The staff of Coins2Day recently assembled its predictions for 2017. Here’s one of our forecasts.

This year Burger King (BKW) tried to take a bite of Chipotle’s (CMG) lunch with its Whopperrito, and McDonald’s took a pass at Starbucks’ seasonal magic with pumpkin-spiced fries. Here, the weird ways food giants will (or, okay, might) try to knock each other off in 2017.

KFC (YUM) goes after McDonald’s with the 12-piece Bucket of Cheeseburgers.

Applebee’s Tuña Colada: rich in omega-3s and rum. Look out, Long John Silver’s.
