- McDonalds McRib? Burger King mini-cheeseburgers? Wendy's Hot Dogs? Here is a collection of weird and wacky fast food items that are now off the menu... which did you enjoy/miss the most?
I don't ever remember Wendy's having hot dogs. I remember that salad bar and stuff when I was like five.
I believe they were exclusively in Canada
@@brandonhilton5773nope, we had them in the USA until 90-91 ish
I remember the hot dogs. Not sure I ever ordered one. I remember they didn’t last long. It was kind of weird if I remember right.
Fuck, we used a lot of styrofoam back then.
That McDonalds Cheddar Melt was BUSSIN back then omg
McDonald's also had those Olympic Twist Fries in 1992 for the Barcelona Games, and they were so yummy!
And I loved Frescatas, too!
**patiently waits for a Vienetta commercial**
I miss the curly fries craze.
Also burger buddies rocked
Idk why but the song for Wendy’s salads starting at 2:59 is hilarious to me, especially the bass slap at like 3:07. What do flutes and slap bass have to do with Wendy’s salad bar? Also the guitar shredding in the chicken tenders commercial is pretty great too
Ah, yes. The arch deluxe. One of the most expensive marketing flops in history.
Mc DLT too
As I know the Peterborough area in Ontario was a 'test' region for a multitude of mostly American fast-food products. Mickey D's pizza, curly fries, new hamburger recipes even McLobster for a short time in the 70s and early 80s. Strangely, it was all well-received yet none of it lasted. The trials were extended to Wendy's, Burger King and chain Fish and Chip franchise of the time. None of it remains.
I didn't know McD's previously released the cheesy melt. I thought when they had it a few years back it was new. They need to bring it back a third time! So good!
I remember Burger King tacos
Viola🤣🤣🤣 you mean voila
The Burger King Chicken Tenders is not longer in USA and Canada replaced by Chicken Nuggets. The Chicken Tenders is only available and exclusive for Puerto Rico and USVI. In Puerto Rico, the Chicken Tenders are very popular available on 6, 9 and 20 pieces, there are a 4 pieces variant on the King Menu.
Well I guess I'm going to Puerto Rico!
I just knew BK had chicken tenders before!
They looked really good too!
And fish tenders
They were my favourite as a kid.
the mc dlt was an interesting idea but such a fail.
It's a relic from the heat lamp era of fast food. Things tend to be a little more made to order nowadays, at least the burger assembly. They all like to say it's because they stopped using Styrofoam containers, but they could easily just have little paper boxes or packages of tomato and lettuce in the small fridge section with the kid's meal milks and the yogurt things I've never seen anyone eat in my lifetime. It's just more cost effective to eliminate the product all together. Like Michael Dorn said in Family Guy,"they have all the ingredients for a McDLT." So even then, it's not like a lost classic. I'd rather they sink their efforts into making that damn McRib a national product.
McDLT was a success, but the competitors bring more products with more ingredients than the traditional lettuce and tomato hamburger, in USA and Puerto Rico McDonald's makes this a big hit, but in 1997 the last McDLT left out in Puerto Rico. Now is called McNifica
That's right. It wasn't a failure at all. I've seen things come and go on every level of there for barely a season, like Hot Dogs and Chicken Wings, and various things that somehow are available in other countries. I mean, we had spicy McNuggets for barely a month. But the McDTL was around for some time until they went from heat lamps and Styrofoam to more fresh made burgers. Only place that still even has heat lamps is Burger King. There was something similar that was made in the more modern made to order era. Something called a "Daily Double" which is basically lettuce and tomato with mayo on a standard double cheeseburger. It was quietly discontinued, but if your lucky, they have them buried in the burger menu at the touch and go kiosk. Other than that, it's just cuz McD's is freaking cheap and slowly whittling down the menu so there's like 5 things in 2 variations.
worked at Mcdonalds when the MC DLT came out
It wasn't a fail at all.
The Big Bacon Classic was amazing
I'd just read in the news today that McRib was coming back! Funny how I stumble onto this fast-food video the same day I read that news.
I loved the McDonald’s McRib when it was out
Also hot take I prefer Wendy’s burgers over burger kings burgers
80's Vibe
Loved the Mc DLT just wish the cheese was on the burger. It was always cold.
Where’s the “BRING BACK THE ARCH DELUXE” petition?? And “oriental” sauces?? Chinese Embassy, line 1!!
The Wendy’s bacon and blue burger was the best.
started working at the Pickering Burger KIng when burger buddies came out
I miss the BK mini cheeseburgers.
I just remember the Wendy's frescatta sandwiches. But the rest I never saw any of those fast food items.
The Arch Deluxe was good...had like a peppered ranch sauce I can still taste.
Those two mini burgers from Burger King seemed like a rip off for $1.49, even for 2021. Bet it didn’t last long in the market.
Eh, I’d expect to pay that today. Maybe a bit of a rip off, but so is everything. It’s also from what, 30+ years ago, and the price is in Canadian dollars
Wendys hot dogs that’s cool
I still miss you McDonald's Pizza!!!
It's still available! Only 1 location left in the US
LOL All it took was some twisty fries for her to not fall anymore.
It's funny how 80's McDonald's employees would wear uniforms that make them look like criminals caught by keystone cops.
Mc Rib, a floppy sloppy rubber piece of blubber covered in ketchup flavored BBQ sauce....The Worst! Harvey's rocks and still has deep fried pickles!👍❤
I miss the Grimace plastic glove puppet toy..😥
Also Burger King Australia, also known as Hungry Jack's replaced the Chicken Tenders by the Chicken Nuggets, if you like the Chicken Tenders come to Puerto Rico, and enjoy it, but for a great taste take out a 20 piece up to 4 sauces, with big Pepsi and large fries...
