like a chicken sandwich please okay and you bake no no by now everyone has probably had the chance
to try a tasty chicken sandwich at one of their local fast food joints it's become such an icon
variations of it are available almost everywhere and it's all thanks to chick-fil-a the original
inventor of the chicken sandwich chick-fil-a started out as a tiny diner in an atlanta suburb
in the 1940s and was run by truett kathy however it wasn't until 1964 that the first chicken
sandwich hit the menu destined to become a fast food favorite oh yes it's my favorite fast food
what was the winning recipe a piece of boneless chicken breast hand breaded perfectly seasoned and
pressure cooked served on a buttered bun with two pickles this cooking method became the standard in
the chicken sandwich game with countless fast food restaurants trying to compete with chick-fil-a's
winning formula so if you were born in 1964 you are lucky enough to share your birthday year with
one of the most famous game-changing fast food items of all time i don't know how to put this but
i'm kind of a big deal big mac 1967 big mac's big mac but they call it love big mac staying in
the 1960s the big mac saw the light of day in 1967 and was created by franchise owner jim delegati in
pittsburgh pennsylvania the big mac was originally created to compete with the rising popularity of
burger king's whopper mcdonald's needed something just as big and just as tasty thus the big mac was
born delegati used ingredients that were already available in the kitchen to create his masterpiece
from the two all-beef patties lettuce cheese to the pickles and onions oh well except for the
sesame seed buns those he snuck in himself all he needed to do after that was come up with the
special sauce and the deal was done i'll have the big mac please great joy today the big mac
has become an integral part of mcdonald's menu and an estimated 900 million big macs are sold
every year around the globe which rounds up to about 2.4 million per day in 2018 there were even
mick coins given out to celebrate the burger's 50th anniversary at 14 000 participating locations
if that's not something to brag about then we wonder what is show-off arby's classic roast beef
1971. all right chris nothing's gotten that ring out yet that's why we brought you to this fast
food roast beef restaurant as we jump into another decade we're also jumping into another category of
fast food arby's ever since the first restaurant was opened in 1965 people have had the option to
stray from the regular burger and fries order and indulge in a delicious roast beef sandwich
it's with the same unique menu that arby's has been able to differentiate itself from the other
fast food restaurants over the years and while the original roast beef sandwich was an immense
success it wasn't until 1971 that a new recipe was introduced and the roast beef has been prepared
the same way ever since this is delicious the beef is marinated slow roasted and thinly sliced before
it's piled onto a toasted sesame seed bun along with arby's special sauce and their horsey sauce
from this one very simple formula dozens of variations have been invented with each
sandwich just as tasty as the last from the beef and cheddar a cheesier take on the classic roast
beef sandwich to the meat mountain a sandwich consisting of every single meat that rb sells
including the freshly sliced roast beef arby's is based on people's love for meat and shows and no
signs of slowing down anytime soon hi i'm eating roast beef it's delicious subway bmt
1975. exactly just like snowflakes or subway sandwich artists with so many meats bread and
topping combinations to choose from reportedly 37 million possible combinations how are you supposed
to declare only one ultimate winner the bmt however has a pretty notable reputation putting
it a little ahead in certain categories but first a little backstory as to how the bmt was born
subway started out in the mid-1960s in bridgeport connecticut expanded extremely
quickly and soon enough became the biggest fast food chain in the world in terms of locations
it wasn't until 1975 that the chain decided to introduce a new tasty meaty option the bmt
once voted the nation's favorite footlong the bmt is made with layers of genoa salami black forest
ham and spicy pepperoni along with any toppings and sauce your heart desires but its delicious
taste and notoriety aren't the only things that make this particular subway option so interesting
its name also holds a special meaning while today it stands for biggest meatiest tastiest
which is very appropriate it was originally named after an early component of the new york subway
system known as the bmt brooklyn manhattan transit system to go along with the chain's transportation
theme is this subway the transportation system or subway the sandwich shop the mcrib 1981 the macrib
is back you know you've done something right when the entire internet goes crazy when you announce
another limited time return of one of your menu items in mcdonald's case that item is the mcrib
yes the famous pork sandwich that's been on and off the menu for years the mcrib was originally
introduced to the menu in 1981 and surprisingly enough it wasn't much of a success at first
in fact it was considered a major flop for the chain since it had to compete with not
only the burgers but also the newly released chicken mcnuggets sales just didn't stack
up and the item didn't reach as many people as mcdonald's had hoped it's over mission failure
and in 1985 the golden arches finally pulled the plug on the sandwich as years passed some stores
here and there would sometimes have it on the menu and it eventually tried to make a comeback in 1991
but that was all in vain the craze had yet to be reached that is until the flintstones movie
came out in 1994 thanks to the movie tie-in the mcrib finally found its time to shine and has
now become an occasional guest star on the mcd's menu the mcrib is made with processed pork meat
covered in a tangy barbecue sauce with onions and pickles and still gets fans very excited every
time it returns oh my god okay it's happening everybody stay calm everyone blizzards 1985.
