin because I love the muffin.
Is it too late to scan for points?
I just realized that.
Thank you.
Can I get a straw, please?
A couple of straws, actually.
Thank you so much.
You too, thanks.
We have to keep the AC on.
Normally I turn it off whenever we're filming,
but we have a baby sleeping in the backseat, so.
Anytime I go and get coffee, I usually get a cappuccino.
But if I'm at a place
where I don't think that they know how to make a cappuccino,
I get a cortado.
It's just like espresso and milk.
So it's just less milk than a latte.
Probably like tastes a lot more like espresso, right?
Well, it just, I guess.
Yeah, I guess it's stronger.
All right, so this one is the pecan oat milk cortado.
That feels really hot.
It is, it's warm.
I'm gonna wait for that one.
I'll do that one last.
Alex cannot do the heat.
No, I don't have a calloused tongue
or whatever you call it.
This one, the iced pecan crunch oat latte.
I did not order this one, but I might drink it anyway.
We're trying it.
That honestly might be some of the better coffee
I've ever had.
Whoa.
Not even lying.
I think part of it is it tastes super, super milky.
So everything I hate, you got it.
I don't taste a lot of coffee in it.
Again, well.
Which makes it really good.
We are total opposites.
He's gonna hate this.
This one just, it's like, you taste the coffee in it
for sure, but then you also like taste the little hints
of like pecans.
I love pecans.
I literally had a butter pecan swirl iced coffee
at Dunkin' yesterday.
Oh yeah, I never tried that.
It is so good.
And this is the pumpkin spice latte.
Wow, it's actually orange.
I didn't know that they were actually orange.
This is straight up, this is a glass of whole milk.
That's why it's so good.
I don't think that this is, maybe this is made right,
but that is a glass of whole milk.
I will be drinking that one for sure.
I mean, it is good.
It is good.
I just, I don't taste any coffee in it whatsoever.
Pumpkin spice is just original.
It's okay.
I think they're better hot, probably.
Yes, I was gonna say, I've never liked them iced.
Of course, I'm the one that ordered that.
I screwed up everything on this order.
No, it would be weird to order a hot drink right now.
Oh wait, actually, this is kinda good.
I'm just glad that she ordered this.
Iced pecan crunch oat latte.
Okay, actually, it's probably one of the best
iced pumpkin spice lattes I've ever had.
Really?
It tastes so good.
You can actually taste the pumpkin.
It's not like a glass of milk like the other one.
But wait, I want you to try this one.
This one?
Yeah.
All right.
It's good.
Yeah, that's a little strong for me, like coffee strong.
If you like traditional cappuccinos,
or if you think lattes have too much milk in it,
this is for you.
It's definitely not bad.
I think just for a non-coffee person,
that's a little strong for me.
I think Courtney wanted to film this video
because she just wanted to get some Starbucks today
and not feel bad about it.
Have you ever had one of these?
Cream cheese muffins.
Take in like a bite off of yours before
because you like those.
We're gonna take a bite of this
and then we're gonna go to wherever the next place is.
This is the best.
I need to get some cream cheese in it, right?
In a bite?
All right.
Alex takes the world for expense.
I think that's why you don't like Starbucks
is because all of their foods are like bites
and like small.
I'm a grown boy.
This is true.
Actually, he is so active.
Even last night, he's like,
do you wanna go for a walk?
He's like, I'm antsy.
It's like eight o'clock.
He's like, I'm antsy.
I need to get out.
I need to move my body.
Think about it.
I went from being a PE teacher
and being really active all day
to being at home all day.
Yeah.
That's a big difference.
If I felt like I wanted to work out,
I would just play with my PE classes.
It's really good though.
One more bite.
He ate half of it.
Look at him.
No I didn't.
It's all about the angle you're showing.
On to the next.
So we are at Wendy's
and I don't really understand what we're getting here.
So this isn't necessarily a fall item,
but it's a limited edition item.
And so they have a Wednesday collaboration.
If you guys saw what's on this little board right here
that I'm looking at,
it literally says meal of misfortune.
Yes.
Featuring dips of dread, mystery sauces.
That's what we're gonna get.
That doesn't sound like something you would want to go get.
Is it gonna tell us what it is up here or what?
I don't know.
Rest in 10 pieces.
Dips of dread.
I'm dead.
This is so funny.
Cursed and crispy fries.
Are you really gonna eat cursed and crispy fries?
We're gonna bless it.
And we're gonna say in Jesus name,
we take away that curse.
Welcome to Wendy's.
May I take your order?
What's in the meal of misfortune?
10 nuggets of fries and a frosty.
Okay.
Can I do one of those please?
All right.
Just like that.
The one thing that I'm really sad
that we didn't do in time is,
do you guys remember when there was like Krispy Kreme
had their Harry Potter donuts
where you could bite into it
and know what house you were in?
