Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesWhen you think of salad, you probably think of something healthy and green. Well, not all salads fit that description. Viral 'Candy Salad' is the new Valentine's Day trend.
So, what is 'Candy Salad?' Are we actually putting candy into our salads now? No! Thankfully, we are not.
Viral 'Candy Salad' Is The New Valentine's Day Trend
Candy Salad seems to be taking over TikTok in time for Valentine's Day. Content Creator Jillian Pickard is a stay-at-home mom in Massachusetts, and is now going viral for the Candy Salad she made with 20 different candies in the mix.
A Candy Salad is when you combine a bunch of different candies into a bowl all together. The Peanut M&M's are next to some Skittles, which are side-by-side with some of those Valentine's Hearts, throw in some Starburst, or any personal favorite and you've got a Candy Salad!
It's sort of like when I was a kid going into Taco Bell and using all the different sodas at the fountain and putting them all into my cup. A little Coke, a little Sierra Mist, a dash of Baja Blast, and some Cherry Pepsi. Boom. A beautiful creation. That's how I feel about Candy Salad. You're just combining a bunch of sweet flavors together.
Pickard told Fox News Digital, "I had seen a couple of other creators doing candy salad-type videos, and I didn't see anyone doing any Valentine's one yet."
So, she got to it. She took pretty much all the Valentine's candy you could think of or find and threw it together. Now, she's the talk of the internet for it. Personally, I don't mind it one bit. You can pick and choose what you want. It's not like having them sit together is going to change their flavor or anything.
This isn't the only trend during Valentine's Day, either. There's now Broccoli-infused chocolates and new slang you should be familiar with for Valentine's Day!

5 Best Fast Food Items On The Value Menu
Today, there are seemingly unlimited options in the fast food landscape. You have options for burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and more. Anything you want you can have. When you're on-the-go and looking for a quick bite, there's nothing better than the value menu. Every fast food restaurant has one. Here are the best fast food items on the value menu.
We all know that fast food is appealing because of its low price and easy access. With prices for combos on the rise, I find myself looking at the value menu more often than ever before. I need to save where I can!
Best Of The Best
I have spent so much time in drive-thrus that I think I could be considered an expert witness in a court case, at this point. I've seen delicious items come and go, prices climb, and experiences all the promos and deals. Why did KFC get rid of the Twister? When will McDonald's bring back the famous Snack Wraps? These are all questions I ask every day, and sadly have no answers for. However, one day...we will get them back. I truly believe it in my heart of hearts.
I could go on and on about my love for the value menu. I'd say at least once a week I think back on my high school days when the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy's was only 99 cents. Do you remember that? 99 cents! It was amazing. Now, the price for one JBC is closer to $3 than it is 99 cents. I feel like this is the new version of that old "back in my day, we'd walk 2 miles to school up hill both ways! stories your grandparents would tell. Now, these stories are all about how low the value menu prices were back in our day. "When I was your age, every item on the dollar menu was a dollar!"
After years of research, I've finally identified the best of the best when it comes to value menus. On this list, you'll find burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and even some items that fall into the 'miscellaneous' category. Without further delay, let's get to the list!
The 5 Best Fast Food Items On The Value Menu
Junior Bacon Cheeseburger (JBC) - Wendy's
Bacon...mayo...crispy lettuce...what's not to love? It's one of the best sandwiches in fast food, and it's on the value menu.
McChicken - McDonald's
It never misses. Of all the value menu chicken sandwiches, none are better than the McChicken.

McDonald's has announced it will make changes to its low-priced Dollar Menu, which includes items like coffee, small fries, hamburgers and apple pies. The new menu, dubbed the Dollar Menu and More, will offer some higher priced options such as the grilled Onion Cheddar Burger and a McChicken sandwich.

Whopper Jr. - Burger King
It's actually an impressive size! I mean, have you seen the size of the OG Whopper? It lives up to its name, that's for sure. The Jr. works perfectly fine for me.
Spicy Potato Soft Taco - Taco Bell
It's delicious and it's only a dollar. Remember when value menus used to be dollar menus? *audible sigh* I do. Taco Bell is keeping the tradition alive.
Cheese Curds - Culver's
It's a rare treat to enjoy Culver's Cheese Curds. It's a rare treat to enjoy cheese curds, at all. You can get fries anywhere, but you can't get curds at every drive-thru. If I drive by a Culver's I have to stop and get some.