it's a hot summer day you're looking for a way to cool down and you've still got some room left
for something sweet after dinner so what's the best way to satisfy all three blizzard
that's right a little trip down to your local dairy queen to enjoy a nice blizzard the dq
blizzard has been a staple on the menu ever since it was invented by samuel temperado a franchise
owner in missouri in 1985. the genius idea for the blizzard came to him after he saw a competitor's
ice cream shop selling frozen custard from that moment on it was only a matter of time before it
became one of the most popular fast food desserts of all time the soft-serve ice cream blended with
delectable ingredients like cookie dough brownies and chocolate bits has seen a lot of different
flavors come and go as the years have passed but the one that has rained supreme since the
beginning is without a doubt the oreo blizzard in the united states at least it's the most
popular flavor much like mcdonald's oreo mcflurry ever since 2003 dairy queen has been offering a
blizzard of the month program with unique and seasonal flavors to always keep things fresh
of course you've probably noticed how the employees always turn your blizzard upside
down just before serving it to you giving you a mini heart attack every time right certain
locations if they skip this key step they owe you a free blizzard free food mcd's mighty wings 1990.
mcdonald's is getting serious with real chicken wings called mighty wings mcdonald's seems to
serve up every single thing the average american could ever crave while on a fast food run burgers
fries soda and chicken nuggets what more could you want well as it turns out there is one significant
gap mcdonald's has never been able to fill and not for lack of trying the craving for wings back in
1990 the chain tried to get into the chicken wings game by releasing their mighty wings crispy wings
in boxes of five or ten chicken wings have been a classic american food for ages so it makes sense
why mcdeez would want to offer its own version and while their heart was in it the results were less
than they had hoped for very disappointing some people complained that the wings were simply way
too expensive and pricier than the other items on the mcdonald's menu while this bump in the road
hurt the wings in the long run they still had a fairly successful run until 2003 when the chain
finally let the mighty wings fly away however they made a brief comeback in the u.s in 2013
with a new spicy breading but people still found a way to chase them away once again to this day the
mighty wings are still greatly missed by the true fans and represent a turning point for mcdonald's
hey they do chicken wings i love chicken wings breadsticks 1992. breadsticks me lucky breadsticks
me lucky we can all agree that a trip to domino's is never really complete without an order of
breadsticks to go with your pizza they just seem to get along so well however domino's wasn't the
first one to get the ball rolling pizza hut got things started and little caesars and papa john's
quickly followed until domino's finally stepped in and rolled out its first ever non-pizza item the
breadsticks obviously you can't get breadsticks without a nice side of dipping sauce which was
popularized first by little caesars when they introduced the option of adding crazy sauce from
that moment on marinara and breadsticks became this inseparable combo that helped boost sales in
every store maybe i can give you half a breadstick later as long as you don't mind a little marinara
dipping sauce dominoes might have been the last one to hop on the breadstick in marinara train but
that doesn't take away any of the deliciousness if anything it makes them even more special since
they're the last ones to hit the market but it's still really delicious it's still savory right
stuffed crust pizza 19.95 like porn and stuffed crust pizza my hello kitty blinky all rolled
into one here's another pizza related breakthrough from the 90s a decade truly made for pizza lovers
when you think about pizza hut multiple items surely come to mind right after all the chain
has come up with a lot of delicious things over the years so it might be hard to picture just one
however if there's one thing in particular we have to be grateful for it's the introduction
of the cheese stuffed crust pizza indeed pizza hut is the pioneer of this tasty 1995 invention
and it's all thanks to patty scheibmer a former food scientist for pizza hut apparently scheib
scheibmer's bosses thought she was crazy when she began talking about her plan to stuff cheese into
the crust are you crazy however once the pie was released after three years of planning the execs
were proven wrong the stuffed crust generated more than 300 million dollars in sales just in the
first year and became part of the chain's image of course pizza hut didn't just stop at stuffing
the crust with cheese they took the opportunity to experiment a little in 2015 a hot dog stuffed
crust pizza was born featuring 28 hot dog bites baked into the crust this was followed the year
after by a bacon stuffed crust but no matter what came after the cheese stuffed crust remains number
one you still are number one let's toast to that caramel frappuccino two thousands hit me with a
double venti organic chocolate brownie caramel frappuccino extra hot with one inch of foam and
finally kicking off the 2000s is starbucks beloved frappuccino even though the drink was originally
created back in 1995 it wasn't until the year 2000 that the drink really got its popularity
boost when the caramel frappuccino joined the menu the blended drink of milk coffee and ice
was invented in california by george howell a barista with a dream and a blender and it quickly
became one of the chain's most popular drinks the caramel frappuccino was the latest addition
and was able to immediately win people over with its whipped cream and caramel drizzle forget about
mcdonald's they put out an apb on my frappuccino it's in the bag while back then you still had
some flavor options it was nothing compared to what we have today there are now over 36
000 different combinations of frappuccino thanks to all the tweaks and customizations possible
starbucks had already significantly grown by the early 2000s but the arrival of the frappuccino
especially the caramel one truly helped the coffee house become the biggest coffee chain in the world
