which might change your recipe that is 200 years old if it ain't broke don't fix it words to live
by but it seems some restaurant chains didn't get the memo here are 10 fast food recipe changes
that never should have happened this is a terrible terrible mistake McDonald's Big Mac Big Mac's Big
Mac but they call it love Big Mac iconic classic and undeniable hit these are likely words that
come to mind when thinking about the world's most famous burger the Big Mac has become much more
than McDonald's signature Burger reaching pop culture status almost immediately after making
its debut so when McDonald's decided to tweak the famous burger fans all over the world gave
a collective before promptly shaking their heads for whatever reason McDonald's decided
to say to heck with the old cooking methods you know the methods that made the burger a
hit and change them along with changing the cheese for the Big Mac I want this cheese
the burger Twigs first hit McDonald's locations in Australia Belgium and Canada back in 2019 then
the inevitable announcement regarding the tweaked Burgers heading to the U.S came in
April 2019 and would be implemented by 2024. this of course caused a massive fan backlash
with many stating that they were not interested in tweaks to their beloved Burger unfortunately
McDonald's didn't stop there as they saw fit to make the same changes to the classic cheeseburger
because why ruin one iconic menu item when you can ruin two Burger King's new Whopper trying
to prevent Mr Andrew from unleashing the Whopper with cheese arguably the second most iconic Burger
of all time the Whopper is not only the oldest signature Burger of the two Mega franchises it
also has a huge number of devoted fans who have loved the burger for years so when some big wig
up at BK headquarters thought it was a good idea to change the iconic Whopper just about
every everybody gasped this was the scenario that played out in late 2021 when the burger
giant announced that it would be tweaking things to improve the classic Whopper recipe by removing
preservatives and artificial ingredients yeah it's just a smaller version however the real
problem came with BK's questionable marketing for the new and preservative free Whopper the new
Whoppers commercial featured a 34-day time-lapse of a preservative free Whopper decomposing and
accumulating mold mmm sounds yummy right while we all get what they were going for with the
ad it simply didn't work and likely turned many fans away from the Whopper and toward the nearest
toilet Subway sandwich bread who were you Subway before you were Subway while Subway may not be
the first fast food restaurant you think of when looking for a quick bite the sandwich chain is
nevertheless a fast food Powerhouse marketed as a healthier alternative to the fried chicken burgers
and fries of rival franchises Subway sandwiches offer customers a wide variety of Subs sandwich
goodness one of Subway's biggest selling points is its freshly baked bread and while there's nothing
quite like that soft and delicious Subway bread somebody must have figured it was time to resolve
a problem that didn't exist translation Subway decided to go ahead and change their popular
bread by adding something less than traditional to the recipe this is a rebellion Subway experienced
major backlash after changing their famous bread in 2014. this change in bread was brought to
public attention by a food blogger who made it known that the sandwich chain was using
an ingredient called azodicalide in their bread for those that aren't familiar with the chemical
azodicarbitamide is used in the production of yoga mats among other things Yes you heard that right
Subway did address the controversy and agreed to remove the chemical from its bread so the next
time you picture that footlong as you stretch ever so slightly to achieve downward dog you'll
know why new to babletop then how about hitting that subscribe button it's easier than a trip to
the drive-through and cheaper too thanks you're welcome McDonald's apple pie apple pie and ice
cream perfect McDonald's apple pies cover almost all the bases when it comes to a great fast food
dessert or rather they used to the perfectly crispy pies jam-packed with apple cinnamon
goodness were so irresistible it would take everything in your power not to buy as many as
you could hold in both hands but as stated earlier that was before McDonald's decided to change
their famous pies in 1992 McDonald's stopped deep frying its classic apple pies and instead decided
to bake them they bacon now for it the change did not go down well with fans as the original
recipe was beloved if you can believe this the change briefly gave rise to a McDonald's apple
pie Black Market not a joke to make matters worse McDonald's changed the apple pie recipe again in
2018 offering a healthier version of the already frowned upon pie McDonald's has made changes or
tweaks to some of its classic items such as the Egg McMuffin and vastly improve the product but
in this case the burger chain really dropped the ball your pie my warm apple pie Taco Bell cheese
hey this isn't Taco Bell there's more to life than Burgers and Fries over the years many franchises
have become well aware of this which has caused fast food restaurants to well like Taco Bell says
think outside the bun with that not so subtle hint out of the way Taco Bell has been sinking outside
the box long before their famous ad campaign with Mexican food being as delicious as it is
it was pretty much a no-brainer to mass produce the food from South of the Border and bring it to
Hungry patrons Nationwide while the Mexican food chain has been serving up Surefire hits for years
there are a few items that are a bit questionable such as their nacho cheese I have a question for
you now to be fair most fast food or convenience store nacho cheese isn't going going to win any
awards so saying that Taco Bell cheese barely resembles cheese isn't exactly breaking news
