Volcano burrito

>>15029330
I loved that they used freshly chopped jalapenos for that instead of gross pickled jalapenos

>>15029330
The Big Twin from Hardee's

>>15029330
Tough choice between that one and this.

Big and Tasty

>>15029330

I used to love these things when I lived in the States.

>>15029330
I agree 100%. The fresco chicken was by far the best fast food sandwich I have ever had. The fresco fries were fucking awesome too. Their new jalapeno shit is good too but nowhere near the spicy level of the fresco

>>15029334
Yes. And with Mexican rice, not that pussy-ass cantina shit.

I'm still mad. I'm still SO fucking mad.
They dangled the perfect fast food french fry in front of our faces, slathered it with delicious melty cheese and bacon bits, named their God-given Ambrosia the "fondue fry"...
...And took it right back, never to be seen again.
I lose sleep over this shit. I wake up in the middle of the night, sweating, grasping at my tray of fondue fries as it fades away, settling in the back of my unconscious, waiting for the next time my dreams can torture me. My mouth waters. I imagine myself licking all the delicious goopy fondue cheese out of the ridges of the black plastic tray before I move on to my next serving (because with fondue fries you ALWAYS order two, if not three trays full)
Anywhere else, any other fast food restaurant, I might let it slide. Not Wendy's. These motherfuckers have crafted the perfect french fry, and I remember fondue fries were built to capitalize on the "natural sea salt" thing that their fries had going for them at the time. Where did we go so fucking wrong? Why did God abandon us? Are Jesus, Wendy and Joseph laughing at us from Heaven, where they enjoy unlimited trays of fondue fries? Why must us mortals suffer so? Will I ever enjoy a peaceful nights sleep again or am I just waiting for the Wendy's cashier at the big pearly gates to take my order for fondue fries?

I just want some fucking fondue fries bros

>>15029821
Don't they still have those?

>>15030568
Don't they have beer cheese sauce right now? I mean, you can just order loaded fries. Their loaded baked potatoes are better anyway.

>>15030568
i'm sure this is a stale copypasta from the early 2000s whenever that shit was around but on the off chance this autistic rant is real they have baconator fries now and they're the same shit.

>>15030979
Maybe he's canadian? KFC has poutine up there, so it's a better trade off.

The Indiana Jones Burgerking burger hands down.

mcdonald's fries cooked in beef fat

yum

>>15029330
>>15029801
close but this was king

pretty much everything taco bell got rid of (except the potato stuff, never cared for that)

>>15029848
i loved those until i ordered 4 one time and vomited

>>15029330
The McDonald's Arch Deluxe and the Mac Snack wrap

>>15033161
God, it hurts so much. Just look at that beautiful menu. Look at the variety. So many options. The choices. The thought of knowing you will leave completely satisfied.

that carolina reaper burrito from taco bell

The buffalo chicken nacho fry burrito that Taco Bell had earlier this year. Best LTO in my opinion.

>>15032640
Those were so fucking good I completely forgot about them

>>15032640
Holy fuck I forgot about those. Those were amazing.

Orange Hi-C at McDonald's. And no, the kind you get in the Freestyle machines isn't the same.

>>15033806
it made the best spritzes, half-and-half with mcdonald's coke. if you got it in just the exact right ratio.... oof. memories.

>>15029838
this
quarter pounder deluxe can suck my balls

HiC at Mcdonalds. Tgat was the last place you could get it. I used to love that shit in big cans as a kid

not because they were good but because it's the only discontinued fast food item i know of. i remember liking them as a kid mostly because of the huge packaging.

Keeps the hot side hot and the cool side cool. Beginning of massive styrofoam backlash

>>15032640
this. the first thing from taco bell i liked, and a source of comfort during one of the most depressing times of my life.

Cap n crunch bites from taco bell loved those little bites of sweetness

The closest thing I had to picrel was a Hatch Chile burrito from McDonald's in New Mexico. I miss them so much, bros.

>>15029330

>>15033989
Their new burgers are super jewy its was $11 for a burger and $12 for a combo, fuck off nigga I can go to Jack in the Box for cheap

Taco Bell's spicy potato tacos, or, The Patacos™

>>15034001
And a complete failure since barely any McD's had the special food holding area they were supposed to go in so the cold side got hot as fuck anyway.
At least we have the McDLT ad with Jason Alexander to remember it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh1kmVwS4Hw

For some reason, I just really miss the Limeade Sparkler.

Weren't that hot, but damn were they good. Some of the places would throw jalapenos on there too.

>>15034074
I was born in 78 and still cant believe how weird the 80s were. Thanks for the flashback amigo

On the subject of McD's how about the Arch Deluxe? I really liked this thing but the advertising around it being "for parents" was pretty bad. "It is estimated that McDonald's spent over $300 million on the research, production, and marketing for the Arch Deluxe." and it was an utter flop, jesus

The Big'N'Tasty
The carmel apple empanada
The double down
The choco-taco (at tbell)
Normal-thickness shakes (fuck triple thick)

I miss the old mcdonalds chef salads, the ones right before the.shaler salads. Also cream cheese danishes.

