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.
Taco Bell’s caramel apple empanada and the double decker.
Caramel apple empanadas were exactly what I was looking for in this comment section. Those were absolutely incredible.
The double decker is still around, they call it something else, but you can still order it.

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’.
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.
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!
Can’t even get a pizza-meatball-crab sub or an all syrup Dr. Pepper either.
I’m trying this.
Burger King chicken nuggets from the 90s, before the recipe changed to crap. If I had to pick a flavor that I associate with my childhood, this would be it.
The Angus Mushroom & Swiss burger from McDonald’s. The Angus was the closest thing they ever had to a real burger, but they were too expensive for most people and were eventually discontinued. Fun fact: wages have stagnated yet their basic burgers now cost more than the Angus did.
Omg the McDonald’s Angus burgers were FIRE. I ate wayyyy too many of the Bacon and Cheese ones and occasionally the Mushroom. I even loved they got put in their boxes with the paper burger holders LIKE EVERY BURGER FUCKING SHOULD.

Wendy’s ruined the bacon too. It’s the same garbage you’d get at Burger King, and it’s significantly smaller and tastes worse than the bacon they were using a year or so ago.
McDonald’s Salad Shaker or the McDLT
I loved the Arch Deluxe from McDonalds.
Yeah the Arch Deluxe was seriously amazing
The Double Decker taco came back for like a month last year and I went to Taco Bell probably eight times once I realized it because it’s my favorite and I’m super pissed that they won’t just make one for me even though they have all of the ingredients, FFS.
It’s not illegal to make one at home.
I’ve tried. The thing that’s hard to replicate is the beans, actually. Though I’ve mostly used canned refried beans; I’ve been meaning to get a can of whole pintos and mash them myself, and see if that helps.
You’ll probably want to start with dry beans. Canned ones are likely just going to be beans boiled in regular water. Meant to be an ingredient in something rather than the star. But if you make from scratch you can add in flavors: onion, garlic, etc.
Plenty of recipes online.
When making refried beans make sure to use pork fat of some kind. I use bacon fat.
Thanks!
Arby’s potato cakes
I liked the Arby’s pizza bites from 20 years ago as well.
They had turnovers that were good too
McRib
Milk Shakes at just about any fast food restaurants. The machines always seem to be down! Pulled up to an Arby’s a few months back to order a Jamoca shake and they said their machine was down. I asked them if I had pulled into the McDonald’s drive through by mistake. We all had a big laugh… but that was months ago and they have now put a sticker on the menu that says their shakes are not currently available :(
Went to a Baskin Robins to order a Chocolate Milk shake and they were out of Chocolate ice cream… on multiple occasions. At least they don’t have a machine to break down!
The only reason I went to McDonald’s before covid was because breakfast was available all day.
It was actually the steak bagel breakfast sandwich at McDonalds… until that garbage institution actually brought it back defector! It trned out to be a weaker approximatation with different/less seasoning on meat and different sauce, but close enough for nostalgia
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.
Yessss!! And when they had taquitos with the different dipping sauces!
The original Frito Burrito!
Ahh! Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to remember what the chalupa was called for months.
Glad I could help
an 🍔
Going crazy trying to think of what word you use for 🍔 that starts with a vowel.
Oh, and also I used to always get the Santa Fe chicken Gordita at Taco Bell until it went away.
An emoji burger
My theory had been ‘amburger in a cockney accent

Taco Bell quesoritos :(
Came here to say this.
Why did you remind me of our loss?
There was a short lived candybar called PB Max that I’ve been craving for like the last 20 years. It actually tasted like peanut butter which, despite my love for peanut butter cups, just completely outdid them for peanutty goodness.
Oh man, that just reminded me that PB Crisps existed. Fuckin loved those things.
See and if people love them, why didn’t they sell? I loved DnL but nobody really remembers it.
