remember the pizza hut bigfoot pizza from the 90s that thing was huge we all have our fast food
favorites but did you know there have been a few blunders over the years well let's bite into the
10 worst fast food failures mcdonald's hula burger it's like a hula hoop right when the mcdonald
brothers set up the first mcdonald's restaurant they couldn't have imagined how their humble
burger stand would grow into the world's largest fast food chain today mcdonald's has more than
35 000 restaurants in over a hundred countries serving up a billion customers every year the
menu has changed a lot over the years but the one thing that hasn't is the company's commitment to
providing quality fast food at the best possible price some items on the mcdonald's menu weren't
always so popular though and many products have come and gone over the years after ray kroc took
over the chain from the brothers he introduced mcdonald's to the hula burger a vegetarian
burger in the 1960s it served as an alternative to american catholics who didn't eat meat on fridays
the burger consisted of a grilled pineapple slice on a bun with cheese no no however a competition
ensued with the filet of fish which was devised by lou growing a mcdonald's franchisee it didn't take
long before mcdonald's stopped making the hula burger since it was clear that its replacement
the filet of fish was gaining a lot more momentum taco bell's seafood salad you like seafood do you
in the world of fast food few chains have been as successful as taco bell over the past half century
the mexican-inspired restaurant has expanded to become one of the most recognizable names in the
industry but the story of taco bell isn't just about tacos it's the story of an industry that
has changed america and the world in the u.s alone the chain of restaurants has more than 8 thousand
locations including franchises and company-owned stores in 2006 taco bell was ranked the seventh
largest restaurant chain in the united states it isn't your normal burger joint either taco bell
has become famous for their unique take on mexican cuisine served in a fast food setting while most
of their items are loved by customers there have been a few menu items that left people scratching
their heads a now famous square fish patty on a bun was introduced by the mcdonald's restaurant
chain in 1962 and it instantly became a big hit changing the fast food game once again the filet
of fish led other fast food restaurants wanting to jump on the seafood frenzy as well taco bell was
one of these fast food behemoths and they made a daring move into the fast seafood market from
selling their own seafood salad and claiming it was far superior to other chain's seafood
offerings to criticizing other fish sandwiches as square hunks of phony fish the seafood salad
advertisements were grandiose and took some blatant shots at rival restaurant brands but how
did the public react to taco bell's new venture into unknown territory the results were clearly
less than ideal and it appears that most people's only memory of the seafood salad is how horrible
it was two thumbs down it's definitely best that taco bell sticks to what they do best making
american eyes style mexican food that comes in various shapes and sizes that is utterly delicious
wendy's super bar thank you dinner tomorrow night that's all you can eat linguini wendy serves up
its famous square hamburgers chicken sandwiches and fries for countless happy customers each day
all of its menu items are prepared fresh daily with no preservatives and they claim to be a
step above your normal fast food restaurants in terms of quality wendy's hamburgers are made with
lean meat and are cooked to order which is one of the reasons most customers have continued to
visit their local restaurant over the years there was one menu item at wendy's that may only be a
fond memory to a few customers this was truly a mishmash of all things you normally wouldn't
expect to find at wendy's things like pizza pasta and even pudding could be found in the windy super
bar these culinary basics would seem out of place at a typical hamburger joint but they
were a windy superbar mainstay at one time wendy's had an all-you-can-eat mega bar which debuted in
the late 1980s it strayed from the standard side salads and ventured into the world of
pasta mexican food and desserts all for the low low price of 2.99 shut up and take my money
customers might order everything from tacos and chili to fruit salads in addition to their double
bacon cheeseburger in the warm glow of that iconic 90s sunroom type dining area you'd think that this
would have been an instant success especially for the price well it was but for wendy's it was maybe
a case of too much of a good thing is a bad thing as the saying goes keeping the super bar clean and
well stocked was a difficult chore since throngs of people and perishable foods left out in the
open would cause a huge mess to clean especially during lunch rushes the super bar was in fact a
victim of its own popularity because it was too difficult to maintain the super bar closed in
1988 dairy queen breeze like blizzards and stuff you betcha dairy queen is the largest operator of
frozen fast food ice cream and related products in the world operating over 1700 restaurants across
north america headquartered in mchenry illinois dairy queen also operates internationally in the
philippines china and the czech republic they continue to offer many of the products that
have been fan favorites for decades but not all of their creative menu options have been so popular
the breeze dairy queen's healthy version of the blizzard was such a flop that it's likely being
ridiculed by competitors to this day dairy queen wanted to break into the frozen yogurt market
and offer their customers something a little healthier than the rest of their frozen treats
to this day the move has been one of their biggest product flops of all time however the chain's
objectives were noble dairy queen is probably best known for their renowned frozen delicacy
the blizzard the menu item wasn't established until 1985 45 years after the first store
opened despite the fact that the dessert was and continues to be a huge hit it didn't take long
for the company to consider adding a healthier version to its lineup so the dairy queen breeze
was introduced a lovely concept in principle but a disaster in practice dairy queen's breeze
was touted as a healthier alternative to the chain's popular blizzard from 1990 to 2000. the
breeze substituted frozen yogurt for ice cream but dairy queen's customers were not interested pesh
in fact because there were so few individuals who bought the product the frozen yogurt would
frequently expire before it could be consumed it seems as though people going to dairy queen knew
what they wanted and didn't try to kid themselves by ordering something healthy for their fast food
ice cream splurge burger king's enormous omelet sandwich what did i always tell you breakfast is
