Here, for a while at McDonald's there was a πŸ” 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.

Burger King Whoppers in the 90s.

They use to taste really, really good. But now 30 years later they’re made with dogshit tier beef and terrible buns and the whole thing just sucks.

Jack in the Box - Big Cheeseburger

Taco Bell - Volcano tacos

Gotta chime in with the bacon cheddar potato wedges and chili cheese curly fries at Jack in the Box. Jack in general has become shit tier now.

Also, McDonalds used to have a super excellent breakfast burrito with sausage, bacon, peppers, everything. Back when breakfast all day was a thing.

The Wendy's 4-Alarm Spicy Chicken Sandwich.

Burger King had actual Mac&Cheese burger patties for a very brief period and it was the best thing ever.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

SmashBurger did the same and also had a spicy version that was awesome; also gone πŸ˜”

Taco Bell mexi nuggets I think they called them, they were just tater tots with taco seasoning I think but they were the bomb.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

The fajitas at McDonald's. They were decent for the price.

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.

I can't find Starbucks ginger molasses cookies, although technically they're still sold? I could fly to Seattle I guess.

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.

Jalapeno rings at del taco.

Sliced jalapeno, breaded and fried. Served with a ranch-esqe sauce.

Simple and so fucking delicious.

I feel like I’m cursed or McD’s is taking a huge nose dive. I haven’t had a good, hot, not-soggy, salty McDonalds french fry in like 2-3 years. Every time I go, the fries are super gross. I’ve taken several road trips and the only consistency I’ve experienced is how terrible the fries have been.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Always ask for fresh fries if you're not in a hurry. If its a rush you don't need to worry about it, but that guarantees you'll get them crispy and as good as they'll ever be...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Good tip. You’d think that I would get lucky every once in a while.

80's-90's McDonald's apple danish

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

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.

"Roastburgers" from Arby's

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Arby's triple cheese and bacon was amazing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Idk if this counts but the people who make Nettle's sausage changed their recipe and now the sausage sucks
