15 discontinued fast food items

[Shawon0Meter]

The worst part about ordering pizza is the time it takes to prepare. McDonald's has the speed covered, so they should bring back the McPizza for one more run. Imagine the flavor explosion in your mouth when you order a chicken nugget pizza.

Burger King got rid of this extremely popular menu item that made the switch between dipping fries an art form. Chicken fries were delicious and were so easy to eat. Why did you take them away from us BK?

The Grande Soft Taco was one of the best value items ever offered on Taco Bell's already cheap menu. This delicious taco featured double beef and a second tortilla with nacho cheese in between. Aside from being tasty, the Grande Soft Taco only cost about 50% more than a regular soft taco for nearly double the food.

It's just not the same ordering a medium and a large fry. They all belong in the same box, a box with the glorious label of SUPER SIZED. Sure, they may have led to a dramatic increase in gastric bypass operations, but they are too good.

The name, the size, the toppings. Nothing is more perfect than Pizza Hut's Bigfoot Pizza. Great for football games, small parties or binge eating alone.

They tease us, introduce the perfect bun and then rip it away like it never existed. Wendy's needs to bring this pretzel bun back ASAP.

Eating salad on the go is a pain. McDonalds helped solve this with the McSalad Shakers. Basically a salad in a cup, the salads were actually good and it was very easy to spread all your dressing across.

Wendy's new sea salt fries would go perfect with one of their classic hot dogs. Add in a pretzel bun and you have perfection.

Why have a big slab of meat on your burger when you can have a juicy slice of grilled pineapple. For one year in the 1960s, McDonalds attempted this and a small test run could help bring it back again.

Sometimes the simple options are better. The Yumbo was basically BK's version of a ham sandwich. After discontinuing this item, they had a Hamlette sandwich that added an egg to the mix. Now both are gone and the world is missing out.

Everyone knows about the Blizzard, but the DQ Breeze replaced the ice cream with a healthier frozen yogurt. Would be a great option to offer today, especially with all those frozen yogurt bars popping up.

Forget the bland ones now, or the strange crown shaped options, true Burger King fans want their original chicken tenders back. Featuring a long shape instead of a nugget, these tenders had the perfect blend of spices and were perfect for dipping.

Wendy's Superbar. Wendy's used to be equipped with a salad bar that featured many options and delights for customers. Bringing this back would give people more options and create a shake-up in the fast food industry.

Other than the weird box that looks like a Star Wars ship, the McDLT was a great invention because it separated the parts of the burger and prevented the dreaded squished sandwich syndrome.

No wants to order a Quarter Pounder. Instead, it's a lot cooler to order the Big N' Tasty. Time to bring this back for the namesake alone.

Smash Burger has a better pretzel bun burger than Wendy's, if you really miss them. They actually introduced the Pretzel Bun long before anyone else within national fast-food chains. Price is comparable, and you have more dressing options.

Big N Tasty can still be made. McDonalds has all of the ingredients and it stays on the special menu, with Triple cheeseburger, double Big Mac, and Daily Double. Now the Arch Deluxe required it's own unique mild honey dijon mayonnaise sauce. That is long gone.

I miss the Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya from Popeyes. It's technically not discontinued(like McPizza isn't technically discontinued, just very rare and local), but every Popeye's near me stopped selling it.

Also loved those Zesty Chicken Border Bowls from Taco Bell.

The Steakhouse XT from Burger King was awesome, so were the rest of the BK Angus burgers(the McDonalds Angus Burgers were crap IMO). The Loaded Steakhouse Burger was my favorite.

The Mcdonalds secret menu thing is real?

The Mcdonalds secret menu thing is real?

Every place has a form of secret menu. The McDonalds one is actually programmed into most of the touchscreens. A secret menu is just food items that can be made with existing ingredients. Also, not listed on the immediate menu.

