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.
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.
And they’re obnoxiously expensive for what you get. You could get far better food for the prices Taco Bell demands nowadays.
When they where 99c they were great, but now they’re like $1.89 or something and missing basically everything that made them great.
Over where I am it’s closer to 3 dollars for the cheapest burritoes. Stuff like the 5-layer and grilled cheese burrito are 7 bucks!
Holy shit, that’s like a sit down Mexican restaurant for most of the USA. ($7 for a burrito)
The only reason I went to McDonald’s before covid was because breakfast was available all day.
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
“hi. I’d like one quarter-pounder (aka royale) with no cheese, but with Mac sauce on the heel. Thanks.”
That’s kinda it.
A&W has really good seasonal burgers that they retire every season.
$1.50 JBCs. Not worth the 3.50 they cost now. Used to be bigger and cheaper.
Also, the Arch Deluxe and personal pizzas from McDonald’s.
How can no one else miss Taco Bell’s naked chicken chalupa? I loved that thing.
And the McRib is missed every time it leaves.
The original Frito Burrito!
Yessss!! And when they had taquitos with the different dipping sauces!
Glad I could help
The Mac Jr (1 patty, no middle bun). I used to order it with a small fry. I’m small, so it was the perfect size for me so I could finish everything and not be stuffed.
I remember the time when Subway used to serve their sandwiches with the strip of bread on top. Those were the good old days.
You can still get it that way!
Just ask for it ‘cut old style’.
I’m trying this.
unfortunately most people working at subway now are young, and have no idea what you’re talking about.
you can’t even order a subway melt anymore without explaining what it is.
Can’t even get a pizza-meatball-crab sub or an all syrup Dr. Pepper either.
The true failure of the education system that noone talks about…
No one is two words, Mike. It’s an indefinite pronoun that means nobody.
Whoa, you’re so smart.
What a neat fact that I absolutely don’t care about!
Alright take it easy Mike
Rally-Q
For a VERY brief time in 2010, Burger King sold bone-in short ribs.
Guys, those were literally the best fucking short ribs I have had in my life. High end BBQ places couldn’t even come close. Every Burger King would sell out like instantly whenever they got a shipment in. And then after 2 months… Gone. Forever.
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.
Jalapeno rings at del taco.
Sliced jalapeno, breaded and fried. Served with a ranch-esqe sauce.
Simple and so fucking delicious.
Common in Texas, or sometimes sliced longways and called Texas toothpicks.
“Roastburgers” from Arby’s
McDonald’s Grilled Chicken Flatbread. I sometimes feel like I’m the only one that remembers them, but they were so delicious around 2003 or 2004, can’t really remember anymore.
Don’t know whether pizza from a place you can sit down in and eat counts, but there used to be a place called Rocky Rococo’s. Best pizza in the whole city, until they disappeared off the map. Now I’d have to go to the other side of the country just for their pizza. For a place I wouldn’t consider a restaurant, they had some of the absolute best pizza I’ve ever had.
