In the mid 90's McDonalds went all out in trying to make itself a pure dinner destination rather than a quick service restaurant.
McPasta and McPizza were introduced and so were sides like Mashed Potatoes. Obviously it didn't work out, but let's get a thread of failed menu items on fast food restaurants or otherwise
You now remember the Wendy's Superbar
>>7280172
Never even heard of/seen this before. What was this all about?
>>7280189
It was basically a buffet. Pasta, salad and Mexican food.
Make your own pasta, nachos or salad, all you can eat.
>>7280189
It was a salad bar that had chili and baked potatoes as well.
The Taco Bell burger had a cult following if memory serves.
The Bell Beefer.
>>7280261
I could see why that went wrong.
>going inside a fast food restaurant
>>7280272
lol, my dad was actually just talking about these. It was basically the only fast food place that offered a sloppy joe.
>>7280291
That might have been the reason they ended it, but I remember it being disgusting. And I like Wendy's.
Imagine how disgusting the average person is. Buffets are already pretty gross, but now it's fast food tier.
>>7280136
Flips love this shit, along with their McRice. Just didn't catch along in the US
>>7280302
how can buffets even exist
it would take nothing at all to throw some cum into one of the dishes
sure, the cook could do it too, but open it up to the general public, and you've got a much greater chance of it happening
>>7280318
probably because this thought only resides in psychotic people. most humans are normal
Burger King tried to make a run at Krystal and White Castle with their Burger Shots
>>7280340
I remember these, they were fucking terrible. It wasn't even just that they didn't quite accomplish what they aimed at, but the taste was just completely off in a way that I can't even identify. Odd.
>onion nuggets
Fucking gross. Glad they discontinued them.
Sry forgot pic
>>7280315
If I were brought up on Filipino cuisine, I think I'd consider a diet consisting entirely of McD's fries a luxury.
McDonald's hula burger
It was the original idea that was up against the chicken sandwich back in the 60s, but they decided to go with the mcchicken instead.
Brought pic related back in the 90s. Terrible idea.
Stuffed crust pizza was a meme in the late 90's. Not sure this is still available.
After supersize me came out in 2004 McDonald's discontinued the supersize option.
What a time we use to live in when you could get a half gallon soda and nearly a pound of fries in one fucking sitting
>>7280380
...really? have you not ordered pizza in the last decade?
>>7280367
So... onion rings that weren't rings?
>>7280381
I hate liberals.
the mcd pizza was very good
maybe it didnt last because they had to cook it to order and people couldnt wait the 10 minutes
as usual mcd only likes to server shit food. they always remove the good stuuf they try
anyone remember the mdlt?
McLobster was a thing for a minute.
Looks fuckin nasty.
>>7280389
Hear, hear!
>>7280389
>fast food
>liberals
Perfect correlation faggot
I remember McDonald's marketed the shit out of the Arch Deluxe and nobody gave a fuck about it
>>7280404
>what is super size me
>what is extrapolated NYC "no big gulp"
Kids, I swear...
>>7280367
>deep fried chunk of onion
I can see why that didn't catch on
>>7280395
Quebec here, we get them back erry time it's lobster season.
>>7280340
Those where fucking awesome...
At 3am when you where baked and half drunk, looking for a White Castle....
>>7280421
>expressing your political agenda in a discontinued fast food thread
Baby boomers, I swear...
>>7280427
Honestly that seems pretty good. It's a mystery why they didn't just offer onion rings tho
>>7280421
Stop trying to derail the thread with your bullshit boomerfag. We're talking fast food.
>>7280430
Are they any good?
Pretty sure that CiCi's pwned the pizza buffet meme and never lost course
>>7280447
Hey, you're the one biting, retard.
>>7280427
Just looks like white castle onion chips
>>7280454
Wow that's really interesting >>/pol/
>>7280462
Is that spinach artichoke dip?
On that note, they just released a kale salad this year. I expect it to bomb.
>>7280451
Not the Quebec fag, but Alberta.
They are ok. Expensive for what you get but it IS real lobster. Kinda like a cheap egg salad made with lobster if that makes sense. Mayo, celery. The bun is really soft too.
Worst part is KNOWING you bought lobster at McDonalds.
>>7280461
>voices opinions
>realizes pwnage
>masks as bait
>>7280466
Cole slaw
>>7280466
I think that's colslaw. Could be wrong.
>>7280471
I'm not the one who posted it, yet you keep replying.
Are you new to 4chan? Trufax: If you ignore the trolls, then you succeed in shutting them down. But... you know... you're a fucking idiot.
Back when hotdogs were a meme, I remember the McDonalds Dog. Never had one though...
>>7280465
He's right though.
Fuck spurlock
>>7280436
lel I had an internship in college 3 years ago that make $50k. its not my fault youre stupid
>>7280483
In WI, a recurring food is a Johnsonville brat with onions and pickles(?) on the menu.
Why anyone would pay five bucks plus for a brat when they're not a captive audience at a ballgame however, I do not know...
>>7280483
>lettuce
no wonder it failed
>>7280519
my mom for one
for some god damn reason whenever mcdonalds bring that back
or we go to a restaurant that sells brats
she would always get that over everything else
Remember the Michael Jordan burger and the michael jordan bbq sauce at mcondalds?
>>7280172
I haven't been to a Wendy's since these were around and apparently if they're gone I guess I'm a little disappointed but not like it actually mattered
>>7280340
these were actually really fucking good.
>>7280140
Holy shit! I haven't thought about those awesome fuckers in so long! Wtf were they thinking taking those off the menu?
People always forget about this
>>7280659
I wholeheartedly disagree.
>>7280442
I remember liking those
these weren't bad
also does BK still have the spicy tendercrisp chicken sammy? that shit was really good
>>7280664
They had the chili burritos back for a little bit recently
>>7280367
thats some Canadian looking shit there m8
Anyone remember Wendy's pitas?
>>7280668
>Colgate
T-the toothpaste brand..?
>>7280515
>that make $50k
>>7280136
> McSpaghetti
> doesn’t come in a bowl
>>7280189
>What was this all about?
It was about people sneezing on and wiping their boogers on salad fixings.
>>7280482
What's a troll?
Did Burger King stop offering their corn dogs?
I haven't been to one in months but back in the summer, I managed to get a corn dog twice, before they started saying they were all out.
Never tried their hot dogs but the corn dogs were alright.
>>7280380
Granted I never order Pizza Hut anymore either but good lord even I know this is still a thing...
>>7280393
>as usual mcd only likes to server shit food. they always remove the good stuuf
Indeed, their chopped beefsteak sandwich was great and it's never returned.
>>7280901
i saw them like a month ago, haven't bothered to check back. Maryland.
>>7280708
>mfw I actually worked at one of those shit holes and didn't even notice
it's like a mcchicken but with a veggie patty
i'd actually probably buy it if they still made it
>>7280272
Taco Bueno has something like this. It's basically a sloppy joe with no veggies. Shit-tier, but a good drunk food. Don't know if Taco Bueno is nation-wide, though. Probably not. The only thing they do better than Taco Bell is bean burritos.
>>7280933
This.
>>7280886
Considering most interns make nothing, that's pretty good.
>>7281079
What's Facebook?
>>7281084
You tell me, Chad.
>>7280908
That looks horrifying
Like a beef mcrib
>>7281093
Took you that long to post a pasta? Lol.
>>7280470
You get lobster in Alberta?
>>7281096
wait faster? Like this?
>>7280892
>>7281084
>>7281093
>>7281142
Fuck off, retard.
You know, some of these weren't exactly "failed", they were just limited time promotions
In any case, I'll just consider it a forgotten items thread
>>7281142
>>7281096
>>7281088

