big kahuna burn that's that hawaiian burger joint right here they got some tasty burger
fails in the fast food world have not exactly been scarce so let's head down memory lane as
we list the biggest fast food fail the year you were born this is a rap burger
piccolo's 1960s can i eat the pickle well there's a lot of salt in it but yeah it's fine i mean it
is a vegetable if you were born in 1968 then you were lucky enough to be born at the same
time as piccolo's the ultimate deep fried snack perfect for any vinegary and greasy craving
the batter fried dill pickle slices were introduced on sonic's menu with enthusiasm
but didn't exactly have a long run this was a shame really because most people went crazy
for the tiny things after all pickles have been a staple ingredient on any burger so how could deep
frying one make it bad i have no idea piccolos are mostly considered a failure not because of their
bad taste but because of their failed comeback to the menu a couple of years later indeed they
were also reintroduced to menus upon the chain's 50th anniversary celebration in 2003 but alas
they weren't able to stick this time around either apparently third time isn't really a charm
how sad is that mixed spaghetti 1970s uh scoozy baba the booby kick peter what are you doing
speaking italian when you think about mcdonald's italian cuisine probably isn't the first thing
that pops into your head but back in the 1970s the golden arches decided to veer off the fast
food track and experiment with none other than pasta and thus mixed spaghetti was born did you
know that the food you eat becomes energy yeah boom that's spaghetti if you think mcdonald's
selling spaghetti seems a little odd you would be more than right especially considering this
new attempt at branching out fizzled out pretty quickly this concept did not catch on at all
in the u.s mostly because people didn't want to bother using utensils when eating at mcdonald's
and because it was hard for people to wrap their minds around buying pasta at a burger joint
however in the philippines it's a whole different story today mixed spaghetti has become a pretty
popular menu item and is beloved all over the country mcdonald's has even stepped up its game
a bit by serving the pasta with a piece of fried chicken a seemingly weird combination that still
somehow works magic in the philippines spaghetti angel i'm making a spaghetti angel seafood salad
1980s we went to taco bell eric he started crying in taco bell we can all agree that taco bell is
the ultimate fast food restaurant when you want to get your late night munchies on but back in 1986
taco bell tried to stray away from its successful but unhealthy roots and introduced a seafood salad
to win the hearts and stomachs of health-conscious customers the 1980s were definitely a different
time and this monumental fail is living proof ron would you like some salad since i am not a rabbit
no i do not by adding a non-meat option to its menu taco bell was mostly trying to play
catch up with mcdonald's and compete with its newly released filet of fish but if you look
at which one is still on the menu today and which got thrown back into the sea it's clear
who won that war the seafood salad was served in a taco bowl of all things and had every topping
that would usually go into a taco like cheese tomatoes lettuce and olives but no beef instead
you had a mix of shrimp white fish and crab for obvious reasons the seafood salad was discontinued
because well no one wanted to eat seafood at a fast food place even less so from a taco place
thankfully taco bell was able to learn from its mistake and never tampered with fish ever again
you like seafood do you god breeze 1990s there's a dairy queen too like blizzards and stuff
you betcha dairy queen has been around for what seems like forever and the world has been graced
with delicious blizzards ever since obviously ice cream is not exactly the healthiest of desserts
and no one goes on a trip to dairy queen expecting to cut back on calories however in 1990 as health
consciousness was becoming more of a thing the chain was desperate to remain a fan favorite
and tried to appeal to calorie-conscious customers this is why dq came up with the
breeze a frozen yogurt version of their famous blizzard hey everyone wanna go get frozen yogurt
just because the chain wanted to follow the health trend doesn't mean every customer was
interested in eating healthy ice cream the sales were low and the feedback wasn't always positive
the chain even claimed that the demand for the product was so low the frozen yogurt would often
go bad before it could even be sold the breeze was still able to stay on the menu for about a decade
before dairy queen finally pulled the plug and discontinued it but looking at this today things
are much different and many of us would probably welcome a slightly lighter dessert option with
open arms your move dq as we keep moving on take a second to hit that like button would ya thank you
next dinner baskets 1992. geez you had to take me to such a dump burger king was booked up when
you're at a fast food restaurant you probably don't plan on staying for very long it's the
whole point of fast food this is why it's a bit kooky how burger king tried to class up
their brand in 1992 by introducing dinner baskets every day between 4 p.m and 8 p.m you could go to
your local burger king and have a proper sit-down meal as the chain began offering table service you
simply showed up waited for an employee to show you to your table and were given complimentary
popcorn to snack on while your dinner basket was being prepared ah very nice the all-in-one
meals were served in baskets and included the choice of a whopper meal crispy chicken filet
and fried shrimp while it might not sound like the worst idea in the world the dinner baskets
weren't exactly beloved by burger king's customers mostly because of how long it took for the food to
actually arrive again fast food is called such for a reason and no one really felt like waiting
around unsurprisingly it didn't take long before burger king put a stop to the dinner baskets and
table service and went back to what it knew how to do best serving quick and tasty burgers
this is a tasty burger big foot pizza 1993 pizza time 1993 was definitely the year of the
oversized pizza three of america's biggest pizza chains pizza hut dominoes and little caesars all
