10. McDonalds ice cream cone — 200 calories
While customers complained that McDonald's ice cream machines were frequently broken this year, that didn't stop the dessert from being a frequent Google search.
9. Zima —185 calories
MillerCoors tried to capitalize on '90s nostalgia by reintroducing Zima, a malt-based, citrus-flavored alcoholic drink, for a limited time this year.
8. Poke bowl — 260 calories
While the poke bowl has a number of variations, it often features raw fish cut into cubes and served over rice and vegetables with soy or other sauces. The Food Network came up with a simple recipe that has just 260 calories.
7. Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato — 210 calories
The Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato is the first Starbucks drink to be made with coconut milk as its base.
6. Triple Double Crunchwrap — 700 calories
Taco Bell upped the ante with this enormous version of its Crunchwrap Supreme, which featured a second layer of beef and nacho sauce separated by a tostada shell.
5. Cascara Latte — 240 calories
Though it's no longer available from Starbucks, the Cascara Latte added cascara syrup and toppings that brought hints of cherry, coconut, and cane sugar to a normal latte. Cascara berries are made when cherries are dried up. A 16-ounce drink made with 2% milk contains 240 calories.

Business Insider's Hollis Johnson was not impressed by this mini-Big Mac, which removes a beef patty and a piece of bread from the original.

2. Grand Mac — 860 calories
McDonald's introduced its super-sized version of the Big Mac in January. It has 61% more beef than the original Big Mac.
1. Unicorn Frappuccino — 410 calories
While some weren't thrilled by its taste, Starbucks' Unicorn Frappuccino got plenty of attention on social media during its limited run. While 2% milk is standard in most Starbucks drinks now, Starbucks' website lists whole milk as the default for the Unicorn Frappuccino, which means a 16-ounce drink packs 410 calories and 59 grams of sugar.
