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.

    Milk Shakes at just about any fast food restaurants. The machines always seem to be down! Pulled up to an Arby’s a few months back to order a Jamoca shake and they said their machine was down. I asked them if I had pulled into the McDonald’s drive through by mistake. We all had a big laugh… but that was months ago and they have now put a sticker on the menu that says their shakes are not currently available :(

    Went to a Baskin Robins to order a Chocolate Milk shake and they were out of Chocolate ice cream… on multiple occasions. At least they don’t have a machine to break down!

    Two things from Wendy’s:

    First bring back the old chicken nugget meat. The spicy nuggets taste like trash now.

    Second that Jalapeno Fresco Spicy Chicken Sandwich.

    There was a short lived candybar called PB Max that I’ve been craving for like the last 20 years. It actually tasted like peanut butter which, despite my love for peanut butter cups, just completely outdid them for peanutty goodness.

      Huh? I’ve never seen this. But I’ve had a severe McDonalds related Mandela effect recently, so I think I came from a different universe with a slightly different McDonalds

    I remember the time when Subway used to serve their sandwiches with the strip of bread on top. Those were the good old days.

    Burger King Whoppers in the 90s.

    They use to taste really, really good. But now 30 years later they’re made with dogshit tier beef and terrible buns and the whole thing just sucks.

    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.

    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.

    Mcdonald’s chicken selects! And by extension the snack wraps. Also their very limited basket of fries. I feel like I might be the only person who even remembers it.

    Gotta chime in with the bacon cheddar potato wedges and chili cheese curly fries at Jack in the Box. Jack in general has become shit tier now.

    Also, McDonalds used to have a super excellent breakfast burrito with sausage, bacon, peppers, everything. Back when breakfast all day was a thing.

    Taco Bell’s Volcano Taco. They brought it back for like a month and took it away again. Technically it’s still available in Kuwait but I can’t get anyone to mail me a bag of the sauce.
