The Bigfoot pizza is what fed a family of 5 with a single mother trying to support her children....memories of the Bigfoot pizza still flood my memory to this day..It was missed indeed and not hated at all for those who ate it as children... it was a genuine treat indeed
Woah that Bigfoot pizza brings back memories. My parents didn't have a lot of money but twice a month we'd buy pizza and that was the pizza we bought. My brother and I loved it.
You can still get them at some Sonics in the South. I live in the South and several of the restaurants (including a couple of Sonic style drive-ins) and bars here sell fried pickles and iirc the couple of local Sonics do as well.
I had it once ... we were a family of 5, eating at the restaurant in Canada ... everyone left the restaurant starving and parent haves spend 50$ for a huge pizza made by extend a medium one and a soda pichet at 10$ ...
LOL Spaghetti with fried chicken is definitely not weird to me. When I was raising my boys, I cooked it once a week, with cornbread. Spaghetti with chunky meat sauce, fried chicken wings, green beans, and cornbread.
The problem with fried pickles is that people underestimate them, you gotta make them just right with a proper batter ratio. We love em mixed with fried jalapenos in the south but so many places make them straight trash.
I worked at a Pizza Hut for a few months in 1993, and the Big Foot Pizza was extremely popular. I'm sure there were profit margin concerns with it or something. Special pans were needed, and the damn things took up space in the rolling oven where you could fit 3 to 4 regular pizzas (so it slowed the line down considerably). But they definitely weren't discontinued for lack of people buying them.
Yep, I remember the Big foot been REALLY popular and I do believe it wasn't sale or it's popularity that killed it but as you mention it was the prep work and it slowing down production all around.
I used to eat an entire Bigfoot by myself when I was 18yr old and this was when I was bulking up for the gains. I wish pizza hut would bring back the bigfoot, because their Detroit style is more sauce than anything.
Odd that Arby's has made their brand of fast food popular by basically serving deli-style sliced meat at fast food tempo, and Wendy's couldn't figure out how to do it with their Frescatta sandwiches.
Some Arby’s are great and some just plain suck!!! The one near where I live is a waste of time - the lobby hasn’t been open since before Covid (can’t seem to get people to work I’m guessing) and I had doing the drive-thru as the people either talk so loud you can’t understand them or talk so soft you can’t understand them and just hope you get the food you ordered. We were in Aurora, CO for Christmas and the Arby’s there was fantastic. I had their 4-piece chicken tenders several times and they were great. Come to find out that our local store doesn’t have these - just the same crappy 9-piece. I’ve been a customer just about from the very beginning more years than I can count - I think it’s the franchisee and people they try to hire that either make or break the place.
The Wendy's near me had the taco bar in it and they were really some of the best tacos ever. I was only like 8 years old but I'd eat all the tacos I could get. I don't remember there being a pasta station though.

Theres one thing you forgot to mention with the seafood salad. The main reason they pulled it off the menu was cause of the numerous food poisoning cases.
True that. Additionally, a legitimate irony (at least as of 2022) is that fish tacos are a thing. Taco Bell just never considered that concept, and even shrimp tacos (or burritos) are as equally legit nowadays. Some places I can think of offering those delicacies are Del Taco and Moe’s SW Grill. What a shame Taco Bell never pioneered those concepts at all, though.
This was legit the only thing at the clown shack, I would willingly eat!!! I haven't been there since they discontinued it!!! And, yes, they need to bring it back!!
@@pooky-bellegaming4089 Yo, the post you replied to basically highlights exactly why they would not make a killing. They would be the ones getting killed. Start a restaurant based entirely around their money-losing item? Let's gooooo!
I remember being at my home town Burger King when I was in high school - when the dinner basket thing was happening. My friends and I actually didn't mind that it took longer as we were there just to hang out anyway. What struck us as weird though, was the fact that there was a magician there - one who didn't seem too thrilled to be there, though, probably because there were no little around there the night we were there.
Fact: mc spaghetti here in philippines is popular because of their one and only rival here the jollibee.. jolli spaghetti is so popular here mcdonalds is really having a bad time competing on it
When I was 16-18 in the early 2000's we would go to pizza hut and get a salad to go and pile that thing 2 miles high for $2. Best thing for teenage stoners 🤣.