>>15029330
do you guys remember the salad bar at wendy's? I thought that was bomb

Anybody have McDs pizza? I was in Canada as a kid in the late 80s early 90s and loved it

Give me the Quesalupa or give me death.

>>15034128
Fuck yeah. They did a taco salad with chips and they would turn you lose on the salad bbar and give you a bowl of chilli

>>15034133
Yeah I remember those. There were still two locations in the US that had it up until 2017 when head corporate made them stop. Probably violating franchise agreements to bring in outside vendor stuff to make the things. Too bad.

Continuing with McDonalds oddities of the 90s, how about a McLobster? I guess these things still show up from time to time in New England states, and I'm sure I've seen them show up here in Canada a few times since the originals over the many years. I greatly dislike lobster myself but when they were available I was informed they were actually not that bad.

>>15030979
>>15030995
They got removed for shitty "secret recipe" fries
This is US

>>15033161
Old taco bell is what made me fat. I would get drunk and order shit like the smothered burrito or the xxxl burrito. Always with a chicken quesadilla on the side.

>>15034080
I miss these so much I've tried making them at home with Sierra mist and that canned frozen limeade :(

i miss the angry whopper

>>15029330
am I the only one who is disgusted by fake cheese/nacho cheese on burgers. it gives me headaches. just like the beef and cheddars from arbys. Id prefer if they would use a slice of cheese.

>>15032949
is introducing and cancelling chicken sandwiches part of the systemic racism?

>>15034097
I miss that peppered bacon like you wouldn't believe

Chili cheese burrito from taco bell. Even when it was still floating around it was kinda subpar quality since they'd never advertise them and so the chili would just sit for hours.

WILD WILD WEST BURGER

>>15029330

>>15030568
Lame
>he never experienced the open Wendy’s potato bar with 99¢ potatos
Thanks again minorities

It still pisses me off they canned it.

for me it's Macca's Filet-o-fish Deluxe
I don't remember it tasting any more mature than the regular fish burger, but I have a lot of fond memories of going to McDonald's with my family and getting this one burger

>>15034097
Unironically looks tasty.

cheesy rollups from taco bell

>>15029330
It was delicious
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHA4wkN-VVQ

I miss it so much bros

>>15034097
The Arch Deluxe was one of the best burgers McDonald’s ever had

Anyone remember the doublicious from KFC? it was marketed heavily in an episode of community, and God damn did it work on me. So yummy on that sweet Hawaiian bread.

>>15029848
Beefy crunch burritos were the bomb. Fuck TB for getting rid of them.

>>15034046
BASED DIABLO POSTER
Only true connoisseurs understand that this being discontinued marked the decline in variety.

>>15035647
for me it's this
never found a better ice cream

>>15034097
Jessica Biel liked the Arch Deluxe, so I do too

Really missed the Buffalo chicken snack wrap at mcdicks

And how about the Philly cheese steak from mcdicks. I'm a leaf so Philly cheese steaks aren't common where I live but these were awesome.

>>15029330
shrek twinkies

>>15034184
never known anybody who got one but Ive seen it on the menu in massachusetts

>>15035280
Looks bigger than their Ultimate Bacon Burger

>>15036335
Must have been a pain in the ass to make and it hogged the deep fryer

>>15030568
literally any place that sells baked potatoes ought to be able to make this for you

>>15033203
all those optiions and no GSB

>>15034074
I wonder how many hours they had to dance just to record this short commercial

Snack wraps were so good

>>15035283
This.

>>15029330
>>15032949

Both of those were bomb. I literally ate those every night of work when they were around.

In the UK, Burger King's Mushroom Double Swiss.

jalapeno McDouble or Buffalo McChicken

>>15037410
Jalapeno McDouble was amazing

>>15036918
15 an hour still not enough?

>>15036912
I'm pretty sure they're the same I just miss the name. Also I was like 13 and could eat them without worry for my health.

>>15037802
Also here's the commercial from my youth:
https://youtu.be/ACgJOWDmw3w

For me? It's the Big n' Tasty

No you faggot, this was the besr chicken sandwich in fast food history.

Mcdicks doesnt even do specials here anymore, no more buffalo chicken poutine. Fuck em

>>15029330
I see a lot of mcdonalds posts here but not one mention of the GOAT

>>15033161
>meal deals
oh god it hurts. those were the days I used to eat taco bell almost on a daily basis. so many 5 layer burritos were eaten. I haven't had one in years since they stopped doing those.

>>15037410
God this was so good. Was a buck fiddy as well that filled that gap when they switched away from double cheeseburgers to mcdoubles.

>>15037950
It was okay but not as good as the Arch Deluxe. And the 1/3 pounder is an especially embarrassing flop because it was canceled due to Americans not buying it because they thought 1/3 was less than 1/4 pound.

>>15037977
No, that was A&W's third-pounder and the real reason was because they were crap at marketing.
McDonald's Angus Third-Pounder was a financial success because they marketed it as a premium burger complete with artisan toppings, but it was cut when they were consolidating their menu to remove ingredients which were only used by one menu item.

>>15037813
>>15037802
Based, some diner near me has a based collasal burger, it is a fine name
>>15037971
I live in a cheap city so we had $2.50 meal deals pretty often.