rolled out nearly identical super huge and super short-lived pizza concepts that all
highlighted how impractical and unnecessarily big they were pizza hut definitely takes the crown
in terms of which was the craziest the bigfoot pizza was released in response to little caesar's
big big cheese and was without a doubt the most fascinating gimmick to come out of pizza hut in
the 90s not only because of its gigantic size but also because of the ridiculous marketing
it was a solid 12 inches by 24 inches and could be topped with whatever you like that's interesting
that's very interesting the chain spent millions of dollars to saturate television newspapers and
even billboards with advertisements claiming the giant pizza wasn't just a mere pizza it was a real
cultural event it even leased a four million dollar blimp with the cartoony bigfoot pizza logo
splashed on the side which later crashed onto the roof of an apartment building on the west
side of manhattan and injured two crew members this was one of the chain's most unique and most
embarrassing campaigns ever it did not go according to plan sometimes bigger is better and
other times sticking to a regular size and regular ad campaign is the best and safest way to go
indeed indeed super bar 1998. thank you dinner tomorrow night that's all you can eat linguini
technically the super bar was rolled out in 1988 but it was ten years later in 1998
that the genius idea was scrapped and pulled out of the restaurant the super bar offered
customers unlimited self-serve dining from three stations the garden spot the mexican fiesta and
pasta pasta the garden spot offered multiple toppings to create your own salad or top your
baked potato the mexican fiesta was a build your own taco station with options like rice
refried beans and wendy's famous chili and finally there was pasta pasta the italian
pasta bar with linguine and rotini pasta along with your choice of sauce and delicious garlic
breadsticks you could get access to all of that food and fill up your plate as many times as you
wanted for the mere price of 299 which basically sounds like a steal shut up and take my money so
what could have gone so wrong with such an amazing idea well it didn't fail because the food was bad
or the concept didn't stick it failed because of the complete opposite it was too popular
employees couldn't keep up with the demand it was hard to keep the bar clean and refilling
the stations was a nightmare for once something didn't fail because of poor sales but rather
because of too many is that good it sounds bad nick africa 2002 see they're mcdonald's
i'm mcdowells mcdonald's has an impressive and extensive history of trial and error but nothing
quite ever topped the failure that was the mick africa the mc africa was released in 2002 in
norway and denmark as a limited edition olympic games burger the burger consisted of beef cheese
tomatoes and salad all in a pita style sandwich and was said to be based upon an authentic african
recipe so far so good right the only problem was the mick africa was released during a
period of extreme famine in africa to the point where 12 million people were facing starvation
in southern africa that doesn't sound right to add even more salt to the wound it was sold in
norway aka one of the world's wealthiest countries yeah not the greatest look for mcds many people
began calling out the chain calling the mcafrica inappropriate and distasteful to redeem itself and
get back into the public's good graces mcdonald's offered to allow aid agencies to put collection
boxes and fundraising posters in its norwegian restaurants while the mc africa was still on sale
in the participating locations of course this wouldn't solve all of the controversy the burger
created and mcdees still had a serious public relations embarrassment on its hands yikes that's
a recipe for disappointment enormous omelet sandwich 2005 just waiting for my breakfast
lois to start your day on the right foot there's nothing like a hearty filling breakfast by the mid
2000s mcdonald's was already the major player in the fast food breakfast game and burger king was
trying to change that that's when in 2005 bk came out with the enormous omelet sandwich which was
rightfully named to say the least the giant sandwich featured everything a good
breakfast should have only all put together on a hoagie-style bun a two egg omelet along with
two slices of american cheese three strips of bacon and a sausage patty while it sounds like
the perfect breakfast of champions in terms of nutrition there wasn't much to discuss
in fact it was probably one of the unhealthiest things burger king had ever released it came in
at 730 calories with 47 grams of fat which were even heftier numbers than the famed whopper
plus it also contained a good 2 000 milligrams of sodium which again not the most nutritious way to
tackle the day no i can't take it i can't take it jerry it's too much it's too much
burger king revealed that its intentions were solely to offer more alternatives for guests who
want a convenient and filling breakfast but even those people didn't want a sandwich that could
send them straight to the er the enormous omelet sandwich was kept on the menu for about a year
before it was discontinued and never talked about again it's for the best frescata sandwiches
2006. you were an executive this is fast food not fast food good food quickly in recent years fast
food restaurants have all tried to offer healthier options on their menus in hopes of attracting more
customers and in 2006 it was wendy's turn to give it a go the chain released a line of fresh
artisanal frescata sandwiches to give subway a run for its money the sandwiches originally
came in four varieties the friscata club roasted turkey with basil pesto black forest ham and swiss
and roasted turkey and swiss and they immediately all became fan favorites noice despite their
beloved status and positive feedback the frascata sandwiches still managed to only stay on the
wendy's menu for about half a year before they were pulled why they took way too long to assemble
thus defeating the whole purpose of fast food they were all made to order making the prep time
way too slow and inefficient which resulted in the extinction of the friscata sandwich
while wendy's is still all about freshness these days the chances of ever getting artisan deli
style sandwiches again are pretty slim why order up more great videos just tap or click hit that