Wendy's should've increased the price for their All You Can Eat food Bar it was literally too good to last for starters it was too cheap & super demanding for the Restaurant staff
Then it looks like they learned their lesson from the Seafood Salad. They overlooked the main reason it was discontinued and that was cause of the many food poisoning cases.
Yes they did back when they first came out I remember when I worked there. Now it's cheap crap and if you don't eat it while it's hot it tastes like cardboard.
@@Blackjacksnapper I disagree. I think it depends on who's behind the counter. Alotta these youngsters are just novices. Than again a good trainee can bring back that ceasars delight any night. Well I have to agree with you it was surprisingly deliciy in the early 90s🤤
No they didn't, our taste was just less sophisticated back then, but everyone always insists that X chain was better "back in the day" when the truth is most successful chains have been only improving their quality standards in order to remain competitive with fast casual and other modern trends.
We always went to Pizza Hut for birthdays and while they had it, always got the Bigfoot pizza. It was great to us and fed everyone. It was always a great time for our birthdays.
@@Chesseroni oh yea they get special artists to dress up the display food to look alot better then it is the irony is they spend more time doing this then making an actual Burger if they only put more time into making a Burger Holy shit they would have something nice
That's because they don't use real food in the commercials, they use model food which is actually very expensive, because it looks better on camera than real food does
I was working at Burger King when they introduced that enormous omelette sandwich. That thing was extremely popular for about six weeks, then you'd make maybe one a day after that.
I remember when that came out. I tried it once and went back to my regular size breakfast. I felt very badly about one of my co-workers at the time. She was beyond morbidly obese, to the point of going bald. She'd eat one of those massive Berger King breakfasts every day when it came out and then had a massive lunch. It was really sad. She would make a point at saying how her large soda was "diet" and she's "exercising" after work.
I wish Burger King would bring back the Breakfast Burrito that they had in the mid 1990's. The Burger King's here in Tyler Texas don't have the Breakfast Burritos anymore.
I feel like it must have taken 6 weeks for everyone to try one, then wake up with the crampy squits and swear never again. After that, there was nobody left to fool.

If Wendy's brought back those sandwiches I'd be happy to wait for them. Their regular food takes a few minutes and it's always hot as opposed to McDonald's that you get in 20 seconds and it's ice cold.
Um...Spaghetti and fried chicken IS a staple on the tables of very many soul food dinners... my mom and many of my relatives served spaghetti and fried chicken... I find it STRANGE a restaurant like Popeyes have not adopted spaghetti as a side dish...I grew up in north Saint Louis Missouri and soul food is very common there, just saying.
@@noobslayer6915 not always...soul food has more flavor than various other traditional American cuisines do... people who like Chick-fil-A have not had good soul food before.

Uh, no it absolutely is not. I've lived in various states across the south for 36 years and I've literally NEVER seen spaghetti served with catfish. That's ridiculous. Catfish is served with fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw typically. Spaghetti in the south is typically made with a meat sauce using ground beef. Not chicken, and certainly not catfish.
Amanda is very loud and wrong because I live in Chicago and half of the fish restaurants serve spaghetti and fish,so I'm wondering where do these people come from
I miss Pizza Hut's Bigfoot pizzas,the crust was just right,and had a great variety of dipping sauces,and the price was an excellent value,I say bring it back.
my first job was at pizza hut back in the 90's.... you are absolutely clueless how popular the bigfoot pizza was.... it was a huge rectangular pizza for $10.... your video fails horribly on this bit of info alone
I worked at one in 1993, and I agree that the Bigfoot was super popular. My assumption is that the profit margins from it were terrible... those long-ass pans slowed down cooking times for everything else. Pop Quiz, fellow Hut-sufferer... do you still remember how many pepperoni were on a medium pepperoni pizza? Nearly 30 years later, and it's still emblazoned in my memory.
Pretty sure lots of these items get discontinued because they overprice them. Bought because of hype but never bought again because of the prices compared to other menu items.
Snappy Tomato pizza is a chain around where I live and they have a version of the “Bigfoot pizza” called “the beast” it’s like their most popular menu item, they’re great for parties and such
Ocala FL has one, but I haven't had their pizza in over 20 years. The place I worked at sometimes ordered from there for large meetings. I really don't remember how it tastes.
