Fast food items have the ability to become
major hits like the Big Mac or the
Baconator however sometimes the choices
fast-food restaurants make are more
flopper than whopper what did you get
that gave it to me
here are some of those very epic fails
the 10 biggest fast-food failures of all
time long john silver's big catch meal
welcome aboard the ship of this seafood
monstrosity was added to the Long John
Silver's menu in 2013 it contained a 7.5
ounce piece of haddock served with a
pile of onion rings and a side of hush
puppies Long John Silver's described the
meal as the largest fish we have ever
offered and claimed it was a
game-changer the big catch meal was
launched in May and was discontinued by
August of that same year due to a
significant backlash it turns out that
Long John Silver's was also serving up a
shockingly unhealthy amount of calories
and fat the big catch meal contained
more trans fats and the average person
should eat in two weeks a lot of this
was attributed to the fact that these
items were cooked up in a big vat of
partially hydrogenated frying oil by the
end of 2013
Long John Silver's agreed to look into
new oil for their fryers that would
replace hydrogenated oil in their
restaurants this meal was actually
panned as the worst restaurant meal in
America by the Center for Science and
the public interest
well that's hardly the image we want for
Long John Silver's Pizza Hut's gourmet
rebrand gourmet cooking for you Pizza
Hut is basically known for serving
greasy cheesy pizza but in 2014 after
declining sales they decided they wanted
to appeal to foodie Millennials and
updated their menu to include new
artisan options they dubbed this rebrand
flavor of now some of these artisan
toppings included
honey sriracha sauce Peruvian cherry
peppers and Asiago crust the company
even reached out to some of the more
trendy food trucks in New York City to
help suggests many flavors and items
that would appeal to the hip foodies out
there expecting someone with some sort
of vehicle though not this however at
the end of May 2014 the CEO of Pizza
Hut's parent company Yum Brands
incorporated admitted at a conference in
New York City that the rebrand was not
working that's a terrible call what was
once referred to as the biggest rebrand
in the company's history was now the
biggest flaw they'd seen at least in a
long time it turns out that they
neglected one major thing their target
audience just wanted cheap greasy pizza
within a year
Pizza Hut ended up making a complete
reversal back to their original menu
McDonald's Pizza big jaws has lots stuff
for dinner like you family size pizzas
with the rise of pizza chains at this
time the company decided it wanted to
tap into this corner of the dinner food
market and introduced their own pizza by
the early 1990s McDonald's implemented
it in a portion of their Canadian and
American locations Pizza time however
there were a lot of complications that
came with this decision first there was
an equipment issue the McDonald's Pizza
required a new oven to cook which was
designed to quickly cook pizza dough
from frozen within six minutes
[Music]
it meant that every single restaurant
location would have to obtain a new oven
and find room for it in their kitchen
next there was a drive-thru issue the
box is designed for the pizza didn't fit
through the window which meant that they
had to be expanded that called for more
renovations the pizza also took a total
of 11 minutes to cook and prepare which
is way too long to keep up with
drive-through times people frequently
had to pull over and wait a long time
for their pizzas not only was this a
flop but it a girder pizza chains and
prompted them to create smear campaign
style ads against McDonald's that was
like watching Ronald
not on eat a cheeseburger off the
grimace Burger Kings Halloween whopper
gene Suzie flavorful with just a hint oh
wow in 2015
Burger King was consumed by the
Halloween spirit it resulted in the
Halloween whopper being added to the
menu it was your average whopper but it
was served on a spooky black bun to
achieve the dark hue the buns were
infused with a1 steak sauce the burger
itself also came in a cute
mummy themed wrapper as an added bonus
it turns out that the burger was more
nightmare-inducing than anticipated
welcome to my world
customers began to report that the black
whopper was turning their poop green and
not just any green neon green the reason
for this was the dye in the sauce
however according to some nutritionists
a typical serving of a1 steak sauce
doesn't contain enough dye to have this
effect the consensus was that Burger
King was clearly using a concentrated
version in their buns now the green poop
wasn't really a health hazard
it just came as more of a shock to
people who were not mentally prepared
for the experience Domino's Oreo dessert
pizza cookies the best 2007 was an
interesting year I phone for 399 you
could order a giant Pizza sized cookie
from Domino's it was served as an
Edition with any purchase the Oreo
dessert pizza consisted of a warm giant
chocolate chip cookie slathered in Oreos
and super sweet sticky vanilla syrup
most people agreed that this concoction
was way too sweet and also too chewy
according to some reviews the cookie
portion was also pretty bland
it's that signature creamy filling that
we really care about so when you take it
out of the equation it's not the same
overall it was unappealing and didn't
last very long on the menu while
Domino's has developed a substantial
reputation for affordable pizza delivery
over the years it has never really been
known for its
deserts it seems as though they've taken
the hint after trying to launch other
types of dessert pizzas over the years
the company has seemingly decided to
stick with brownies Cinna Stix and lava