with that said the neon yellow cheese has always been tasty however in 2017 the chain decided to
remove an ingredient called yellow dye number six from the nacho cheese recipe replacing it
with a natural alternative this change seemed to go unnoticed however the chain decided to do away
with nacho cheese altogether in 2022. this move to simplify the menu resulted in unhappy fans and
lonely naked nachos hopefully the Mexican food chain will reconsider their unpopular decision
McDonald's fries french fries were sold at McDonald's whose founder is Ronald McDonald
Ronald what is it about those golden crispy little sticks of fried potato goodness that
makes them so irresistible this question has already been answered be flavoring yeah
s McDonald's secret ingredient for making the world's tastiest french fries has been
cooking them in a vegetable oil and beef Tallow blend unfortunately for the Mega Burger chain a
Nebraska millionaire named Phil sokoloff suffered a cardiac arrest and pointed the
finger directly at McDonald's fries as the prime suspect for the heart attack sokolov launched a
multi-million dollar campaign over the span of two decades to urge fast food eaters to choose
a healthier lifestyle we're eating healthy this campaign forced the burger chain to
change their fry cooking method from the Tallow mix to Pure vegetable oil problem solved well
no as this caused not only McDonald's stock to fall but the 100 percent vegetable oil increase
the trans fat content ironically making the new fries less healthy most customers who
continue to eat at McDonald's claim that the current fries were way better back in the day
you know this is an open line right so younger Mickey D's fans from all over the world missed
out on the original tasty fries but with nothing to compare it to today's version
of McD's fries are still the franchise's top selling item Wendy's chicken chicken recipes
gonna be honest left to her Wendy's has become one of the most beloved franchises on the planet
for one reason delicious food from Burgers to fries to the iconic Frosty and of course
chicken sandwiches the Wendy's chicken sandwich has always been a tasty favorite but it's the
healthier grilled option of their chicken sandwich that gives the franchise an extra
added secret weapon of sorts the grilled chicken sandwich has been sitting beside its fried cousin
since 1990. this is the entire 1990s yes and both healthier fast food eaters and customers looking
for something different have been smiling ever since unfortunately for lovers of the grilled
version the old-fashioned Burger chain pulled the grilled chicken sandwich from their menu back in
March this of course didn't sit well with fans who were not happy with the sandwich
being discontinued however to fill the void Wendy's decided to replace the Beloved sandwich
with the grilled chicken wrap suffice it to say while a wrap is nice a wrap is not a sandwich
Domino's Pizza the old Domino's pizza crust teaching the new Domino's pizza crust how
to be crusty at one time the ruler of the pizza franchise world was Pizza Hut however mountains
have been climbed and nowadays the one true ruler of the pizza franchises is Domino's yes the
popular pizza chain has been a consistent number one for years outselling both former Kingpin Pizza
Hut and Little Caesars consistently of course that's today but before 2009 Pizza Lovers weren't
exactly racing to the chain I'm not going okay I'm not going in 2009 Domino's decided to give their
Pizza a complete overhaul how by ditching the poor quality ingredients used in the past and changing
their recipe to include real mozzarella and new sweeter tomato sauce with herbs and red pepper and
a brand new garlic dusted crust this new Domino's Pizza recipe catapulted the franchise to new
heights placing them firmly into the pizza chain Stratosphere this is a case where the old formula
was broken and doing a little tweaking actually saved a struggling franchise Burger King fries
quench with french fries as mentioned previously let's make it known that the Undisputed king of
fries is McDonald's sorry BK however that doesn't mean that Burger King fries or anything other than
delicious in fact there are many fast food aficionados out there that think BK fries
are superior due to their crispiness and overall stiffness however in 2011 VK decided to make their
fries a bit thicker for some reason how thick could you get to make matters worse the burger
chain also decided to reduce the sodium content by 20 making for a sicker less tasty french fry
so what happened next well to no one's surprise fans of the original BK french fries were not
happy with the new and improved product whether the BK higher ups and the McDonald's corporate
execs for that matter have a newfound hatred for the French fry or simply felt like they had too
many loyal customers is anyone's guess why change a good thing why why Donald's spray send this
Sprite what is it about those McDonald's Fountain drinks why do they seem to taste just a tad better
at McDonald's than anywhere else who knows does it really matter this is particularly true when
it comes to McDonald's Sprite most McDonald's fans would agree that the Sprite served up within the
golden arches is tasty but you know what they say about a product that sells well tastes great and
is an overall crowd pleaser let's forget all that and change the recipe what's that you never heard
anyone say that before I couldn't imagine no well McDonald's Australia seemed to think this was a
good idea McDonald's franchises down under felt it a good idea to swap out regular Sprite for
Sprite Zero sugar this of course was not a crowd pleaser especially since the burger chain didn't
announce the change to customers it's one thing to Institute change but letting your loyal clientele
take a sip of their beloved Sprite only to get a mouthful of Sprite Zero is well an unpleasant
surprise to say the least I am offended go ahead and watch another great video just tap or click