Is the hot dog in a bun or a slice of bread?... they show it in both
RIP McDonalds' angus burger wraps. I will mourn the mushroom swiss one til I die.
In good ole Florida we have the biggest McDonald's and they still serve McSpaghetti.
Mc...fortune cookie?! Wow!
bacon cheddar curly fries
I would be so disappointed to walk into a McDonald's that wasn't participating in the McRib.
God, I remember all those fads.... i am so old.... I never understood the love for the McPizzas, one of my high school friend loved them.... they were horrible, in my opinion, so dry...
oh really ? they where micowave made althougth Mickeyd's claimed they were oven made in a commercial, from the 90's
@@senns2589 I worked at McD’s in the early 90’s, we sold the McPizza. It was made in an actual oven. There was a stack of super high temperature ovens in the back of the kitchen for them. The pizzas were a pain. When a customer ordered one, someone in the kitchen had to be pulled off burger dressing to make it. Because you had to get it in the oven as fast as possible, the pizza corner was always a mess of spilled toppings and the oily yellow garlic sauce they spread on the crust. You never ran through that area or you’d slip and fall.
No microwave for the pizza, but we did microwave all of the burgers/sandwiches before they were served. The burgers (meat) were cooked on the grill, and then kept in a holding cabinet. After the burgers were assembled, they had to be heated up in a microwave before serving. We called it “Q-ing”. I guess corporate didn’t want customers to overhear someone in the kitchen saying “nuke those Macs”. “Q those Macs” sounds much better.
I don’t think they do that anymore. I haven’t seen the big Q-ing ovens in their kitchens for a long time.
They really need to bring back the Arch Deluxe. ;)
and the McDLT
Well, I’m glad that they brought back the big classic which is now the big bacon classic. On the Wendy’s hotdog commercial though, dude did a rip off of James Brown. and, I wish McDonald’s brought back the arch deluxe. That was really good back in the day.
Oh my god, did they actually give out chopsticks with the chicken nuggets?
Curly fries, hands down.
I don't remember hotdogs at Wendy's or pizza at McDonalds
i remember in the late 80s or early 90s, mcdonald's went asian inspired, with chop sticks and a special asian inspired sauce
OMG the McRib, my buddies and i were pretty sure it should've been called the McRat 😀🤮💩🐭
Pizza at McDonald's won't be around in the future
I used to love the personal pizzas, and I remember ordering them still when my family moved to Windsor in 98. I remember them being really good and I used to really hate the wait, but now as an adult I think it was such a waste of money because I can make a frozen pizza at home. lol
Fuck the 2000s, I missed a lot in the 80s and 90s way better and cheaper
I loved the Big Classic.
I knew I remembered a Chinese themed chicken nugget commercial! lol
Is that last one Alexandra Wentworth? She ended up marrying George Stephanopolous, who is not very tall lol
Oriental sauces. A term not used anymore lol
Obvious reasons
The cheddar melt smelled like old socks..
Are those wendys hot dogs served on slice bread? It looks like it?
No, those are top loading hot dog buns. They are more popular than side loading buns in some areas.
@@hotel283 i never knew there was a difference. Maybe ive never seen a "top loading hot dog bun..."
They’re called “New England-style” buns.
I miss the BigXtra from McDonald’s.
2:02 The McDLT was the greatest burger McDonald's ever made
4:30 The Arch Deluxe, or as I like to call it, the Arch DeSchmucks. Don't get me wrong, it was okay, but not worth the price they charged. Another thing that ticked me off about it, too, was that the place it had on the menu, used to be occupied by the far superior McDLT. (When McDonald's dropped the McDLT, at the same time, it introduced the McLean Deluxe; a few years later, the Arch Deluxe replaced the McLean Deluxe.)
What about the homestyle
@@kristinlambert8811 Good question. I never heard of that one until you mentioned it, so I guess I missed it. I would have liked to have tried it.
I remember at the time when McDonald's had the big and tasty and Arch deluxe they had homestyle
😎👍
Wendy's Hot Dog...getting white guys to sing a James Brown tune. Item death right there...
I wonder why fast food restaurants in general never really have hot dogs?
I miss mcdonalds pizza.
It you are willing to travel you can still get it
I remember how much I really liked the Big Classic at Wendy’s back in the day.
On the other hand, both the McDLT and the Pizza at McDonald’s were OK. As for the Arch Deluxe, to me, it was nothing more than a fancied up version of a Quarter Pounder with Cheese (no wonder why it bombed).
On another note, I always got a kick out of that teenager (in the Burger King commercial) who mispronounced the French word “voila” as “viola”.
Lastly, the actress in the McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets Shanghai commercial (Corrine Behrer) also starred in that short-lived TV show (from 1989) “Free Spirit” (which also starred, coincidentally, a teenage Alyson Hannigan). On that show, she played a friendly witch who could cast spells on people.
Unholy to rip off James Brown for a lousy hot dog commercial
Alot of pretty girls back then!
Please come back bk with them sticks yall called chicken strips they was so good then you turned into crown shapes they was bomb. Do a comeback and I promise u will sell. Be a better day than chick fil a
@Burgerking

I'm sorry but chick fil a still has best nuggets.
Nothing from The Red Barn? 🤣
I don't like Wendy's at all!

and frosty and there are tasty burgers
@@senns2589 The burgers are ok, but, I love the frosty and the french fries instead! ;)
