The sourdough ranch bacon cheeseburger from Carl's Jr was my go to burger back in the early 2000s. They brought back another sourdough sandwich a few years ago and it was also good but unfortunately that's also discontinued.
The sourdough from Jack in the Box is close but with the lack of lettuce and onions feels a little dry.
Holy shit i remember that one!!! It was the last time I remember actually having a really good burger at a fast food place like McD. You from Germany? This mustve been more than 10 yrs ago right?
Nein. Italy.
but I've been in Munich drunk once. The girls are hot
The peppercorn ranch chicken strip sandwich from Whataburger!
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.
an π
Going crazy trying to think of what word you use for π that starts with a vowel.
Oh, and also I used to always get the Santa Fe chicken Gordita at Taco Bell until it went away.
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.
I can't find Starbucks ginger molasses cookies, although technically they're still sold? I could fly to Seattle I guess.
Arby's potato cakes
Polish dog at Einstein Bagels.
The premillennial shakes at McDonald's, before they made them thick.
The fajitas at McDonald's. They were decent for the price.
Idk if this counts but the people who make Nettle's sausage changed their recipe and now the sausage sucks
Not exactly fast food but kinda junk food, the sugar free lime Red Bull it was so good it was an after work treat I would get myself. Then it just slowly started disappearing from shelves and then they were gone, I would love it if they brought it back. As for fast food double decker tacos at Taco Bell, they had a good long run so I canβt be too disappointed, but miss just being able to go in and buy them when I want.
I loved that Red Bull! I would buy it as a treat after work and it was so refreshing. I don't know why they discontinued it!
The burger king (hungry jacks here) chicken burgers with the painted on grill lines.
Technically, you can still get it, but the 7 layer burrito was my go-to order when I was on the road and forced to have fast food. The Taco Bell in the next town over was right off the highway, so as I would be zipping between patients, it was usually the only realistic option other than a truck stop that had put people in the hospital three times. So, you know, l decided to live, mas or not lol.
There was a point in time where I ended up eating a lot of taco bell. Enough that I'd had everything on their menu at least once, up until 2005. After that, I haven't been able to work, so no zipping around three counties wiping butts, which means no need for fast food except as an occasional thing. So I've lost track of if they've had any temporary stuff or not.
But, yeah, the 7layer was bomb. Like I said, you can still get the same thing by messing around and adding things to other burritos, but that's a pain in the ass for drive through, if you feel me.
Mirroring Taco Bell here. Mine was the cheesey bean and rice burrito....they removed it and re released it, but it's not the same at all. No pico, almost no creamy jalapeno sauce and just a bunch of rice and beans now.
The original Enchirito. It was fairly large and had more sauce and cheese.
Also the Bell Burger.
Taco Bell mexi nuggets I think they called them, they were just tater tots with taco seasoning I think but they were the bomb.
Jack in the Box - Big Cheeseburger
Taco Bell - Volcano tacos
Burger King had actual Mac&Cheese burger patties for a very brief period and it was the best thing ever.
SmashBurger did the same and also had a spicy version that was awesome; also gone π
Not "fast food" but a junk food, cadburys used to do a chocolate sponge cake in a tin that was the best. Im not even a massive fan of chocolate but these things were great!
They still have those where I live I think. Chocolate shavings on top?
I miss Cadbury nuts about chocolate. It was a caramel with a while nut in the middle. A bit like the purple rose.
The Wendy's 4-Alarm Spicy Chicken Sandwich.
The Double Decker taco came back for like a month last year and I went to Taco Bell probably eight times once I realized it because itβs my favorite and Iβm super pissed that they wonβt just make one for me even though they have all of the ingredients, FFS.
Jack in the Box had the worldβs best cheese sticks. Iβll forever miss them.
Santa Fe items at Taco Bell. Also the Volcano Nachos.
Carl's Jr. recently discontinued their Beyond Famous Star, which I honestly think tasted better than a regular Famous Star.
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.
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.
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.
McDonald's Salad Shaker or the McDLT
McDs also had an excellent salad wrap for a couple of years.
McPizza
McRib
McRibs return when the price of pork is low.
Interesting, actually I basically never go to McDonalds, so I didn't realize it.
The Arby's Triple Cheese Melt. I think they stopped making it by the late 90s. Every once in a while it would show up again randomly and go away again a few weeks later but I don't think I've seen one since like 2005