>McAfrika
This unrepentant racism is finally catching up with Norway
>>7281180
cant tell if stupid or dumb
>>7280697
>also does BK still have the spicy tendercrisp chicken sammy?
Dunno, but my local place doesn't have the spicy firecracker sauce anymore. It's a damn shame, they would use it instead of mayo on the spicy dollar chicken and it was fucking great.
>>7280442
I'd stab somebody for those to brought back.
Pic related too, fuck you Wendy's for only having any given kind of premium fry sauce last 5 weeks
>>7281213
>saying the word Africa is racist now
>>7280483
>Back when hotdogs were a meme
I don't ever remember a time when hotdogs were more popular than they are now? Every body likes a good fuckin' hot dog. Not really a meme is it? That's like saying steak is a meme. Who the fuck wouldn't eat a good steak every time they had the chance
>>7281219
The encherito was discontinued like a decade ago, you're either thinking of the smothered burrito or you're lying
https://www.tacobell.com/food
>>7281160
why is there food in this pic
rest in peace, Arby's philly beef toasted sub
the angus memesub will never replace you in my heart
>>7281239
That's why it didn't last very long. They never had it in.
>>7281220
If you asked them they'd do up a burger in that shit and not a chicken patty. I don't know why they just didn't offer burgers done up like that as the promotion.
>>7280381
You still can
>infinite refills
>two large fries
>>7280389
Stopping you from getting fat on a single serving of fries is not liberal. It's authoritarian.
>>7280932
I think you can substitute a veggie patty for most McD burgers, there's just no dedicated veggie burger on the menu.
>>7281236
just ask them you autist, its a beef burrito with sauce and cheese on top served in a baked potato container
>>7280372
I think it was actually against the filet o'fish, aimed at Catholics who wouldn't eat meat on a Friday
>>7280272
Looks good
>>7280315
Actually we dont. Majority prefers the taste of Jollibee's spaghetti. I still wonder why this is still in the menu
>>7280414
bad advertising.
>>7281074
he was critiquing the tense
>>7280908
I swear I looked and it said onion nigglets
>>7281246
I worked at Arby's when I was a teenager. This was pretty damn good. They always had an Italian sub that was on point too.
>>7280381
They just cut their portion sizes in half and the prices too. So, you can still order that amount of food if you want, you just have to order double everything and it's basically the same price.
>>7280465
>can't even link other boards properly
>telling others to leave
Is this what it's like being new?
>>7280136
>McSpaghetti
>not McGhetti
trashed
They had these in like 2003, 2 for $1, pretty good and cheaper than Taco Bell.
>>7281220
fuck that shit I worked at wendys when they were doing those shitty fries. Fuck you and your shit taste and for even wanting to perpetuate the sales of this dog shit.
>>7281231
everything is a meme silly
>>7280414
What was so special about it? As far as I can tell, it just had a round slice of bacon extra.
>>7281825
Jack in the box has had the forever dude
Whenever I see discontinued mexican fast food I get a vivid image of freezer burned food in my head. Anyone else know this feel?
>>7281933
>love it when a sauce just haaangs.
>>7281930
Burger kings just tasted Better for some reason I still get the jack ones and dip them in ranch
>>7280340
I remember reading a chapter in Fast Food Nation about these perfume/chemical manufacturers that help produce flavor concentrates to be added to different fast food items. It's the kind of stuff that makes ground beef, fries, etc. taste different at different restaraunts even if they use the same prep methods.
I had those sliders and I distinctly remember them tasting not like beef, but distinctly of that beef flavor concentrate.
>>7281502
Whoops. Ur right, it was the fish fillet.
>>7280395
I remember really liking these when I was a kid. I'll have to try them again if I ever make it back to Maine.
>>7280372
It came a decade too late. In the aspic striken hollandaise and banana hell that was the 1950's, I bet people would've loved it.

