I wouldn't really call them fast food since they're usually made to order and take some time, and you can't really get them in a drive through or anything. But mochi donuts are legit amazing, and the faster they catch on the happier I'll be. The fluffiness is out-of-this-world, they're usually not oily at all so they go down easy/don't feel greasy like some donuts can, and the Japanese glaze flavors I've had were all perfection. (I inherited the Japanese palate for sweets, but I'm willing to bet most people will find them delicious anyways if stuff like Pocky is an indicator.) I think my favorite part about them too, is the ones I had were like in the pictures in the link where they were made as little connected spheres, and that makes them perfect to share since it's easy to pull them apart and pop the spheres in your mouth one at a time.

If you're lucky enough to get live near somewhere that serves these, do yourself a favor and get some. This article lists a few locations, but in The Before Times, there's a mochi donut shop in J-Town in SF that I used to go to, and any TTers in proximity would be hard pressed to find a better reason to leave the house.

Edit: here's some pics I dug up from back in November

I had some spicy nuggets from McDick's. They were not bad! Not great, but pretty ok. The new hot sauce too was actually really good. Like, I want these on chicken wings someday.

Of course, McD's gotta give you the D at some point - so my 20 piece was only ~17 pieces, and half of them were just regular nuggets. What a horrible company.

I mean, I think it's a bad idea b/c I hate messy fast food, and I don't particularly like meatballs either. But ppl love meatball subway sandos, this seems like a similar idea to that.

Yes, but the subway bread should be able to contain the meatballs better than a bun. (In theory. In practice whenever I have a meatball sub there is a good chance I'll be wearing some of it by the end of my meal.)

Count me among those inevitably disappointed it isn't called "the McMeatball."

This is the best use of their vintage V-cut.

Del Taco Unveils New Peach & Blueberry Lemonade Poppers And Mini Popper Shakes With Popping Boba - The Fast Food Post

Del Taco getting on the boba-train is weird. Especially when it's just like, boba pearls in lemonade or ice cream. I'll try it out tho b/c I'm a mark.

Yesterday was the last day for this limited run of the Little Caesar's pretzel-crust pizza. We tried it on a whim on Friday and holy shit. I mean, it's obviously terrible for you but especially after a year of mostly abstaining from eating anything other than home-cooked meals this is exactly the kind of sloppy I want to get when I'm feeling dirty.

I went down to Burger King to try their new Ch'king sandwich (there's a tortured portmanteau if ever there was one), and it's all right. They put a big 'ol crispy piece of chicken between two buns, drown it in sauce, and add thick, bitter pickles, which is the status quo for southern-style chicken sandwiches in fast food restaurants. You can get it Deluxe to broaden the flavor profile with lettuce and tomatoes, and I'd recommend that, because southern chicken sandwiches are a little too... straightforward for my tastes.

The sandwich was fine, but it was the decor of this Burger King that really caught my attention. Have you been to one of these restaurants lately? The graphic designer who makes all the onscreen menus and posters and artwork for the food containers must be commuting from the 1970s to his office. Everything's plastered with the dumpy classic BK logo and LSD-laced fonts. It's kind of unsettling. I'm middle aged and I barely remember the 1970s. What's going to be the reaction from millennials who have no idea what any of this crap is? It'll be like they set foot on Mars.

Oh yeah, there was a bunch of buzz about this at the start of the year. Just Google "Burger King new logo" and you'll get tons of stuff like this.

I think I always kinda preferred the old logo, so the new one sits right by me. Seems like they're following a similar trend as Pizza Hut -- at least, Pizza Hut in the States. At least this rebranding seems to have made its way north.

Given the adjectives printed on their food wrappers, maybe they should make a Jill Sandwich with "Itchy Tasty" on the top.

BK food is vile, and whoever runs them seems to try their hardest to systematically both make their food as shitty as possible, while also making sure their employees/stores are as fucked as possible to take away any possibility you'll end up with something edible if you patronize them.