The Bigfoot Pizza was slightly altered and rebranded as the Big Dinner Box, you can get three medium rectangular pizzas in the big dinner box, basically the same thing but easier for crew to deal with.
Taco Bell served shrimp tacos a couple years back. I know because I worked there. So Taco Bell did dabble in seafood after the failure of the seafood salad.
I loved the Wendy’s superbar. I also love the enormous omelette breakfast sandwich at BK. The Wendy’s frescatta Sammie’s we’re very tasty but EXPENSIVE. You could get a $5 foot long at subway or the frescatta which was about a third the size for $5. No brained on that one.
Mc Salads in a cup were a thig for several years until they got stopped due to some bad Salad, the other salads in the container are still there for good.
In my neighborhood the Pizza Hut had a contest for schools the prize was to have Bigfoot monster truck show up at your school full of Bigfoot Pizza. We won it was so cool seeing Bigfoot. The driver did donuts in the field. There was so much pizza people were taking Pizza home by the bag full. Lol good times 😀
Ah yes, the Bigfoot Pizza where the National Marketing director at the time was Reggie Fils-Amié yeah that Reggie that in just over 10 years would become the Head of Nintendo of America
Well no shit it's a joke to make a pizza bigger then a foot wth you need a bigger pizza for you do realise the bigger pizza the better chance the stuff doesn't cook evenly and you get luke warm toppings and sauce in placed
@@kurtpunchesthings2411 Actually, the cooking aspect they had down to a science. Don't remember ever having one returned for cooking issues. The ovens we used were rolling ovens, and with the pan being 12" wide, it actually got cooked fine every time (because along the length, every part got equal cooking time)
I did, too. I forgot what a pain in the ass topping those things was. My guess is that they were discontinued due to profit margins, because they were popular as hell. But they would slow the line down to a crawl because if you had one or two of those in the oven, it couldn't be used for anything else. Never mind how much time it took for us peons to make them. Pop quiz for you... do you remember how many pepperonis were on a medium pizza? I will remember that for the rest of my life.
@@jimbobjones9330 i mean yea you can adjust the Math to try and properly cook the stuff but i think we can agree the bigger the Pizza the bigger the chance something gets fucked up
@@kurtpunchesthings2411 Of course, but not in this case. If it were a stationary oven, I'd agree. But these were a large version of those "toasters" you see in hotels (with the rolling conveyer belt), so the pizzas were cooked well each time.
Weird that you omitted the McPizza from the mid 90's off this video! It took forever to get your order and would crash the kitchen if they had multiple orders
I hate how this video assumes that all of these items were failures. The Big foot pizza was a huge success for Pizza Hut, it was discontinued when selling a 2 foot pizza for $10.99 was no longer logical. Also, just because a popular item is discontinued after interest shrinks does not make it an unsuccessful marketing tool for the resturant.
To be fair, spaghetti in the Phillipines is its entirely own thing anyway, it's not really surprising that their market would jam on McSpaghetti. Also, I remember it being called the "meatnormous", and not the enormous omelet, but that breakfast sandwich was phenomenal.
@@Utubesanarc when I was younger and had an appetite thay went beyond unhealthy, that sandwich was breakfast with a side of hashbrowns. One of ths only fast food chains breakfast sandwiches I'd only have to eat one of.
@@Amanda-hn1im would you prefer "non-traditional"? Filipino spaghetti is a very sweetened take on the dish. It's also quite popular with hotdogs which you'll never see in any self respecting Italian dish. As I said, "it's own thing". Actually used to have pretty funny conversations with some former coworkers about the right and wrong way to make lasagna and spaghetti, we'd always tease each other about how the other was doing it wrong lol.

Spaghetti in the southern states of America is typically served with fried catfish or chicken
Uh, no it absolutely is not. I've lived in various states across the south for 36 years and I've literally NEVER seen spaghetti served with catfish. That's ridiculous. Catfish is served with fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw typically. Spaghetti in the south is typically made with a meat sauce using ground beef. Not chicken, and certainly not catfish.