>>15034506
Based, have you tried a Jack in the Box munchee meal yet?

They removed the Meximelt from the menus of most locations a while back, but you could still make one by modifying a beefy mini quesadilla (or a fresco-style soft taco, but that's more expensive).

Now that they've discontinued the pico de gallo entirely, you can't even hack together a Meximelt. :(

>>15037977

would get those all the time

>>15037019
I miss them bros
I go to restaurant depot and buy chicken tenders and recreate these at home but as always their cheese is elusive

>>15034097
it was ahead of its time

>>15030568
How fucking old is this wtf

>>15037410
the buffalo ranch mcchicken was the best thing on the dollar menu at the time

mcdouble when it was on the dollar menu

>>15036080
what did the secret sauce taste like bros?

>>15037971
>5 layer burritos
Damn I miss those. Why they gotta hurt us so much?

>>15037971
>$2 Meal Deals
>2010-2013
Time flies.

>>15042959
this
can't believe it's up to over $2 here now
fucking mcfaggots

>>15043881
It was a mayonnaise with mustard sauce. It was tasty
>>15034097
>>15036080
At 1:53 this guy does a real hatchet job on the arch deluxe. Really pisses me off because it was the best burger but the guy is probably dead now so I’m not going to sit around and stew about how much this guy pisses me off but he really is an ass

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eUC10oQKbsk

>>15032640
Man I fucking miss these

>>15029330
BK stackers

>>15044366
what the fuck did I just watch

>>15029330
This thread, yet again. Piss off you marketing scum, nobody cares about your shitty rat fast food! Get over yourself you low level managarette with the ipad.

>>15034074

lol Jesus Christ it’s hard to imagine a period in time where this was a marketable ad. Also there’s black and brown people there but they’re presevted in a completely inoffensive unobnoxious way. Wish we could go back.

>>15044480
before youtube people made the same kind of vids that are on youtube now and put them on public access tv

>>15044576
based dedication

I know this shit was basically just a long nugget and not really a chicken tender but goddamn do I get nostalgic for these, especially the tender sandwich I used to get all the time as a kid.

>Arch Deluxe
>Big N Tasty
>McDLT

For me, it's the Big Xtra! The best of McDonald's discontinued premium burgers.

The loaded steakhouse burger from burger king with the mashed potatoes and onion strings couldn't be matched. I miss it every day.

>>15034046
Came here to post this. Bring back El Diablo

This shit. Best Subway sandwich, hands down.

>>15046799
These were peak bk.

>>15029330
Is anyone old enough to know what the rectangular shaped burger was at McDs. It was a LTO in the early 80s

>>15044568
Diversity was actually attempted for reasons other than profit back then.

For me, it's the "Mc Baguette" (I shit you not!)
It was almost fresh baguette bread, with good local beef, decent gruyère cheese, and a nice light mustard sauce.
God it was good.

The "Fromages AOP" where indroduces a bit latter and didn't last long, but oh boy was it good too!
Some real fucking cheese with realy good locla beef.

>>15035666
Hey Satan, it really looks like the "Filet'O fish" from Mc D here, in France. Maybe it's the same?

>>15037901
Oh, we have the "Big Tasty" in France too from time to time. Maybe it's the same sandwich too?

Also, McD did a deep fried shrimp wrap one summer, it was awesome!

>>15029330
Naked Chicken Chalupa from Taco Bell.

>>15045136
This made your shit blood red

>>15037901
isn't that just the Quarter Pounder Deluxe now?

>>15048302
>This made your shit blood red
Actually, it did not.

PLEASE COME BACK

The cowards at KFC couldn't handle the fact that these would usurp the pathetic bucket

>>15046799
I regret not getting a chance to order one of those... its the first thing from BK I think I've ever wanted.

this, if there ever was one, was the best fast food burger
i still remember the fat dribbling down my face

>>15049624
Never had a better sandwich for 99 cents. The buffalo was actually spicy and the honey bbq had lots of meat in it. I'd get those and a mac and cheese before my night shift and be all set.
I miss it. I don't have a KFC anywhere close to my house now. Sons of whores.

>>15036537
>>15035647
Am I one of the few people who dislike Ben & Jerry's ice cream? This isn't about their political stance but due to the abundance of chunks of ingredients that are present?

I'll never understand why they keep taking it away from us.

>>15049687
I miss it soo much

>>15029330

Big Bacon Classic

>>15036680
The Spicy BBQ Snack Wraps were a staple of my high school and college years. Absolutely don't understand why they got rid of it.

>>15049431
can't you just order two bunless filets and slap some cheese and bacon between them?

I don't want to bring back any particular item, but I do want to bring back polystyrene packaging and plastic straws. Just doesn't feel right without them.

>>15034184
Weird thing is that we got those out here in Hawaii for like a month a few years ago. We have a lot of unique stuff out here (Saimin, Spam, egg and rice breakfast, McTeri, and more pie flavors) but lobster was a complete curve ball. I never got it, because it was like 9 bucks. I wish we could get the Shrimp filet sandwiches that Japan gets.
