17 Discontinued Fast Food Items We Desperately Want Back On The Menu
Recently, Reddit user u/JKP7X asked, "Which discontinued fast food item do you want to come back?" Here are some of the top-voted, nostagically YUMMY responses:
1."McDonald's old school apple pies. The ones that were molten hot lava and gave mouths third-degree burns. Totally worth it!"
"Yeah, those pies back when they deep-fried them were so much better!"
2."The Double Decker from Taco Bell."
"I used to work at Taco Bell. If someone asked me for an old, off-menu item that was mostly doable, I'd ring them up something similar and make it for them. Made a lot of enchurritos this way. Double Decker is 100% doable."
3."The buffet option at Pizza Hut."
"They are bringing the buffet back in certain markets in the US right now. Check to see if there is one near you!"
4."KFC's potato wedges. I like their french fries a lot, but damn those wedges were fire!"
"KFC's potato wedges were the perfect ratio of piping hot potato and crispy chicken batter. The batter kept the wedges nice and hot for way longer than fries, and the fried battered potato skin on the back was perfectly crispy."
5."Chicken Selects from McDonald's."*
*People in the UK are still enjoying the chicken selects!!
6."Does Arby’s 5 for $5 count? Cause those are the before times I want."
7."Taco Bell's Caramel Apple Empanadas."
8."The original Chicken Littles from KFC."
"Those were fire! My mom and I would get them in the early '90s. They had a very specific nostalgic flavor to them. I remember a few years back KFC 'brought them back,' and I tried one, and it was filled with disappointment."
9."Burger King's Cini-Minis. Breakfast was never the same after they left. Just tiny cinnamon rolls, Burger King — that’s all we want!"
10."The Quesarito from Taco Bell. I miss it dearly."
11."McDonald’s fries cooked in actual beef tallow."
"This generation will never know the deliciousness of those still wet and too hot to touch right out of the fryer covered in enough salt to cause an instant heart attack. Worth the scalded mouth every time."
12."Wendy’s Chicken Caesar Pita."
"My introduction to a lifelong love of Caesar salad. They were like a warm pillow of salty cheesy Caesar goodness. I miss these so much."
13."McSalad Shakers from McDonald's."
14."KFC's Twister."*
*They're still available in other countries outside the US!
15."Taco Bell’s Volcano menu. I would drink the Volcano sauce."
16."McPizza from McDonald's. Man, I miss McPizza. The fact that they only removed it because it took too long to cook means that it would work fine now, as everything takes a long time to cook at McDonald's."
17.And finally, "Actual dollar menus."