@@ranaevalentine9876 you loud and wrong
Amanda is very loud and wrong because
I live in Chicago and half of the fish restaurants serve spaghetti and fish,so I'm wondering where do these people come from
I miss Pizza Hut's Bigfoot pizzas,the crust was just right,and had a great variety of dipping sauces,and the price was an excellent value,I say bring it back.
Pickleohs? Gone before i was old enough to try one. Glad I never got to try it.
I was born between "Big Foot Pizza" and "Superbar". Not sure what kind of fails there were in '97.
The Bigfoot Pizza, The Rounded Subway Deli-Style Sandwiches, and Wendy's Super Bar all need comebacks.
I'm sad i never got to try that pita bread with salad and burger- seriously it sounds super tasty.
my first job was at pizza hut back in the 90's.... you are absolutely clueless how popular the bigfoot pizza was.... it was a huge rectangular pizza for $10.... your video fails horribly on this bit of info alone
I remember our school teachers ordering those big @ss pizzas lol
I worked at one in 1993, and I agree that the Bigfoot was super popular. My assumption is that the profit margins from it were terrible... those long-ass pans slowed down cooking times for everything else.
Pop Quiz, fellow Hut-sufferer... do you still remember how many pepperoni were on a medium pepperoni pizza? Nearly 30 years later, and it's still emblazoned in my memory.
@@jimbobjones9330 16?
@@izrealquintana1903 40. Exactly 40. I will never forget that number. Ugh.
Pretty sure lots of these items get discontinued because they overprice them. Bought because of hype but never bought again because of the prices compared to other menu items.
Bigfoot pizza was bomb..10.99 for a big pizza when i was only 15 yrs old..
Probably ordered bout 10 of them before discontinued...
Big Foot Pizza would have a sleepover poppin tho lol
Man I would like to try some of those foods
Spaghetti with fried chicken is awesome. My dad got me hooked.
That enormous omelette thing sounds delicious I want it
Fun fact: here in Orlando we have the world's largest McDonald's and they serve pastas, pizzas, cheesecakes, quesadillas, everything!
I remember "The Big Foot" pizza. We used to get it all the time. Not a failure.
What were said; was much Needed... Thank goodness only for Sharing📌
Spaghetti and fried chicken is a regular combo ma’am!🙄 they been doing that since the 70’s smh
Thank you
The Frescata sandwiches were really good. They are the reason I started loving pesto. It's a shame they didn't figure out how to make them faster
I remember the Wendy's taco salad and pasta bar. I used to love it. A l;ot of people did. It was popular. Than they did away with it.
When I was a kid I loved Wendy's Super Bar but don't remember breadsticks. It was garlic bread made using the top part of hamburger buns.
Snappy Tomato pizza is a chain around where I live and they have a version of the “Bigfoot pizza” called “the beast” it’s like their most popular menu item, they’re great for parties and such
Ocala FL has one, but I haven't had their pizza in over 20 years. The place I worked at sometimes ordered from there for large meetings. I really don't remember how it tastes.
"Can be topped with whatever you like"
Billboard literally said UP TO three toppings LOL!
Honestly I would have ate some of these foods tbh .
The Bigfoot Pizza was slightly altered and rebranded as the Big Dinner Box, you can get three medium rectangular pizzas in the big dinner box, basically the same thing but easier for crew to deal with.
Taco Bell served shrimp tacos a couple years back. I know because I worked there. So Taco Bell did dabble in seafood after the failure of the seafood salad.
I loved the Wendy’s superbar. I also love the enormous omelette breakfast sandwich at BK. The Wendy’s frescatta Sammie’s we’re very tasty but EXPENSIVE. You could get a $5 foot long at subway or the frescatta which was about a third the size for $5. No brained on that one.
@Robert Neblett maybe it would be better if they lower the price a little😎
Going to a fast food joint to get something"healthy" is and always will be mind boggling
Mc Salads in a cup were a thig for several years until they got stopped due to some bad Salad, the other salads in the container are still there for good.
Mama's on a diet, but the kids want fast food.