It's like a Harry Potter theme.
You saw that one video,
the short that we posted a while back.
Unfortunately, Aspen is a Voldemort.
How do you say that?
No, not a Voldemort.
That's the name that shall never be named.
Oh my gosh, dude.
I'm bad with Harry Potter stuff.
Slytherin.
Slytherin, my goodness.
How did I not know that?
I honestly think that I might be a Slytherin.
Oh, you maybe should have told me that
before we got married.
I feel like it's such a Slytherin thing to not tell you.
That is a very Slytherin thing of you to do.
Thank you.
Look at that.
Bloody, just how I like it.
Very Slytherin thing to say.
Alex and I were gonna do like a little vlog
of us going and getting our Halloween costumes.
I don't know, Halloween actually is like
my least favorite holiday.
All right, let's go.
That's scary stuff right here.
Look at that.
Not Alex, just, oh, does it just say mystery?
Not Alex, just chilling in the drive-thru line.
He's like, I'm gonna just film.
Wendy's was being slow today anyways.
I wasn't holding anybody up.
Halloween is definitely our least favorite,
at least my least favorite holiday.
I just, I don't like the gore.
I don't either.
Halloween's not my jam.
Okay, here we go.
Let's give it a try.
I know what that look means.
She's gonna take a couple bites and then it's done for.
She's not gonna eat it.
I'm just kidding.
It's totally just like a, it's some sort of berry,
like a strawberry or raspberry.
Are you sure?
It honestly might be caramel that's dyed red.
Here is my mystery sauce.
Oh my gosh.
Dude, this is hilarious.
It literally looks like blood.
Babe, I'm gonna,
what if this is some sort of sweet and sour something?
I'm scared.
Do I just take a whole bite?
Just take a whole bite.
It smells like balsamic vinegar.
I don't know what that is.
It's spicy.
It's spicy?
Let me try.
It's so creepy.
It's spicy.
Whatever it is.
You're about to get hit with a level of spice.
Oh my gosh, are they all like that?
I have no idea what that is.
Oh, it's so-
Wait, before I eat the fries,
Lord, we pray a blessing over these fries.
They are not cursed anymore in the name of Jesus
and neither are any of the fries inside of Wendy's.
Yeah, it does have a little kick to it.
I don't know.
I wouldn't say it's bad though.
It's not good.
It's not my thing.
All I know is that Courtney is hungry,
so Courtney's gonna eat.
This is like, it's fun.
It's festive.
We're super festive.
We're Halloweeners.
Are we just planning on getting a donut or what?
I don't know.
This one says beach ready.
That doesn't seem very fall.
How can I help you?
Do you guys have any pumpkin flavored donuts
or anything like that?
I got three pumpkins left.
Can I do one of those please?
Okay.
And a pumpkin ice chai latte.
$7.77, first window please.
Thank you.
That looks good.
There, now we have one.
I hope you guys enjoyed this ASMR.
Someone rolling a garbage can past us.
What if we did this whole section in just ASMR?
You'd be really good at that.
That wasn't a dig at all.
Alex knows like, it's not him.
It's like anyone.
I cannot handle them chewing at all.
I'm sure, yeah.
It's not me, it's you.
Like Alex, I'm literally so in love with you.
So much that I don't even get mad at you
when you go, oh, oh, watch out for the car.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Brake, brake, brake.
Car, car, car.
Guys, this is what having a healthy relationship is.
Like just being able to tease each other.
I wish I could make fun of you.
I'm just so perfect.
Yeah, that's what I was gonna say too.
Yeah.
I think this is an iced pumpkin chai.
Yeah, and then we got a donut.
Yeah.
I started this video very hungry
and now I am very full.
I started this video uncaffeinated
and now I'm both caffeinated
and I think I have a little bit of a sugar high.
Fully expecting a sugar crash later.
Wait, this is delicious.
This is solid too.
I'm more looking forward to that.
I can taste like the spice.
Like there's like a spice to it.
And let's take this before you eat too much a bit
because I want a bite.
That's a good donut.
Oh!
I'm good.
It hit me.
It was like I took a sip, I was like, oh yeah.
La la la.
And then I was like.
Not really.
Wait, what hit you?
The, all of it.
The taste.
That's not my, that's not my thing.
Oh yeah, oh.
It's the aftertaste.
At first you're just like, oh milk, la de da.
And then all of a sudden it's just like not.
Sorry, we had to move spots, but we are back.
This is so good.
It's like a pumpkin.
I mean, you guys know.
I feel like every single year they have the pumpkin donuts.
I think it's solid.
I think I prefer pumpkin muffin
or pumpkin cookie over a donut.
Which one was a muffin, right?
I think I prefer that a little bit.
But also those usually have cream cheese,
like some type of frosting.