pretty cool stuff. I think it was in the same book, fast food nation, (maybe) about a chemical concoction that smelled exactly like a fresh cheeseburger. Food chemistry is pretty cool
>>7282069
>>Taste Description: green
You what?
>>7280340
there was a time in my life when i could go to burger king and get an order of these with a thing of chicken fries.

Nah senpai, when were these around? I'm from 89' and haven't seen those.
>>7282148
It's a chemist thing. From wikipedia
>Furan is a heterocyclic organic compound, consisting of a five-membered aromatic ring with four carbon atoms and one oxygen. The class of compounds containing such rings are also referred to as furans.
>>7282170
Ah cheers, i didnt do organic chemistry outside of highscool. I probs should learn the rest of it some time

>>7281224
In 2002 a famine in South Africa was a major international news story. Calling your shitty fast food after a nation where a famine is happening is basically too perfect to possibly defend on any moral level.
>>7280369
Do you know anything about Filipino food? Literally anything?
>>7280140
Ask for a bean burrito with extra chili and cheese it's the same thing
>>7282343
In 2015 french isis etc
Calling any food after france is blah blah etc. Its named after african cuisine. Not the whole country is shit honestly
Cheesy Potato burrito. Tacobell is such trash now. Yumm Yumm brands must be preparing for a takeover.