cake for the time being eat a pizza once
in a while
McDonald's spaghetti McDonald's new
pasta dinners with your favorite
meatballs
in the 1970s McDonald's decided to
develop mix spaghetti the dish was long
spaghetti noodles covered in marinara
sauce topped with shredded cheese and
served in a cardboard container in the
late 1980s and early 1990s
McDonald's decided to give it another
try they launched mix spaghetti in some
locations across the United States
mostly the south don't you like
spaghetti and meatballs huh this time
they tried a few varieties including
lasagna and fettuccine alfredo
these products were launched in those
locations to be tested over the course
of a year but like the mick pizza people
do not go to McDonald's for Italian food
this item was taken off the menu pretty
quickly still McDonald's did try to
bring back their mix spaghetti in other
locations around the world you can try
it yourself but you have to go to the
Philippines to get it out of you Burger
Kings satis fries it's time to get
satisfied in 2013
Burger King decided they needed to cater
to a more health-conscious audience in
North America and decided that the best
way to do this was to release healthier
fries hmm this organic the Burger King
saddest fries were made with a type of
batter that was designed to absorb less
of the frying oil this way they wouldn't
contain as much fat as regular fries the
results were fries that were only four
grams less in fat than the regular fries
and still contained 270 calories in a
small serving only about 70 calories
less than regular fries according to
some reports many customers started
calling them saddest fries let's face it
when you're hungry for french fries you
don't care about calorie content I want
high cholesterol I would
and butter and buckets of cheese okay
because you know you're not making a
healthy choice to begin with for example
even though McDonald's has released a
lot of healthier options their biggest
sellers are still french fries and
burgers Burger King's top seller is
still the whopper within a year Burger
King started discontinuing these satis
fries from their menu and went back to
the good old greasy fries people know
and love Dairy Queen's Brie's come on
I'll treat you to a Dairy Queen just
like Burger King Dairy Queen also
decided to try to appeal to more
health-conscious customers in 1990 Dairy
Queen launched the breeze it was
basically a blizzard made from frozen
yogurt instead of ice cream it lasted
about a decade before the company
finally pulled the plug and discontinued
it not like this the problem was that it
just didn't sell some employees actually
stated that the frozen yogurt supply in
the store would often go bad or expire
before they could sell any of it one of
the issues could be that a frozen yogurt
based blizzard still isn't actually
healthy especially when you mix in a
bunch of candies and chocolates that
completely defeat the purpose of a
healthier base it was technically lower
in calories than a regular blizzard but
still had a ton of them when the mix-ins
were added or perhaps the problem is
that Dairy Queen was too early and
they're thinking I really want to sort
of make a healthy low-fat or nonfat now
frozen yogurt chains are incredibly
popular and people enjoy turning to this
alternative as a healthier way to enjoy
a cool dessert cannot come to Robbie I

Taco Bell's seafood salad
during the 1980s the restaurant chain
best associated with stoners and post
bar runs decided to try to invent a
healthy seafood item to compete with
these successful fillet a fish at
McDonald's in this vintage commercial
for the concoction you can clearly see
that they are trashing the competition
by implying that ordering fish at a fast
food chain isn't real fish ironic pretty
good coming from a chain that is
constantly under scrutiny for the
quality of its beef now the more logical
solution to compete with the seafood
market would have just been to introduce
fish tacos
however Taco Bell decided they were
going to do something completely
different and decided on a salad instead
Ron would you like some salad the Taco
Bell seafood salad contained a mixture
of typical salad vegetables topped with
shrimp white fish and snow crab extra
toppings also included cheese and olives
and in taco bell style the whole thing
was served inside an edible taco shell
Bowl does anyone really want seafood
when they go to Taco Bell it turns out
the answer is no because this item was
discontinued Wendy's super bar you eat
all that I won't when you think of a
salad bar and buffet style experience
you don't typically think about Wendy's
but back in the 80s and 90s they gave it
a go with their super bar basically this
was a big self-serve buffet bar that
featured salads fruit Mexican food and
pasta the pasta section included two
types of pasta with sauce options and
garlic bread made from hamburger buns in
the Mexican section where nachos refried
beans and a build-your-own taco bar then
dessert was a choice between chocolate
or vanilla pudding the super bar cost
about $2.99 per person about 540 today
after inflation which if you ask us is a
steal
and a lot of other people thought so too
in fact so many people loved the idea
that Wendy's really couldn't keep up
with running a buffet and still
preparing their regular orders they now
had to do
their usual job with the added
responsibilities of cleaning restocking
and preparing foods for the super bar
not to mention it's probably not very
profitable to be charging that little
when you know that people are going back
for as many helpings as they can face
deep and abusing that free refill policy
by 1998 the super bar was discontinued
although some locations still carried it
until 2006 this is the gentleman help