Big N Tasty is just a Quarter Pounder bun, starting with the crow(top bun): Squirt of mayonnaise, diced onions, pickles, iceberg lettuce, cheese, 1/4 patty, cheese, ketchup, heel(bottom bun). All stuff McDonalds will carry for a long time, because the mayo is used on mcchickens(and other things, but naming the big seller), pickles(lots of things), diced onions(Quarter Pounders), Lettuce(premium chicken again), and meat/cheese/bun/ketchup, almost everything. <-This response is serious, but hilarious when you combine it with the visual from my current avatar.

Something I used to order, was a grilled chicken sandwich, but I asked them to fry the chicken like they fried the crispy chicken. Some places wont do that, but if you have a logical manager, they realize that it all cooks the same(as far as food safety goes) and there is no contamination. Plus, the fryers are kept hot all the time, so it's not any more hassle than getting a freshly made nuggets or crispy chicken.

*edit, forgot the ketchup. Also didn't know, the Big Xtra and McDLT are nearly the same, differences include a special clamshell with two tomato slices.

Big Foot pizza ruled.

 

[nvanprooyen]

I forgot all about that one. Good memories. A friend and I in high school used to split a big foot pizza fairly regularly. Dat high school metabolism....

Burger King chicken fries and the old tenders....those were my childhood.

Where are the kale enthusiasts to chastise us for our wicked fast food eating ways? :lol:

Not discontinued, but does anyone remember like 4 years ago when Taco Bell had the 5-layer burritos for 89 cents? They were on that value menu for like 3 or 4 months I believe..... me and my roommates in college cashed in lol.

Then eventually they bumped it up to 99 cents and now they are like 1.29$.

Want KFC Popcorn Chicken and BK Chicken Fries back so much. BK's old tenders too.

What ever happened to Rocky Rococo Pizza?...Good stuff

My friend back in high school had pet chickens. We would get KFC Popcorn Chicken and feed it to them, and they would eat it all up. Cannibals.

Oh my goodness popcorn chicken from KFC was the best. I used to get that all the time too.

Hmm...popcorn chicken, chicken fries, chicken tenders...noticing a trend here.

 

[AuCN]

Anybody remember the McJordan? Those were delicious. That was a very short period of time, at least in my town.

Also, when Taco Bell used to have the 59, 79, 99 cent menus. So cheap.

Wasn’t this called the double-decker taco or something like that? I seem to remember a commercial in the 90’s that had Shaq and some other basketball player both eating one while riding on a 2-person bicycle.

Why have a big slab of meat on your burger when you can have a juicy slice of grilled pineapple. For one year in the 1960s, McDonalds attempted this and a small test run could help bring it back again.

IIRC, they had a contest where they made this sandwich and the fish filet and whichever one sold better, it would be added to the permanent menu. Obviously the fish sandwich won.

Sometimes the simple options are better. The Yumbo was basically BK's version of a ham sandwich. After discontinuing this item, they had a Hamlette sandwich that added an egg to the mix. Now both are gone and the world is missing out.

I swear I just saw something like this at a BK not long ago. They put the same stuff on their crescent breakfast sandwiches.

Forget the bland ones now, or the strange crown shaped options, true Burger King fans want their original chicken tenders back. Featuring a long shape instead of a nugget, these tenders had the perfect blend of spices and were perfect for dipping.

I used to love this. What upsets me more is the fact they don’t offer honey as a dipping sauce anymore. I always got it to dip my fries in.

Other than the weird box that looks like a Star Wars ship, the McDLT was a great invention because it separated the parts of the burger and prevented the dreaded squished sandwich syndrome.

No wants to order a Quarter Pounder. Instead, it's a lot cooler to order the Big N' Tasty. Time to bring this back for the namesake alone.

These sandwiches were basically the same thing. Also the Arch Deluxe. Now they have the “daily double” which is again, basically the same.

There used to be one in the Wisconsin Dells but I don’t know if it’s still there. We used to go up there every couple of years for vacation and we’d always get it at least once.

It’s good pizza but I always had to make sure there was a bathroom nearby afterwards because it went right through me.

Does anyone remember McDonald's Touchdown Burger? It was on a long hoagie roll with 3 or 4 beef patties.
