Here, for a while at McDonald’s there was a 🍔 called “the 1955” and it was the best, big pieces of onion, an special sauce, buns and big piece of beef with bacon (for Europe standards anyways) it disappeared once and came back for an encore only to be removed again and never return.
Arby’s triple cheese and bacon was amazing
McDonalds pre 90s fries, McDonalds fried apple and cherry pies, McDonalds pre-90s shakes, Dairy Queen’s Queen burger, Sonics pre 2000s burgers and the Sonic fish sandwich.
I feel like I’m cursed or McD’s is taking a huge nose dive. I haven’t had a good, hot, not-soggy, salty McDonalds french fry in like 2-3 years. Every time I go, the fries are super gross. I’ve taken several road trips and the only consistency I’ve experienced is how terrible the fries have been.
Always ask for fresh fries if you’re not in a hurry. If its a rush you don’t need to worry about it, but that guarantees you’ll get them crispy and as good as they’ll ever be…
Good tip. You’d think that I would get lucky every once in a while.
80’s-90’s McDonald’s apple danish
McDonald’s Salad Shaker or the McDLT
McDs also had an excellent salad wrap for a couple of years.
Taco Bell Choco-Taco. Yeah, the reanimated corpse of it lives on in some gas station frozen sections, but it’s a shitty product. The original one sold at Taco Bell in the 90s was god tier.
I hate to tell you, but even the shitty Choco Tacos were discontinued a few years ago
It doesn’t matter. They were dead to me a long time ago.
Did you ever look at the nutritional information on the original Choco Taco?
I think one taco had about 50% of your recommended daily amount of saturated fat.
Just have 2, they’re probably not that expensive.
A&W has really good seasonal burgers that they retire every season.
At McDonalds in India, there was a chocolate thick shake. It was basically chocolate shake that was frozen. It was served from a softie-machine of sorts. I had to suck the straw so effing hard to have 1 sip of the shake.
I used to buy it and let it melt for a while , just so that I can drink it through straw.
They discontinued it. Idk why.
It was actually the steak bagel breakfast sandwich at McDonalds… until that garbage institution actually brought it back defector! It trned out to be a weaker approximatation with different/less seasoning on meat and different sauce, but close enough for nostalgia
Burger King chicken nuggets from the 90s, before the recipe changed to crap. If I had to pick a flavor that I associate with my childhood, this would be it.
The Angus Mushroom & Swiss burger from McDonald’s. The Angus was the closest thing they ever had to a real burger, but they were too expensive for most people and were eventually discontinued. Fun fact: wages have stagnated yet their basic burgers now cost more than the Angus did.
Runza used to sell frozen dark chocolate-dipped cheesecake on a stick. They were delicious, and small enough that you wouldn’t feel guilty about ordering one.
Omg the McDonald’s Angus burgers were FIRE. I ate wayyyy too many of the Bacon and Cheese ones and occasionally the Mushroom. I even loved they got put in their boxes with the paper burger holders LIKE EVERY BURGER FUCKING SHOULD.
Yes! Even Wendy’s nuggs suck now, and that’s a real shame. They were the closest thing to that peppery goodness I remember of childhood. Also, nice low key ‘fuck you’ to capitalism and corporate greed, I dig it.
Wendy’s ruined the bacon too. It’s the same garbage you’d get at Burger King, and it’s significantly smaller and tastes worse than the bacon they were using a year or so ago.
The way Wendy’s fries used to be. pre 2010
Polish dog at Einstein Bagels.
$1.50 JBCs. Not worth the 3.50 they cost now. Used to be bigger and cheaper.
Also, the Arch Deluxe and personal pizzas from McDonald’s.
The Mac Jr (1 patty, no middle bun). I used to order it with a small fry. I’m small, so it was the perfect size for me so I could finish everything and not be stuffed.
How can no one else miss Taco Bell’s naked chicken chalupa? I loved that thing.
And the McRib is missed every time it leaves.
Yessss!! And when they had taquitos with the different dipping sauces!
Ahh! Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to remember what the chalupa was called for months.
Glad I could help
The original Frito Burrito!
Rally-Q
For a VERY brief time in 2010, Burger King sold bone-in short ribs.
Guys, those were literally the best fucking short ribs I have had in my life. High end BBQ places couldn’t even come close. Every Burger King would sell out like instantly whenever they got a shipment in. And then after 2 months… Gone. Forever.
