Don't get me wrong, I'm all about these top 30's now, but I've been wondering if there's any particular reason why you started doing them all of a sudden? Is it like an anniversary or something, or did you just think it was time to start rollin' 'em out?
I'm from Brazil and was with my family on a trip to the USA in 2010, we tried it and my sister got pretty upset about us not having that one back home, then laughed about it when it got discontinued in a very "if we can't have it no one will" kind of way hahahahaha
The Arch Deluxe came out when I was in junior high school and I absolutely loved it! I would go as well as far to say that it might be my favorite fast food burger of all time.
The Angus burgers are a permanent item in Australia as well, which I have them here and there because yes, they are expensive. Still doesn't beat the McRib!
Years ago at a McDonald's i frequented and never did special orders. But one day, i asked them to make double quarter pounder made like a big mac. It honestly was one of the most satisfying meals I've ever had from the franchise. 😊
You basically made a Grand Big Mac. Sometime in the 2010s, that was an item, albeit a short-lived item. I really liked it and was disappointed that they took it off the menu.
The McDLT was great! One of my all-time favourite McD items. Flipping the burger side onto the lettuce side was NOT as hard or traumatic as some people think. The problem with the McDLT was that it used a LOT of Styrofoam at a time when environmental awareness was starting to reach mainstream society. I felt a little guilty eating them.
Yup. I get that people don't go to McDonald's for a salad, but having options for a family wanting to go together was great. I don't think they even do side salads anymore. I used to get a 6 piece chicken nuggets and a side salad and make my own chicken nugget salad. No more.
I actually really liked the fish mcbites when they came out. I feel like it was around Lent, because there were also shamrock shakes. Wings also weren't all that bad. I was just more disappointed when the fish mcbites were gone, though.
Honestly, this is the main reason fast food places try new seafood dishes. There are still places that only have fish sandwiches / fish & chips during Lent.
Every summer in my region of Ontario Canada, I look forward to lobster season out east bc of the McLobster returning. It's a wonderful sandwich with huge pieces of fresh lobster including whole claws and large tail pieces. :)
I live in one of the test markets for the Angus Burgers and they were _damn good burgers._ I liked the Deluxe and my dad especially loved the mushroom and swiss and was really bummed when they disappeared.
The Big'n'Tasty is still sold from time to time in the UK as the "Big Tasty". The main difference other than the size is the fact it uses emmental instead of cheddar.
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! I remember McDonald's pizzas and fajitas back in the 90s. They were great..!! Amazing food. McDonald's is one of the best fast food franchises in the entire world..!!
The pizza was GREAT! I didn’t get it often back in the 90’s cuz only a few served it, but everytime I got the opportunity I asked my mom to get me some…
Note something missing about the Angus. Current and commonly held belief for main reason the sandwich line failed. Many thought they were getting less meat for paying more; they believed 1/3 is less than 1/4.
Tell your mom she’s right. One of my college roommates worked at McDonald’s. He would bring home three or four of those pizzas a shift. They didn’t sell, manager gave them to the broke college students. And they were like barely-salted crackers with an unnecessarily-sweet tomato sauce and bland cheese. We tried to add spices or do something to make them better, but it just wasn’t going to happen. I got to the point where I groaned every time I saw another silly McPizza box with the Golden Arches M’s turned to look like the letter Z.
I loved the pepperoni McPizza! It was really good! The only drawback was the time it took to heat it up. Not so good if you have to get back to work or school! Also, there wasn't much difference between a McPizza and a frozen pizza that you could buy in stores. It was just pricier and a tad bigger.
The McSoups were really good lmao. They actually inspired me after they discontinued to always eat a bowl of soup with a Mcdonald's meal. To this day, i still eat a homemade Beef Barley soup alongside my burger and nuggets or fries. The reason soup combines well with mcdonalds, is that meals lack moisture, and soup replenishes that as you're eating.
Mcdonalds needs to do 3 things: 1. Lower their prices! 2. Bring back grilled chicken sandwiches. 3. Go back to their old style of pies from the 90s/00s.
It's so funny to think that a lot of these items were discontinued because of Them being too expensive yet nowadays everything's expensive as hell especially meals LOL