And I think that makes it a little bit better.
The last place that we're gonna go is Chick-fil-A.
I know that they have some sort of pretzel bun
that's new for the season.
But I don't know,
like I don't know if they have anything else
that's like fall related.
We were also potentially gonna hit Krispy Kreme.
But guys, like I think,
I think we've kind of like maxed out a little.
Yeah.
This is like a lot.
I'm already feeling the effects of all the sugar.
All right, let's talk about Halloween.
What do you want to be for Halloween this year?
I want to be a fairy.
Interesting.
I'm just kidding.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Whatever it is, whatever it is,
I want it to be like something that goes with you
and Aspen.
Aw.
You know, like I don't want to go solo on something.
Okay.
So what's something that us two and her,
like you know, and it just like correlates.
That'd be cool.
Like I put it on my Instagram story,
asking people for some ideas.
Yeah.
There were some decent ones.
I could be Peter Pan.
You could be Wendy and then her Tinkerbell.
Oh my God.
And then if you've ever watched Monsters, Inc.,
one of us would be Mike and one of us be Sully
and then she would be the little girl Boo.
Oh, I love that.
That'd be so cute.
Those are my two favorite ideas.
I think there were a couple other ones in there too.
But also if we dress up,
like we're not going trick or treating with her either.
Like she's nine months old.
Yeah.
She's not going to have any idea what's going on.
She's not eating any of the candy.
I don't need more candy.
I feel like a kid shouldn't go trick or treating
unless they can physically pick up the candy themselves.
Yes, I agree.
And obviously eat it too.
Halloween's just like never really been
like a holiday that I enjoy.
Mostly because there's like a ton of gore.
Skeletons, like all that stuff.
And like scary stuff.
That's just like not really my vibe.
We don't celebrate death in this household.
We celebrate life.
Yeah.
Can we please get one of those pretzel-
Pretzel cheddar club meal?
Yes, please.
You want the meal?
Just the sandwich actually, please.
Okay.
Let's give this pretzel burger a try here.
A PC club grilled.
PC pretzel chicken club.
Pretzel chicken club grilled sandwich.
I thought that it was going to be a little bit thicker.
Actually.
That's pretty thin for a burger bun.
Oh my gosh.
That's actually so thin.
I dripped some sauce.
Oh my goodness.
Just came out from underneath this thing.
My poor car.
This is my vehicle.
Honestly, ever since we got this car,
we've mostly just drive this one.
Guys, I'm a Honda gal.
Like I will drive Hondas probably for the rest of my life.
Like kids will drive Hondas.
Your next car will probably be a Honda truck.
Do they, yeah, they make pickups?
No?
I really want a pickup because there's just been
so many times where I'm like, man,
I wish I had a pickup to haul leaves
or pick up a mirror, stuff like that.
I thought it was solid.
I mean, a Chick-fil-A grilled sandwich
is good the way it is.
All right.
Is this even a pretzel?
It just tastes like a bun with something
that looks like a pretzel top.
Yeah, a little bit.
Could also be like an undercooked pretzel cut in half.
So that like one half is on the top
and one half is on the bottom,
which is why I think I was expecting it bigger.
Like I almost, for some reason,
thought that like the top was going to be
like a full pretzel.
Bottom was a full pretzel, but it's half.
It's good though.
I love these sandwiches in general.
But like the bottom just, again,
just looks like a normal hamburger bottom.
I think I would still prefer just a regular bun, personally.
If this had the type of cheese
that you dip pretzels into, I kid you not,
10 out of 10.
I would have loved that.
What a missed opportunity.
Chick-fil-A, I'm letting you know right now,
get the cheese sauce that you dip this in.
That would be unbelievable.
I love pretzels with cheese.
Overall, I thought it was decent.
Not the best thing ever, but we'll take it.
I know, like Chick-fil-A, where's your fall stuff?
We're waiting.
Yeah, we went.
We didn't have to wait very long.
You guys were pretty good at getting people
through the line, so we appreciate that.
They're a master.
But that was it for us trying our fast food items.
I know we definitely could have went
to like a couple other places.
Like we looked at like Krispy Kreme
and like Crumble or even like McDonald's
and they didn't have a ton.
Krispy Kreme did have their pumpkin spice,
but we already had a pumpkin spice donut.
Before we click off, we want to give a shout out
to three people who commented on our last video.
Oh no, it's kind of hard to like say their name.
Merk-u-lude?
Merkuloid.
Yes, you said that Domino's should totally sponsor you
and we agree.
We have Lynn Stanley.
Shout out Lynn.
And the last shout out is blueviolet192.
So thank you for commenting.
Comment down below if you guys want a shout out
in our next video.
Our camera just died, but we just wanted to say bye.
You cut my head off.
How dare you?
You hold it.
Okay, that's it.
Goodbye.
