Since its founding in 1953 burger king has evolved into the
multi-billion dollar enterprise that we know and love today classic meals like
the whopper have made it into homes across north america and
beyond yeah my stomach just growls for a whopper
but what about the awesome menu items we've lost to time
here is the list of 10 discontinued burger king products we miss
fiery chicken fries chicken
these zesty chicken treats hit burger king's menu in early 2015
following the original chicken fries craze introduced to bk's menu the year
before customers loved the crossover between
traditional potato fries and chicken tenders so much
that a spicy version was never far off on the horizon
it's spicy when the restaurant came out with fiery chicken fries
the public went wild and the item quickly rose in the ranks as one of the
most popular orders the snack was described as looking like
thick matzah sticks with the red hot color of hot cheetos the chicken
fries were also packaged the same as the original potato version
according to burger king the intent was to create a fry
so hot it would actually offend you as their catchy slogan put it offensive
they were offensive many other fast food restaurants were
coming out with spicy versions of foods in order to satisfy the hot
chili-seeking millennial customers places like wendy's came up with their
version ghost pepper fries and carl's jr introduced their el diablo
burgers but none managed to create the same kind
of cult following as the chicken fries and many of these spicy creations were
lost to history unfortunately fiery chicken fries were
no exception and they came off the market not long
after their release hopefully the chain restaurant will
bring them back one day at least as a specialty item western
whopper it's like the wild wild west up in there
burger king's western whopper was targeted towards a specific demographic
and made most of its sales through younger men it was first introduced to
the menu in the early 90s and shares many similarities with the original
whopper burger adding bacon and barbecue sauce it operated under the tag
line feed your mustache and was also wildly popular to begin with in ads the
funny tagline was used literally granting every person who ate the burger
a long curly mustache oh my god dad what's on your face the
burger itself boasted a huge sesame seed bun
topped with one of the restaurant's famous flame grilled beef patties
melted cheese lettuce tomato onion and mayo adding the extra western items to
the burger made it an irresistible lunch item
around the same time other variants of the whopper brand were being created
like the chicken whopper which was designed to branch out the
company from strictly beef patties this is a rapper it too has been
discontinued despite rave reviews of the western
whopper it was pulled from the menu in 1997
and has since been replaced with a few other variants of the original sandwich
to this day many fans of the meal still put bacon and barbecue sauce on their
sandwiches hoping it will taste the same as burger
king's hit we can only hope that one day the western whopper will return to town
bacon cheesy tots give me some of your tots no go find your own
based on their original tater tots burger king's bacon cheesy tots made
their debut in october of 2018 hitting the market
with irresistible cheesy goodness the tots were pretty simple in their
construction a regular fried tater tot filled with cheese and bacon bits
and packaged similarly to the common chicken nugget
kitchen nuggets chicken nuggets yes in each pack there were eight tots
and they came with a handy side of ranch sauce for all your dipping needs
it was also widely advertised that the company used
real hickory bacon in their filling the snack became a popular late night order
and was instantly a fan favorite among those who
already loved the original potato version
in terms of advertisement burger king likes to keep their cards hidden as to
when they will release another version of the tots but they often post on
twitter hinting at new releases in march of 2019 they tweeted a message
to their fans hinting at the new menu item by circling the date of april 12th
with a set of emojis and the caption hope this works
get excited don't tap get excited get very excited
well it's safe to say that it did because the hype over bacon cheesy tots
was instantaneous now that their release
period is over it's just a matter of time before we're
gifted another amazing snack burger king ribs
we've got ribs so if you're a fan of ribs this next item will surely make
your mouth water the burger king ribs were added to the
menu in 2010 and gained a tentative but quickly enthusiastic
following after the largely unpopular release of
mcdonald's mcribs the macrib sandwich i don't care for that either
fast food diehards were unsure about spending money on a similar product
even if it was created by a different company in the end though the temptation
to try the burger king ribs was too much and the public ended up quickly becoming
obsessed with them advertised as a limited edition item the
ribs actually sold out in their first week
sending nearly 10 million of them out into the world before their time was up
some foodies suspect their wild success came about because the ribs were one of
the fresher unfrozen items available you've got to
hand it to the fans they know what's good even burger king
was slightly surprised by how popular the ribs became
selling at a slightly higher price than their usual products
the company figured they might make a bit more money with fewer sales
but the public was actually happy to pay more for a non-processed food item
ribs are also notoriously more difficult to cook
than say a chicken nugget so it was not only the quality of the food that had
changed but the time it took to make it but the
sales kept coming in and the burger king ribs went down in
history as one of the first rib meals to be a fast food success
chicken tenders best chicken tenders in town chicken has been sold in so many
different ways in fast food that it's hard to keep track
chicken nuggets tenders strips and sandwiches have all made their claim to
fame with varying degrees of success fried chicken barbecue chicken orange
chicken chicken king chicken marsala teriyaki chicken
but it's burger king's chicken tenders that we're here to discuss
sold in packs of about five they took over customers taste buds almost
immediately with their light flaky texture
and taste offering just a little kick of pepper with every bite
