When it comes to fast-food restaurants, innovation and progress are two essential components
for continued success. But, as you all know, the road to success is, more often than not,
under construction. So here are more of the Top 10 Most OUTRAGEOUS Fast Food Items Of
All Time (Part 3).
Cap’n Crunch Delights - Taco Bell
The Cap'n Crunch Delights literally sound like a dream come true: a little fried ball
of dough coated in crushed up fruity Crunch Berries cereal and filled with a creamy, sweet
milk icing. What's not to love, right? Available in packs of 2, 4, and even 12 - a dozen for
breakfast, really? - The Cap'n Crunch Delights showed a lot of promise as they represented
almost everyone's dream breakfast: cereal on-the-go. Well, as heavenly as it sounds,
a lot of people had mixed feelings when it first hit Taco Bell's breakfast menu in 2015.
Some claim it was the best thing Taco Bell could've come up with and that nothing since
these little Delights has come close to matching the delight and comfort they provide. While
on the other side of the coin, it's not so warm and fuzzy. Oversugared, too oily, and
overall just a big, giant mess to eat were the most frequent critiques about these nightmares
masquerading as daydreams. The moral of the story: eat your cereal the old-fashioned way,
in a bowl with a spoon!
Bacon Sundae - Burger King
Burger King introduced their brand new Bacon Sundae in the summer of 2012. At first, it
didn't sound so bad - depending on your stance on bacon - a vanilla soft serve ice cream
with chocolate and caramel syrup, then topped with little pieces of bacon. These bits were
not the part people really had trouble with. It was the gigantic, half strip of thick-cut
bacon placed on the side as a meaty garnish that left people perplexed. A cold, stiff,
and dry piece of bacon at that. Lovely. But the horror didn't stop there. The first bite
seemed okay-tasting enough. But then comes the bacon. The salty, dry, and chewy texture
sneaked up on you and left you with a bitter aftertaste, one that should not be there while
enjoying an ice cream sundae. After a lot of curious tasting and a lot of disappointment,
it was eventually pulled off the menu.
McSpaghetti - McDonald’s
In the late 1980s, McDonald's tried to get into the Italian food business in America
with items like spaghetti and pizza, but they all flopped horribly. It simply didn't harmonize
well with the chain and people complained that the pizza took way too long to prepare
- rendering the fast in fast-food irrelevant. Plus, the container the pasta came in was
just overall impractical; no one went to Mickey D's expecting to eat something with a fork.
It was with the hands or no dice. The flop had little to do with the taste really, people
just didn't bother to order it, because let's face it, McSpaghetti sounds McCrazy. But,
in the Philippines, you might just be able to satisfy that spaghetti craving by stopping
by the local McDonald's. The McSpaghetti is truly an enjoyed and beloved item over there.
Doritos Pizza - Pizza Hut
If you're one of those people who enjoy putting chips on everything, like on your sandwich
or on - heaven forbid - your pizza, then this item was literally made for you. But sadly,
unless you're in Australia, you're going to have to stick with your plain, regular old
boring pizza. The Doritos Pizza released by Pizza Hut in 2014 might be one of the best
and yet, weirdest food creations ever. I mean, Doritos on a pizza crust sounds a little
nutty when you think about it. But even nuttier than that is the mozzarella cheese stuffed
in the crust as well. Making this kind of like a 2-in-1 meal: a pizza and a nachos dish.
Now, it's not all rainbows and butterflies. Some critics said that you can't actually
taste the Doritos because, well, the bits of chips are burnt. Scratch that. They're
scorched, making the whole idea of a Doritos crust kind of irrelevant if you can't even
taste them. Basically, this was an ingenious idea that was poorly executed for the most
part. You might be better off ordering a regular pizza, a bag of Doritos, and just sprinkling
the chips on yourself. No burnt chips, no problem.
Belgian Waffle Breakfast Sandwich - Dunkin'
For when you're running late during your busy mornings, the Belgian Waffle Breakfast Sandwich
is the perfect quick and easy solution. On National Waffle Day in 2016, Dunkin' Donuts
announced the return of the reinvented breakfast sandwich that won over so many people's taste
buds in the past. With maple sugar bacon, American cheese, and an egg sandwiched between
two thick, glorious waffles, it's easy to see why. As it combined two beloved breakfast
items, the waffle, and the egg sandwich. With the rising popularity of waffles being used
in fast-food offerings, it was only right for Dunkin' to give it a shot also. Some people
said that the taste of the waffles could sometimes overpower the rest of the sandwich, but that's
no biggie, considering the waffles themselves were delicious. There's also some speculation
online that say that the Belgian Waffle Breakfast Sandwich might even be better than the famous
McGriddles. But you didn't hear this from us. If you enjoy Dunkin's regular breakfast
sandwich and enjoy waffles, there is absolutely no reason why you wouldn't have liked this
masterpiece of a sandwich.