I remember the Spanish Omelet bagel and really liked it. I remember when they cancelled it then went to Colorado for work training and was happy to see it at a McD there :)
Fun fact: here in the Philippines, all fast food must have Filipino style spaghetti.. on the menu. Jollibee has it, so the others must follow.. and yeah we all aware that our spaghetti is sweet and it’s unpleasant to some people who is not a Filipino.. there’s a reason why we like our spaghetti. During world war 2, our tomato supply from America was cut and some other food products. We don’t have any ketchup and other tomato products, instead we used Banana as substitute and created Banana ketchup and Filipino used it in the spaghetti sauce, because we don’t have tomatoes.. that’s the birth of Sweet spaghetti Filipino style
When I was in Italy and Mexico. The McDonalds there doesnt sell spicy mcchicken. Italy sells a grilled chicken and Mexico had a buffalo and bbq burger. If anyone goes to Chicago we have the global McDonalds in Fulton Market in the west loop. Right now they have a teriyaki burger from Japan and a spicy ghost pepper sandwhich and garlic pepper waffle fries from i think Canada. The dessert are from Spain and France. The menu changes every quarter and occasionally they have breakfast items from other countries.
In Chile we have an alcoholic drink called "terremoto" (white wine, pomegranate syrup and ice cream) McDonald's decided to do a McFlurry inspired on it It was disgusting
I am from Bulgaria and we still have the Big N tasty except it just called the BIG TASTY. They never pulled it here. Honestly the best burger at McDonalds.
The Big N Tasty was so addicting. I recall my family and classmates couldn’t get enough of it. We were so sad when they discontinued it. Even the salads they had were so good, but the public complaint was how they were overpriced and “The Super Size Me” documentary exposed that they had more calories than a Big Mac. The Nuggets & fries that you had to shake with the season powder in 2013 was awful though.
I still missed the Angus Burgers. I had them when was 13 in 2010. The Chipotle BBQ Bacon one was my favorite. It’s a shame that they wouldn’t keep them on our US menu forever.
Missing the Big Xtra in Canada, I found it late and was devastated when it was discontinued. Still love me Whopper with cheese though, even if BK has gone down hill on how the patty looks
The arch delux, McDLT, and the big n tasty all looked to be the same sandwich. I remember the first two and they were delicious. They should bring them back. And my mom loved the fruit and walnut thing and the salad shakers. I wish McDonald’s still offered salads.
Stopped McDonald's when I was diagnosed with Crohn's in early 2000's. It makes me sick and the fries are the worst of the fast food places. Do remember the commercials for lots of their fails.
I clicked on this thinking there wasn't gonna be that many items. I was SO wrong but also I remembered most of these after seeing them 😅 I was a fan of the onion nuggets and spicy chicken, there was a time I was into the shaker salads too, I liked em I don't remember the pizza and spaghetti though
17:25 Because the spaghetti in the Philippines has distinct flavors that resonates to the Filipino style spaghetti. No question why its popular here, its not your typical bland fastfood spaghetti from other places.
The Angus burger was pretty decent, as long as it was hot. Unfortunately, because they cooked too many burgers and didn't sell that many, it quite often lost its heat within a minute or 2 and was cold.
I remember the McCrab. Not only did it taste bad (it was supposed to be made with Old Bay but everyone I talked to said that didn't taste like any Old Bay they ever had!!) but when word got out that the "Maryland" crab cake wasn't made with blue crab meat, people felt they were lied to. It disappeared from menus a week or two later. Edit: SALAD SHAKERS!!!! I actually loved those things!! They made me WANT to eat salad and I was crushed when they discontinued them. 😭
I like pineapple on pizza. I like the idea of the Hawaiian burger. In the Philippines, we have an Aloha burger, or a burger with a slice of pineapple on top, sold at local burger chain Jollibee
Ray Crock wasn't the founder of McDonalds. It was a pair of brothers with the last name McDonalds that started one restaurant after redoing their kitchen to be more fast-food friendly and sold tours of the kitchen and how they did their food to anyone who had a wopping $600 in their pockets. other fast-food places like Taco Bell and Burger King took tours and copied the layout of the kitchen, with their own food items. Ray Crock liked what he saw and wanted to franchise it, promising the brothers he would run every single location himself. eventually he wanted to buy the brothers out and they sold out to the tune of $2.7 million keeping their original location which sadly folded. it was the better McDonalds.