these tenders rivaled mcdonald's own nuggets as they were reported to taste
much less processed and more flavorful for aside the tenders were served with
honey which complemented the taste of the
tenders well according to customers just put some uh honey on those as
mcdonald's nuggets rose in popularity for their cheap prices and wide
availability burger king's chicken tenders seem to
take a hit and decided to review their formula
in the end they replaced the wholesome goodness with more bland versions which
left some fans of the original snack
dissatisfied according to them the change came about
in order to push a new line of sauces which would require a slightly blander
chicken to dip into and although the sauces were just as
delicious there was a hole in the stomachs of many
that could only be filled with the real thing
hopefully one day they'll decide to bring back the original recipe
cupcake shake shake and then wait shake it back the cupcake shake
came about in 2009 and was designed to resemble the mcdonald's mcflurry
marketed as a milkshake the shake really did taste like blended cupcake mix
and was topped with heavy whipped cream and multicolored sprinkles
for lovers of cupcake and ice cream treats this shake was an amazing
crossover between both it combines my two favorite things while
the cake flavor was undeniable some customers even added that the
dessert tasted like eggnog offering all the sweetness of the wintry
treat although desserts weren't the restaurant's main focus
the cupcake shake was considered a great success for the company in terms of ice
cream around the same time burger king came
out with funnel cake sticks with icing dipping sauce they'll put the fun in
funnel cake with all these desserts being added to
the menu how could fans of the brand choose between them unfortunately the
cupcake shake didn't last long on the permanent menu and was later
usurped by simpler treats like the soft-serve cone
still the shake seems to have a cult following and may
one day return to stores burger bundles you are just a wonderful joy ain't you
burger bundles made a splash in the company's repertoire
simply by being mini these tiny burgers were first introduced to the burger king
menu in 1987 coming in packs of three and rivaling
the similar efforts of enterprises like white castle one of
burger king's heavier competitors at the time
no matter what we are not ending this night without white castle in our
stomachs agreed agreed when customers opened the box
they found that all three of the many meals were attached
the burgers used the same flame broiled beef patties and were topped with
ketchup mustard and pickles at the customer's discretion
of course the public loved the novelty of the smaller bites and the fun quality
they brought to mealtime as well as the reduced prices when
considering what meal to get when they went to burger king
three mini burgers for much less than the price of a whopper
seemed a logical choice at the time of their marketing
the slogan the best food for fast times was used
probably to encourage these smaller portions and although they were a
total hit making these tiny burgers turned out to be more of a hassle than
the company originally thought as the patties would often get stuck on
the grill while being extremely popular with teens
the burgers were later discontinued city minis i smell cinnamon rolls
burger king's cinny minis were introduced to their breakfast menu
in 1998 essentially just much smaller cinnamon rolls they were
packaged in groups of four and came hot and ready to eat with an
icing dipping sauce icing on the cake check it out they were
advertised as being delicious bite-sized cinnamon rolls from the heart
of the bun meaning that only the best part the
middle was included customers seem to love this
idea and these amazing treats became some of burger king's best-selling baked
goods until the early 2000s when they were discontinued
fans of the city minis have created a petition to bring them back to bk
and gained an astonishing 2 352 signatures
well burger king seems to have heard their voices because a version of the
city minis was reintroduced as a specialty item
only available through delivery a little more expensive than the original 99 cent
version in 98 but still the same cinnamon goodness
although they are no longer part of the permanent menu
at least we got one last taste of them before they were gone forever
the loaded steakhouse so is there a steakhouse around
originally named the angus steak burger the loaded steakhouse was burger king's
attempt at creating a burger as popular as the whopper it had a
five-ounce angus patty and many similar toppings as the other
burgers on the menu but didn't seem to fly out of
restaurants right away with its slightly higher quality patty
the company was hoping it would outshine some of the other frozen products
frozen burger patties look good the name of the burger was then changed to
the angus steakhouse which ended up becoming the burger we know today
the loaded steakhouse this final version had most of the regular toppings but
added mashed potatoes fried onion and a1 sauce which gave the burger its
signature loaded flavor you got any ketchup oh
sorry just anyone sauce it one sucks the meal was
quickly vetted as one of the weirder items on the menu
but it became popular among burger king fans who loved the strange and novel
idea of putting mashed potatoes on a burger since being discontinued there
have been no signs of the burger coming back to the menu
but it was an interesting creation that will go down
in burger king history the angry whopper now might be a really good time for you
to get angry based on the most popular bk burger the angry whopper contained
all the same toppings as the whopper but added a bun infused with hot sauce
onion petals jalapenos and a secret spicy sauce
too spicy too spicy a burger clearly made for thrills seeking spice lovers
the angry whopper seem to some customers like a little too much spice for the
regular fast food fiend but it still managed to become a
popular novelty item it unfortunately came off the menu
almost as fast as it was added but made a short comeback in 2019
without the hot sauce bun this second version did a lot better in
terms of sales but it was discontinued in most
restaurants across the u.s and canada although it's still being sold in mexico
despite its intense flavor the angry whopper gained many
fans in its short run and carved out a spicy burger-shaped hole in the hearts
of fans when it was removed from the menu