I remember that BK Omelet Sandwich. LOL. I can feel my arteries slamming shut. 😑
In my neighborhood the Pizza Hut had a contest for schools the prize was to have Bigfoot monster truck show up at your school full of Bigfoot Pizza. We won it was so cool seeing Bigfoot. The driver did donuts in the field. There was so much pizza people were taking Pizza home by the bag full. Lol good times 😀
Stopping the video at 2:51 got me asking the editors, "Are you okay sis? Who hurt you?"
Ah yes, the Bigfoot Pizza where the National Marketing director at the time was Reggie Fils-Amié yeah that Reggie that in just over 10 years would become the Head of Nintendo of America
I really enjoyed the Wendy's super bar, back in the day. I was sad when it was discontinued.
I totally do understand,😊some of my friends love it too.😋🥰@Susan Elizabeth
This narrative sounds like a combination of the watch mojo lady and the “burger king foot lettuce” guy.
I remember "MCDONALD'S Pizza" in Connecticut in the last 70's early 80's. It was a different time!🇲🇽🌵Greetings & Salutations from Flagstaff AZ 🌵🇺🇲
I worked at Pizza Hut during the big foots time they sold like crazy and we hated making them monsters!
Well no shit it's a joke to make a pizza bigger then a foot wth you need a bigger pizza for you do realise the bigger pizza the better chance the stuff doesn't cook evenly and you get luke warm toppings and sauce in placed
@@kurtpunchesthings2411 Actually, the cooking aspect they had down to a science. Don't remember ever having one returned for cooking issues. The ovens we used were rolling ovens, and with the pan being 12" wide, it actually got cooked fine every time (because along the length, every part got equal cooking time)
I did, too. I forgot what a pain in the ass topping those things was.
My guess is that they were discontinued due to profit margins, because they were popular as hell. But they would slow the line down to a crawl because if you had one or two of those in the oven, it couldn't be used for anything else. Never mind how much time it took for us peons to make them.
Pop quiz for you... do you remember how many pepperonis were on a medium pizza? I will remember that for the rest of my life.
@@jimbobjones9330 i mean yea you can adjust the Math to try and properly cook the stuff but i think we can agree the bigger the Pizza the bigger the chance something gets fucked up
@@kurtpunchesthings2411 Of course, but not in this case.
If it were a stationary oven, I'd agree.
But these were a large version of those "toasters" you see in hotels (with the rolling conveyer belt), so the pizzas were cooked well each time.
That enormous omelette sandwich was so good. I miss that thing.
Weird that you omitted the McPizza from the mid 90's off this video! It took forever to get your order and would crash the kitchen if they had multiple orders
When I was a kid, my family went to Reno, NV and ate the McPizza at the Circus Circus there. And then never heard of it again. Thanks for the memories
The big foot pizza, blockbuster movies and or TGIF with root beer floats made the best Fridays growing up. Best memory growing up #86 baby
I hate how this video assumes that all of these items were failures. The Big foot pizza was a huge success for Pizza Hut, it was discontinued when selling a 2 foot pizza for $10.99 was no longer logical. Also, just because a popular item is discontinued after interest shrinks does not make it an unsuccessful marketing tool for the resturant.
The "Enormous Omelet" was awesome!!!
To be fair, spaghetti in the Phillipines is its entirely own thing anyway, it's not really surprising that their market would jam on McSpaghetti.
Also, I remember it being called the "meatnormous", and not the enormous omelet, but that breakfast sandwich was phenomenal.
I'd eat that sandwich, cut it in half, and share it withabuddy. Looked striking.
@@Utubesanarc when I was younger and had an appetite thay went beyond unhealthy, that sandwich was breakfast with a side of hashbrowns. One of ths only fast food chains breakfast sandwiches I'd only have to eat one of.
What do you mean by spaghetti in the Phillipines is its entirely own thing
@@Amanda-hn1im would you prefer "non-traditional"? Filipino spaghetti is a very sweetened take on the dish. It's also quite popular with hotdogs which you'll never see in any self respecting Italian dish.
As I said, "it's own thing". Actually used to have pretty funny conversations with some former coworkers about the right and wrong way to make lasagna and spaghetti, we'd always tease each other about how the other was doing it wrong lol.
@@kevinclapson I was just curious. The way you worded it didn't bother me.
The Enormous Omelet Sandwich was awesome the chest pain was well worth it.
But in America we love food that takes a few years off your life