the chopped beefsteak sandwich and the hot and spicy mcchicken
Chopped beefsteak sandwich
Are you guys aware that the Hot N Spicy Mcchicken still exist?
That mushroom and Swiss angus was soooo fire
There was some kind of seasoning on it that made it really tasty. I've been trying to recreate it for years but it never seems quite right.
Bring it back!
Yes, it was phenomenal wish it would come back
I'm from Brazil and was with my family on a trip to the USA in 2010, we tried it and my sister got pretty upset about us not having that one back home, then laughed about it when it got discontinued in a very "if we can't have it no one will" kind of way hahahahaha
Yesssss
The mcsalad shaker is why I shake my salad to mix the dressing around to this day lol.
Me too!!! It's the only way. 🤣

I was also in junior high when the Arch Deluxe came out and I agree!

Am I the only one who think onion nuggets sound delicious? Plus no need to worry about the onion coming out of the fried ring
I'd like to try them at least once
I love 🧅
And the mighty wings
a diner near me serves them, they are absolutely delicious and they’re great with honey mustard
Long horn serves them they are delicious

Nine dollars actually does sound reasonable for a shellfish sandwich, but who would go to McDonald’s for something like that?
*_Exactly._*
I remember the Fish McBites commercials from 2013.
The McDLT was great! One of my all-time favourite McD items. Flipping the burger side onto the lettuce side was NOT as hard or traumatic as some people think. The problem with the McDLT was that it used a LOT of Styrofoam at a time when environmental awareness was starting to reach mainstream society. I felt a little guilty eating them.
*I'm surprised they never opted to use cardboard instead.*
@@winniebae4alwayyz963 IIRC it was right on the cusp of them switching from Styrofoam to cardboard.
The Salad Shakers were one of my FAVORITE menu items!! That chicken caesar one was a hit in my household
Yup. I get that people don't go to McDonald's for a salad, but having options for a family wanting to go together was great. I don't think they even do side salads anymore. I used to get a 6 piece chicken nuggets and a side salad and make my own chicken nugget salad. No more.
McDonald's STILL serve the Hot & Spicy McChicken sandwiches...it was never discontinued!!!
I know! And I like it too!
Yep Mostly in McDonalds in south louisiana Ive seen.
Texas too
I had 1 yesterday. Never order a plain mchicken. Didn't even know they existed
They do offer them in the uk rn

They've never had fish mcbites at the McDonald's restaurants in Oklahoma, but I wish I could try them

fish bites and tatar sauce sounds like a winnig combo to me
I miss the steak, egg, and cheese bagel every day 😩
They sell them in Chicago
Pennsylvania too
Me too😫🥯🥩🍳🧀 I wish they’d bring back a lot of them.
They sell them in Ohio, too.
Also sold in west virginia

@@Hinata0928you mean jolibee?
I live in one of the test markets for the Angus Burgers and they were _damn good burgers._ I liked the Deluxe and my dad especially loved the mushroom and swiss and was really bummed when they disappeared.
The mushroom & swiss Angus burger was freakin' awesome!

The Big and Tasty was my all time favorite!!!! I was so upset when it left

Current and commonly held belief for main reason the sandwich line failed. Many thought they were getting less meat for paying more; they believed 1/3 is less than 1/4.
I wonder if they wanted a 1/10th pound burger over a 1/3rd pound burger.
@@fromthehaven94 Isn't that the size of a Big Mac patty?
I actually loved the apple walnut salad! I was a regular on ordering that and the chicken wraps. Wish they still had them!
I showed an earlier "McDonald's Fails" video to my mom a few years ago, and she said the McPizza sounded gross.

I worked at a McDonald's in Los Angeles; since being my first job I was eager to learn. The job serves as a reminder of where I started.
i used to get those Mcsalad shakers . & if they bring it back they can take my money !
The McSoups were really good lmao. They actually inspired me after they discontinued to always eat a bowl of soup with a Mcdonald's meal.

