McDonalds McRib? Burger King mini-cheeseburgers? Wendy's Hot Dogs? Here is a collection of weird and wacky fast food items that are now off the menu... which did you enjoy/miss the most?
As I know the Peterborough area in Ontario was a 'test' region for a multitude of mostly American fast-food products. Mickey D's pizza, curly fries, new hamburger recipes even McLobster for a short time in the 70s and early 80s. Strangely, it was all well-received yet none of it lasted. The trials were extended to Wendy's, Burger King and chain Fish and Chip franchise of the time. None of it remains.
Idk why but the song for Wendy’s salads starting at 2:59 is hilarious to me, especially the bass slap at like 3:07. What do flutes and slap bass have to do with Wendy’s salad bar? Also the guitar shredding in the chicken tenders commercial is pretty great too
It's a relic from the heat lamp era of fast food. Things tend to be a little more made to order nowadays, at least the burger assembly. They all like to say it's because they stopped using Styrofoam containers, but they could easily just have little paper boxes or packages of tomato and lettuce in the small fridge section with the kid's meal milks and the yogurt things I've never seen anyone eat in my lifetime. It's just more cost effective to eliminate the product all together. Like Michael Dorn said in Family Guy,"they have all the ingredients for a McDLT." So even then, it's not like a lost classic. I'd rather they sink their efforts into making that damn McRib a national product.
McDLT was a success, but the competitors bring more products with more ingredients than the traditional lettuce and tomato hamburger, in USA and Puerto Rico McDonald's makes this a big hit, but in 1997 the last McDLT left out in Puerto Rico. Now is called McNifica
That's right. It wasn't a failure at all. I've seen things come and go on every level of there for barely a season, like Hot Dogs and Chicken Wings, and various things that somehow are available in other countries. I mean, we had spicy McNuggets for barely a month. But the McDTL was around for some time until they went from heat lamps and Styrofoam to more fresh made burgers. Only place that still even has heat lamps is Burger King. There was something similar that was made in the more modern made to order era. Something called a "Daily Double" which is basically lettuce and tomato with mayo on a standard double cheeseburger. It was quietly discontinued, but if your lucky, they have them buried in the burger menu at the touch and go kiosk. Other than that, it's just cuz McD's is freaking cheap and slowly whittling down the menu so there's like 5 things in 2 variations.
I didn't know McD's previously released the cheesy melt. I thought when they had it a few years back it was new. They need to bring it back a third time! So good!
The Burger King Chicken Tenders is not longer in USA and Canada replaced by Chicken Nuggets. The Chicken Tenders is only available and exclusive for Puerto Rico and USVI. In Puerto Rico, the Chicken Tenders are very popular available on 6, 9 and 20 pieces, there are a 4 pieces variant on the King Menu.
Eh, I’d expect to pay that today. Maybe a bit of a rip off, but so is everything. It’s also from what, 30+ years ago, and the price is in Canadian dollars
God, I remember all those fads.... i am so old.... I never understood the love for the McPizzas, one of my high school friend loved them.... they were horrible, in my opinion, so dry...
@@senns2589 I worked at McD’s in the early 90’s, we sold the McPizza. It was made in an actual oven. There was a stack of super high temperature ovens in the back of the kitchen for them. The pizzas were a pain. When a customer ordered one, someone in the kitchen had to be pulled off burger dressing to make it. Because you had to get it in the oven as fast as possible, the pizza corner was always a mess of spilled toppings and the oily yellow garlic sauce they spread on the crust. You never ran through that area or you’d slip and fall. No microwave for the pizza, but we did microwave all of the burgers/sandwiches before they were served. The burgers (meat) were cooked on the grill, and then kept in a holding cabinet. After the burgers were assembled, they had to be heated up in a microwave before serving. We called it “Q-ing”. I guess corporate didn’t want customers to overhear someone in the kitchen saying “nuke those Macs”. “Q those Macs” sounds much better. I don’t think they do that anymore. I haven’t seen the big Q-ing ovens in their kitchens for a long time.
Mc Rib, a floppy sloppy rubber piece of blubber covered in ketchup flavored BBQ sauce....The Worst! Harvey's rocks and still has deep fried pickles!👍❤ I miss the Grimace plastic glove puppet toy..😥
Also Burger King Australia, also known as Hungry Jack's replaced the Chicken Tenders by the Chicken Nuggets, if you like the Chicken Tenders come to Puerto Rico, and enjoy it, but for a great taste take out a 20 piece up to 4 sauces, with big Pepsi and large fries...
Well, I’m glad that they brought back the big classic which is now the big bacon classic. On the Wendy’s hotdog commercial though, dude did a rip off of James Brown. and, I wish McDonald’s brought back the arch deluxe. That was really good back in the day.
I used to love the personal pizzas, and I remember ordering them still when my family moved to Windsor in 98. I remember them being really good and I used to really hate the wait, but now as an adult I think it was such a waste of money because I can make a frozen pizza at home. lol
2:02 The McDLT was the greatest burger McDonald's ever made 4:30 The Arch Deluxe, or as I like to call it, the Arch DeSchmucks. Don't get me wrong, it was okay, but not worth the price they charged. Another thing that ticked me off about it, too, was that the place it had on the menu, used to be occupied by the far superior McDLT. (When McDonald's dropped the McDLT, at the same time, it introduced the McLean Deluxe; a few years later, the Arch Deluxe replaced the McLean Deluxe.)
I remember how much I really liked the Big Classic at Wendy’s back in the day. On the other hand, both the McDLT and the Pizza at McDonald’s were OK. As for the Arch Deluxe, to me, it was nothing more than a fancied up version of a Quarter Pounder with Cheese (no wonder why it bombed). On another note, I always got a kick out of that teenager (in the Burger King commercial) who mispronounced the French word “voila” as “viola”. Lastly, the actress in the McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets Shanghai commercial (Corrine Behrer) also starred in that short-lived TV show (from 1989) “Free Spirit” (which also starred, coincidentally, a teenage Alyson Hannigan). On that show, she played a friendly witch who could cast spells on people.
Please come back bk with them sticks yall called chicken strips they was so good then you turned into crown shapes they was bomb. Do a comeback and I promise u will sell. Be a better day than chick fil a
