BurgerFi is hoping to stir up a new round of burger wars with its latest mouth-watering creation. Chicken sandwich, who?

The chain known for "better burgers" has announced the SWAG Burger, which stands for Spicy Wagyu, and the new item promises to dazzle the tastebuds and challenge other fast-food brands. While the chain already offers several burgers featuring patties made from premium Wagyu beef, this is the first spicy burger on their menu.

To be exact, the patty is made with a blend of two-parts Wagyu beef and one-part brisket and is paired with charred jalapeños, candied ghost pepper bacon, sweet tomato relish, habañero pepper jack cheese, and hot steak sauce-aka flavor coming in from all directions. According to the press release, this combo proved to be the winning one in the chain's taste-tests, which surveyed over 2,500 participants.

"Once we had the idea of the spicy burger, it was fun to start playing with ingredients and textures. The candied ghost pepper bacon is perfect for those guests who are more adventurous. That mixed with the boldness of wagyu and creaminess and kick of habañero pepper jack cheese really rounds out the burger to make it one of the most flavorful menu items created at BurgerFi," says Paul Griffin, BurgerFi's Chief Culinary Officer.

But if you want to try this bad boy, you better hurry. The chain is giving fans less than two months to indulge in the SWAG Burger before it's gone. It will land on the menus on March 15 and stay there until May 9, and you can get it in-store, online, or through the BurgerFi app, as well as through third-party delivery at participating locations.

shape: By now, you're well aware that soda is, well, dangerous. It's the one drink you should simply refrain from drinking whenever you can. In fact, it just might be contributing to that soda belly of yours.In a study of about 1,000 adults over the course of six years, people who drank soda or other sugar-sweetened beverages gained an extra 1.8 pounds of visceral fat-the fat that sits inside your gut, damaging your internal organs and pushing your belly out. And visceral fat has been shown to increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, among other ills. Yikes.So why is soda so good at making us look bad? It's the sugar. The American Heart Association recommends women consume no more than 100 calories (25 grams or 6 teaspoons) per day on sugar and men no more than 150 calories (36 grams or 9 teaspoons) per day.This amount is about 20 grams less than the usual 45 grams of sugar found in many sodas and other sweetened beverages. And if it's not sugar, then it's artificial sweetener, which is 180 times sweeter than sugar and more damaging to your waistline.To help you make better choices, we've ranked the more than 100 of the most popular sodas. We look at calories, sodium, carbs, sugar and examined each can's ingredients and gave demerits to sodas with more chemicals and additives than those that were nutritionally similar.Click through to see where your favorite fizzy drinks fall in our best and worst sodas list, ranked from worst-to-best. (Although, "best" still doesn't mean healthy!) And if you're looking for other beverages to cut from your shopping list, check out the 50 Drinks With More Sugar Than a Hershey's Bar.
