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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

[–] Fantabread@lemm.ee 3 points 5 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.

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

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.

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.
