And finally, the latest fast food trend that’s going to drive parents crazy: Soda for breakfast.

Three chains — Steak ‘n Shake and some Taco Bells and Sonics — are promoting breakfast deals that include drinks like a 28-ounce Coke, starting at 6 in the morning. Some Taco Bells in California are testing out Mountain Dew with orange juice.