There was a Superbar around here for a while. Well into the 2000's.

Their cob salad with guac dressing is really really good.

Mr. Reddit, keep in mind you're posting on a site that once tried to name a new flavor of Mountain Dew "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong"
>>7282563
I wonder what kind of flavor that would be exactly? I'm guessing cherry but that's already code red. Maybe like strawberry lime.

I just bought one (vegetarian) for the cardinals game on Saturday. Shit is so dank good. I don't care what any Pizza Hut hater has to say.
>>7280367
oh god I want some of those
>>7280367
Dear god that looks amazing.
I've looked before and again today, and I can't find a pic of it.
There used to be a frozen burrito company that offered a "chili dog burrito". Maybe it was Tina's. Seems to be lost in an 80s food vortex.
I still make them on poor weeks. I'll micro a beef and bean or chili burrito, get a good quality hot dog. Make it have intercourse with the softened hot burrito.
Once the frank is balls deep in Mexican tortilla minge, I hear for another minute and enjoy. Shredded cheese is a decent add on but it's a meal fit for a diabetes king.
>>7281825
They still have these in Utah.
Same price and better than Jack in the Box value tacos
>>7282495
You can save a gif but it won't play back unless you send it to somebody via text or have a app to play it on. webms maybe, I don't know about network drives m8.
Why did they have to get rid of these?... They were so fucking good...
>>7282882
Weren't those just bacon cheese burgs with choice of how much meat you want? You'd think they'd keep that.
>>7282882
That pricing is dumb. You get 3x the bun and bacon if you just get 3 singles as opposed to one triple.
>>7281166
>>7280140
They still have both of these but they're terrible

This is still everywhere in the Philippines, as another anon said
It's sweet with slices of hotdogs, usually has some creamy cheese grated on top I believe. It's usually paired with a fried chicken leg
I had it a couple times while I was there over the summer
I actually love it, as shitty as it is
>>7281924
It had some sauce that they spent a shit ton of money developing when it reality it was basically mustard and mayo mixed. I liked the sandwich and would like for them to bring it back for a limited time just to see if it's as good as a I remember it being.

Bacon Tendercrisp Cheddar Ranch. There might have been others, but the commercial for that mother fucker will forever be stuck in my head.

also initially there was no single, instead there was a quad.

It's stuff like chicken breast and legs along with their sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, mac and cheese, baked beans, etc.
>>7280483
Checkers still has hotdogs and chili dogs, 2/$3 IIRC
>>7280140
They still exist at every taco bell.
Just ask for a chili cheese burrito.
It is a normal menu item
Wendy's pitas were sooo damn good. i remember getting them when i was like 10 or 11 and my family thought i was crazy for preferring them over burgers. RIP.
>>7284128
False.
>>7280442
These were well liked but dropped.
The entire days supply was preped durring the breakfast rush and sold through out the day.
So by the end of lunch theu were out of some. By early dinner out of all. And it took line workers off the breakfast line at rush.
In addition they were not as profitable as the other salads.
Does anyone remember when a mcd menu was easy to read? I went to one yester day for the first time in 10 years. And was so lost i just shoutted out "#2"
>>7280462
Good night sweet prince
When will the war on slaw end

They're more of a southern/midwest US franchise. I agree that their burritos are great. The hatch chile stuff wasn't too bad either, unfortunately they're only available seasonally.
>>7283492
not around here, every time I order it hoping they'll make it for me anyway they're like, lol wut? you want the woifejwefoijwefoijwefojiwef delux?

Almost any chicken item from Wendy's
Those homestyle chicken strips
Those boneless wings you could toss around in sauce
I worked there when these items were offered and I ate them nonstop. Never got to try the Frescata sandwiches tho. Seemed too healthy for me at the time.
>>7282258
I don't know if these were good because I was a kid and anything covered in cheese was good, or if they were actually good.

>>7281134

>>7280340
White castle and krystal actually make the effort to steam grill each burger and bun on a bed of chopped onions. The burger shots were a Frankenstein patty on a Frankenstein bun that both had to be broken away from each other to eat. There was no way to microwave these to compete with the slider restaurants. They also tasted like fake smoke and chemical flavorings. Gross.