I wish they'd bring back the southern chicken sandwich
The Angus Mushroom/Swiss burger, the Big n Tasty and the Arch Deluxe (yes, even that) were my favorites. I wish McDonald's brought them back.
$9 for snow crab? Count me in! Now days a Quarter pounder is $9.
the spicy mcchickens are back actually, i get them any time i go to mcdonalds
In Arizona (phx area at least) only has spicy version.
@@frostlion93 here in Vegas they still sell them. I grew up with the hot and spicy. The original mc chicken tastes horrible.
Texas has them. Never stopped selling them.
It's so funny to think that a lot of these items were discontinued because of Them being too expensive yet nowadays everything's expensive as hell especially meals LOL
I remember the Spanish Omelet bagel and really liked it. I remember when they cancelled it then went to Colorado for work training and was happy to see it at a McD there :)
I love the pizzas. Wish they bring them back. McDonald’s in Pomeroy Ohio was the last location to serve the pizzas till 2016 I believe.
The Big ‘n’ Tasty was one of my mom’s favorites and the Onion Nuggets actually sounded pretty good, wish I could have tried them.

In Chile we have an alcoholic drink called "terremoto" (white wine, pomegranate syrup and ice cream)
McDonald's decided to do a McFlurry inspired on it
It was disgusting
When they bring it back for limited times only, I always get the McRib.
I'm canadian and I haven't seen a McDonald's Angus in years sadly. The mushroom and swiss cheese one was sooo freaking good!
How did the McRib not make this list?! 😄
The Angus burgers haven't been on the Canadian menu in a long time. They continued for maybe a couple years after the US stopped serving them.
I really wish I was around for the McPizza days. I genuinely want to try one.
The Fish McBites were 10x better than that excuse for cafeteria food Fillet O Fish! They were actually seasoned and didn’t taste like breaded water…
16:47 no wayyyy, it was a hit in Indonesia around 2007-10s, hahaha. I personally LOVED it!! But they already stripped that from the menu today..
The only thing this video makes me nostalgic for is plastic straws.
The "Big N Tasty" is still sold in the UK, but, for some reason, without the N (it's just "Big Tasty" over here)
Various places in europe have it, but i can only remember france, spain and Portugal
can you do top 10 taco bell menu item fails?
I am from Bulgaria and we still have the Big N tasty except it just called the BIG TASTY. They never pulled it here. Honestly the best burger at McDonalds.
Same in Portugal.
Poland has a version of the Big N Tasty but they use a horseradish mayo. It was delicious!!!!
I miss the donut sticks. I think I became physically addicted to them. They were scrumptious!
We have those wings in the Philippines right now. They are just fried chicken. Underwhelming 😂
The Big N Tasty was so addicting. I recall my family and classmates couldn’t get enough of it. We were so sad when they discontinued it.

McSpaghetti are nice to partner with the fries as sauce. The spaghetti are also served as a platter for 4 in delivery apps today.
Damn now I want a 🍔 burger 🍔

Big and tasty, the hot and spicy chicken, McDLT, the arch deluxe? I loved all of these!!!
This is pretty much a compilation of various McDonald’s lists over the years, complete with Rebecca’s original voiceovers.
I don't remember having food shortages in 2002 in South Africa 🇿🇦
McRib is the worst, most disgusting offering ever. And they may still have it
I ate it when it came out but it was so horribly sweet. YUCK!!!!!
Oh I loved the McDonald's breakfast wraps, especially the steak and egg wrap.
This might sound crazy but the fish bites actually look good.
I’ve only ever had a hot n spicy. Never seen a mcchicken option at any McDonald’s in Nevada. It’s not on our menu. The hot n spicy never left here….
I read some reports that the chopped beefsteak sandwich was really an elongated hamburger rather than actual beefsteak.
that Hula Burger would be great to comeback as a vegan option
But still will be beat by the fish sandwich.
Hey, the gura-coro is popular in Japan. It returns every winter with a catchy commercial.
17:25 Because the spaghetti in the Philippines has distinct flavors that resonates to the Filipino style spaghetti. No question why its popular here, its not your typical bland fastfood spaghetti from other places.

McCrab" is really just someones way to justify saying "I got crabs at McDonald's in San Fran"