Doughnut Sandwich - KFC
KFC comes out with a new sandwich that may or may not make sense. It's basically what
the name says: a piece of fried chicken sandwiched in between two glazed doughnuts. And, in terms
of taste, it's basically all in the name too. You get what you bargained for - the taste
of the Colonel's 11 herbs and spices and doughnuts. Nothing more, and nothing less... well maybe
a little less. This sandwich turned out to be an underwhelming surprise to the avid KFC
fans. There was no real correlation between the two flavors, and while the two items are
exquisite when they're apart, there was nothing much going on when you put them together.
But, that didn't make it bad, necessarily - just perhaps a little disappointing. The
chicken is still KFC chicken after all so it was extra crispy and well-seasoned and
the doughnuts were surprisingly tasty. Overall, the Doughnut Sandwich was a bit of a messy,
heavy, and greasy let-down, but still managed to be ordered and ordered until it sold out.
Red Ramen Burger - Red Robin
A burger made with ramen? The world has officially seen everything. The idea of a ramen burger
was first introduced in 2013 by Keizo Shimamoto, and Red Robin immediately saw the potential
in this new, hip item and thought it would be the perfect addition to their menu. So
basically they ripped it off and called it their own. While the idea of a ramen burger
itself already sounds a little bizarre, Red Robin's version was certainly not for everyone
either. The "knock-off" version, the Red Ramen Burger, was topped with "teriyaki and Chiu
chow aioli, fried jalapeño coins, chili-infused shredded cabbage, carrot, and onion, and was
garnished with basil," - and was all wedged between two crispy ramen buns, because, well
why not. The noodles were mostly described as "glutenous noodle pucks" and didn't exactly
make a case for the tastiest buns in town. And we can't omit how messy it was to eat.
Each bite had you reaching for the napkins and trying to put back together what had just
fallen back onto your plate: you would have been better off eating this with a knife and
a fork. In general, it wasn't so bad - but it wasn't so good either, compared to the
OG Ramen Burger, but it was a decent enough alternative.
Fritos Pie Pizza - Little Ceasar's
Little Ceasar's came up with a brand new, um..., culinary invention?... called the Fritos
Pie Pizza - which left everyone with some mixed feelings. It's basically just a thin
crust pizza topped with chili cheese sauce, taco sauce, and cheese and it comes with a
bag of Fritos. Yes, the bag comes separately. Which is actually a good thing, since you
can monitor how many corn chips to put on your pizza. The Fritos come straight out of
the bag onto your pizza, to give it that extra crunchiness that no one really asked for.
Seriously, the traditional cheese pizza is fine all on its own and does not need all
of these bells and whistles. Thin crust? Good. Cheese? Good. Fritos? well... we could easily
live without them on a pizza. This one's only available at some locations in Tennessee,
so, if you're nowhere near there and you still want to try one for yourself, it's easy: just
do it at home. I mean, you already kind of had to make it yourself anyway so, Frito your
pizza away!
Cranberry Turkey Burger - Fatburger
Like Thanksgiving dinner in a burger, the Cranberry Turkey Burger from Fatburger was
featured as a limited-time menu item as part of a fall promotion in 2019. It was a classic
turkey burger but, with a little twist. The secret ingredient to this mighty sandwich?
It's the cranberry jam. Is there anything more Thanksgiving-y than some delicious cranberry
sauce? I think not. The burger consisted of a grilled turkey patty with cranberry jelly,
cranberry mayo, lettuce, pickles, and onions on a toasted bun. People were happily surprised
by this rare, yet obvious combination of ingredients, and the burger was well-received overall,
just not so popular. To top off this decadent burger, you could also enjoy a nice Pumpkin
Spice Shake with some sweet potato fries, making this the perfect Thanksgiving meal
combo.
Double Big Mac - McDonald's
When the iconic Big Mac first hit the Golden Arches' menu in the late 1960s, people went
wild. Well, for those who consider the Big Mac an appetizer or a small snack, you'll
be happy to hear that in countries like Canada, China, and Japan, there is an even greater
burger waiting for you: the Double Big Mac. With 4 beef patties, 2 slices of cheese, and
extra everything else, it's quite a sight to behold. The double Big Mac became the biggest
hamburger produced by McDonald's, and possibly one of the scariest too. With a whopping 720
calories, the condiments aren't the only extras that go along with this burger. The fat, cholesterol,
and guilt are also doubled when downing one of these giants. This Big Mac is certainly
not for the faint of heart, literally. The saying "double trouble" seems to make a whole
lot more sense now, doesn't it?
