mcmansion mcmansion mcdonald's mcdonald's seems to have an eye for success but sometimes certain menu
items fly right under the radar and head straight into oblivion here are more of the 10 bizarre food
items that disappeared from the mcdonald's menu part two don't you dare mick dlt what do you
want michael i make dlt no i already told you they don't make those anymore don't you ever get tired
of your old cold tomato and lettuce being mixed in with the rest of your warm burger the answer is
probably no because that's what a burger is but back in 1984 mcdonald's thought of the perfect
or useless new menu item that would resolve all of your temperature problems the mcdlt the mcdlt
aimed to keep the hot side hot and the cool side cool and was basically just a regular burger but
came in two different compartments one had the bun and the patty aka the warm elements oh that
is so hot while the other side had you guessed it the lettuce and tomato the cold toppings the
first issue with this burger was the packaging it was made of polystyrene which isn't exactly
eco-friendly and people would often complain the other problem was the inconvenience of the whole
burger turns out people aren't a fan of the build your own burger thing and thought it was too much
of a hassle plus it was just a standard burger topped with veggies and nothing mind-blowing
while the mcdlt spawned a cousin the big and tasty the concept didn't last and it was discontinued in
the 1990s i'm really gonna miss you cheddar melt this is no mere sandwich of grilled meat toasted
bread robin this is god another mcdonald's fallen angel menu item that disappeared from
our lives way too soon is the cheddar melt and yes it was just as delicious as it sounds
wow my god so creamy introduced in the late 1980s the cheddar melt was a grilled beef patty with a
teriyaki glaze topped with caramelized onions and cheddar cheese sauce all placed on a rye bun it
was an immediate success but sadly it was polled in the early 90s and the fans were left in despair
the late 1980s was a period when mcdonald's would rapidly introduce new items and discontinue them
just as quickly and the cheddar melt was a victim of that trend over the years it's made some
reappearances here and there like at a mcdonald's in wisconsin where they started selling it again
for a limited time back in 2014 which makes sense since wisconsin and cheese go together like peanut
butter and jam but it never stuck around for the long haul some people are still desperately trying
to recreate the mcd's cheddar melt in online recipes claiming they taste like the real deal
but the only way to know for sure would be to go back in time and try one for yourself either way
the disappearance of the cheddar melt is still greatly mourned i believe i can bring him back
eggs benedict mcmuffin is it a real egg it's safe to say that mcdonald's isn't exactly the fanciest
place to eat it's a quick on the go fast food joint perfect for your busier days but in 2016 it
seems as though they tried to change that image by offering a more refined cuisine and came up
with the eggs benedict mcmuffin it was basically mcdonald's attempt at a deluxe menu item and it
failed it's understandable that with every other fast food chain trying to compete with the golden
arches they would want to change up their menu a bit and create a buzz but some things should
probably be left untouched like fast food eggs benedict that's true while the two topless egg
mcmuffins were covered with the hollandaise sauce the eggs benedict weren't really benedict at all
meaning they weren't poached they just looked like regular eggs placed on the bun nothing too
fancy there and it also didn't help that the sauce wasn't exactly the finest either wasn't too bad
but wasn't too good while most people seemed to look past the fact that the eggs benedict mcmuffin
really wasn't top notch others complained about how bad it was so after the promotion
ran its course the eggs benedict mcmuffin was pulled from the menu and was never seen again
maybe mcdonald's should stick to what they do best and leave the fancier dishes for another
time and place you're right mick lobster your main lobster with crab and seafood stuffing oh
yum ah yes seafood exactly what you're looking for when you go to a hamburger place like mcdonald's
what while the mclobster might not sound like the safest thing to get out of mcdeez
it was actually way better than it seems mcdonald's came up with the mick lobster in
1993 but due to supply issues and the high cost of production it was discontinued not long after
much to the fans discontent the mclobster was a sandwich that contained chunks of lobster mixed
with mayonnaise celery and served on a six-inch roll with lettuce while people were skeptical at
first and for good reason this was after all mcdonald's selling seafood they were quickly
proven wrong surprisingly the mclobster began selling like hotcakes hence the supply shortage
after being away for some time it finally made an appearance again but only in certain parts of the
u.s and canada if you're lucky enough to live in new england or canada you might still be able to
get your hands on one occasionally kind of like the mcrib it comes and goes keeping its fans on
their toes because the real true ingredient to make a good lobster roll is fresh lobster it
only makes sense that it would be made available at locations where they can provide that would
you want some old stale lobster mixed with warm mayo yuck definitely not hey eddie mighty wings
players can't stop talking about mcdonald's new mighty wings he's going to take my mighty
sometimes the only thing you need is some good old chicken wings and in 2013 you could get some at
your local mcdonald's the fast food giant decided to expand its chicken selection because you know
it wasn't big enough and released their mighty wings sold in packs of 3 5 or ten the mighty
wings were chicken wings covered in spicy breading hey come on tell me that don't smell good it huh
it smells okay while this idea seemed genius and totally suitable for mcdonald's it didn't last
in 2014 after the prices were drastically dropped to sell all of the remaining wings and avoid waste
they disappeared one of the main reasons why the mighty wings failed was because of how spicy they
were not that they weren't spicy enough but the complete opposite they were so spicy most people
couldn't even taste anything but the spice another issue was the price according to the mcdonald's
menu the mighty wings were considered a premium item and the prices were not the most competitive
people were more likely to spend their hard-earned money on favorite safe choices rather than try
a new and allegedly too spicy item the mighty wings were a good idea just a poorly executed one
crazy to think mcds could have been catering your next super bowl party huh they're spicy super size
sorry miss pinewood but why would anybody need this much soda well technically not a menu item
the super size option is still something that disappeared from the mcdonald's menu
it's one of those things that represents america sink big for those who aren't familiar with super
size it was basically having the option to up size your fries and your soft drink making your
meals seem even more giant and bigger is better obviously it was cause for concern when it came
to the health hazards as supersizing a meal also means supersizing the calories but that
wasn't even the main reason why mcds stopped offering the option the real reason was that the
super-sized items weren't making as much money as they wanted so they decided to stop doing it also
it may or may not have had something to do with the social experiment documentary super size me
by morgan spurlock that came out in 2004 the same year mcdonald's stopped supersizing their menu
in this documentary spurlock wanted to see what affects eating mcdonald's every day for every meal
would have on his health his rules try everything on the menu at least once and say yes whenever
he was asked if he wanted to supersize his meals the aftermath of this documentary kind of freaked
people out and they demanded healthier options from the fast food chain mcdonald's listened and
the super size option was soon gone whether or not super size me played a part in the options
departure maybe it was a good decision anyway you know for your health and stuff beef tallow fries
oh god this is good you can't think about mcdonald's without thinking about the fries well
apparently back when mickey d's was first starting out they used to be way tastier
all thanks to a very special ingredient they would use to give the fries that extra little tasty kick
the fries used to be fried in something called beef tallow or if you prefer beef fat which wasn't
exactly vegetarian friendly it was the tallow that gave the fries their signature rich and buttery
flavor that drove everyone crazy give me give me give me oh my god i love you it sounds a little
peculiar to use fat to cook fries but it was the cheapest most convenient option for the chain at
the time and it seemed to work for a while until people started bringing up how beef tallow could
be a health hazard and the cause of some serious cholesterol issues mcdonald's then changed up the
recipe in an attempt to lower the amount of saturated fat and replace the tala with 100
vegetable oil in the 1990s the only problem was the taste to get back to that iconic recognizable
taste they started adding beef flavoring to the fries even after claiming they were now
vegan while mcd stopped using any type of beef for fries in most parts of the world in the u.s
they said the heck with it and still sell fries with the added beef seasoning but don't worry
it's natural whatever that means i'm so confused right now chopped beef steak sandwich here thanks
it's not a hot dog with such a robust menu it shouldn't come as a surprise that mcdonald's at
some point sold a beef steak sandwich sure it sounds like something you would probably want
to order at a steakhouse and not mcdonald's but believe it or not it was real and it goes all
the way back to the late 1970s the chopped beef steak sandwich was basically like a long burger
on a roll topped with onions and served with some barbecue sauce on the side so that you could put
as much on as you wanted it also came with a very peculiar side of onion nuggets battered
and deep fried chunks of onion despite the kind of appetizing description of this mighty sandwich it
never really took off and ended up disappearing from the menu no come on it's not even real
food the reason we don't want to speculate but it might have something to do with the fact that the
chopped beef steak wasn't actual steak it was just ground beef perhaps a more honest name would have
won a few extra points in the public's eye either way this now forgotten item paved the way for a
now beloved and anticipated item that entered our lives only two years later the mcrib so while the
chopped beef steak sandwich is no longer with us it still left us with its very cherished cousin
and to that we say so long beefsteak maybe try again when you want to be honest
i made mistakes i want to take them back mix soup i can walk into mcdonald's order soup and they'll
make it mcdonald's is arguably one of the best comfort food restaurants out there it's familiar
warm and delicious and you know what else is a familiar warm and delicious comfort food
soup it would then only make sense to serve soup at mcdonald's right
well mix soup was there to answer all of your prayers except it wasn't anything magical and
that's probably why the item didn't stay on the menu for too long i never understood soup it was
literally just campbell's soup poured into a cup with a big m on it and voila you now had
mixed soup mcdonald's didn't even try to hide the fact that they didn't make the soup themselves but
hey at least they were honest at first people were reluctant to try the mix soup because well soup
isn't really why you go to mickey d's but once they gave it a try most were charmed and actually
liked it and who wouldn't considering campbell's soup is already tasty to begin with the mix soup
came in two varieties broccoli and cheese soup and chicken noodle and were only available during the
winter months in some locations not to say that mixed soup wouldn't be a good idea to bring back
because honestly we always need a little extra comfort in our lives but maybe if mcds came up
with their own carefully prepared and refined soup recipe it would make a great addition to warm us
during these cold months normal can of condensed soup you put the water in it you heat it up
it's done mix salad shakers would you like some salad since i am not a rabbit no i do
not mcdonald's is obviously all about convenience and efficiency everything is designed to be quick
and delicious and that's exactly what they had in mind when they came up with the mixed salad
shakers in the early 2000s the mixed salad shakers now dethroned by the premium salads came in garden
chef and grilled chicken caesar options and were basically entire salads shoved into a cup all
you needed to do was add the dressing and shake it was the perfect way to avoid any extra and
unwanted mess the concept seemed to really take off and people were loving the idea of being able
to simply close the lid and shake it up but others thought the idea was a little over hyped and that
without this cool shaker the salads were pretty ordinary but overall the reviews were good however
despite their likability the shakers were replaced with the regular boring salad while today salads
have been discontinued all together we can't help but miss shaking things up a bit once in a while
i like to move it move it the mixed salad shakers were probably the funnest way to eat a salad who
goes to mcdonald's and orders a salad tap or click for more great videos here for the first time