a big boy's most important meal of the day what better way to start the day than with a hearty
meal we're talking about eggs bacon sausage pancakes biscuits the works not just a basic
bowl of cereal at home or a tepid cup of coffee at the workplace of course with the frantic morning
commute and the fast-paced nature of today's world it's not easy to eat a hearty breakfast these days
fortunately as long as you live near a fast food restaurant the most essential meal of the day
does not have to be sacrificed for convenience you might think of mcdonald's with its mcmuffins
hot cakes and popular coffees when talking about fast food breakfast but for a quick morning meal
how often do people choose mcdonald's long-time competitor burger king the bk breakfast was first
served in 1979 and has a wide variety of breakfast items to choose from the
witch hash browns and french toast sticks are all excellent options a croissant wish oh the way she
said it was a lot prettier the enormous omelet sandwich however was possibly the most eager
to take on the task of being both inexpensive and filling the meal was introduced in 2005 and
was loaded with eggs cheese bacon and sausage it provided customers with a three-course breakfast
sandwich between two hoagie buns unfortunately the sandwich is no longer offered to loyal burger king
fans as it was just too much of a good thing and burger king's profit margins were taking a hit
long john silver's big catch fish for sport only not for meat fish meat is practically a vegetable
long john silvers has always been a controversial fast food chain with more than a few health code
violations and food poisoning cases to some of their outlandish menu options one such meal that
received some serious publicity before it was eventually pulled from menus was the big catch
coming in at a whopping 1 320 calories and with more trans fat than you should eat in two weeks
at one point long john silver's big catch was declared the worst restaurant meal in america
no doubt no doubt no doubt no doubt which is quite the hard title to acquire due to just
how much fast food exists in the united states the fish hush puppies and onion rings all went
into the same vat of hydrogenated oil in the same metal cage and emerged with the same golden crispy
coating toss it in a paper-lined basket and there you have it your heart attack-inducing dinner is
ready to be served although fried food is still a common sight in restaurants around the country
trans fats were also widely looked down upon so much so that artificial trans fats were outlawed
across the country in 2018 chipotle's queso welcome to chipotle thank you for your bravery
chipotle is a fast casual mexican restaurant chain that first opened in 1993 in denver
colorado the chain now has over 2 200 outlets in the united states canada and the united kingdom
chipotle is considered to be the first fast casual chain to focus on actual fresh ingredients and
the quality of food as well as hiring qualified chefs to oversee the cooking process chipotle has
labored to make the perfect queso over the years without great results chipotle rolled out queso
across the country in september 2017 to pretty terrible reviews from loyal chipotle fans can't
taste my freaking tongue k made with aged cheddar tomatillos tomatoes and a variety of peppers
this yellow queso saw negative reviews comparing it to broccoli and cheddar soup as opposed to
actual queso it released a new version a few months later but the business continued to work on
making an even better version that would finally be accepted by the vast majority of cheese lovers
monterey jack and white cheddar cheese as well as serrano poblano and chipotle peppers are included
in the newest variation of the cheese dip a w's one-third pound burger hamburgers the cornerstone
of any nutritious breakfast it was in 1972 that a mickey d's franchisee debuted a renowned burger
and ever since americans have enjoyed mcdonald's quarter pounder in the 1980s a w introduced a
third pound burger an attempt to capitalize on the success of the quarter pounder and create some
competition for ronald and his pals consumers got more bang for their buck with a larger a w burger
it was the exact same price as the quarter pounder but it came with extra meat in blind taste testing
it even outperformed mcdonald's with customers preferring the flavor of a w's burger when it came
to actually purchasing the third pound burgers however most americans weren't a w was perplexed
so they requested further testing in focus groups after speaking with folks who opted for the lesser
quarter pounder over the a w burger it became evident that americans are bad at fractions
take the one from the zero wait many customers ignored the better tasting burger in favor of
one they believed was the better price not realizing that a fourth is really
smaller than a third a and w recalibrated their marketing but the burger was still discontinued
burger king's halloween whopper you had to take me to such a dump burger king was booked up
a fast food outlet serving halloween themed meals sounds like a no-brainer who wouldn't
want to sample a halloween-themed burger from burger king and savor every moment of
the spookiest season while the halloween whopper from burger king was an eagerly anticipated dish
the buzz around the meal didn't last long a flamed grilled beef burger with american cheese
was topped with lettuce tomatoes pickles onions mayonnaise and a1 sauce the colorful black bun was
said to add to the overall taste was it delicious perhaps it was but there were a couple of issues
the first was that eager tasters had a hard time obtaining the burger at all since eateries were
completely sold out then guests who got to try the 499 meal rapidly discovered a disgusting
side effect from the burger which eventually led to its demise that would be issue number
two literally prepare yourself to be offended disgusted and horrified colorful bk burger
bms that had some people freaking out mcdonald's mcrap welcome to mcdonald's may i take your order
mcdonald's customers don't like it when the beloved chain alters its menu items
they demand to know why some items such as the big breakfast have been eliminated and the current
news about the end of mcraps has the mickey d's fan base fuming opinions to the adjustment
are mixed but many are sad that one of the chain's healthier alternatives has been removed
analysts cited the increased popularity of all-day breakfast and the time-consuming prep necessary to
produce the roll-ups as reasons why the mcraps have been vanishing off menus but a recent
study sheds light on an altogether other factor millennials the underlying reason why both big
and snack seismic wraps are being phased out at sites across the country is the target group that
so many businesses want to attract the wraps were built with a youthful health-conscious clientele
in mind giving a veggie-heavy lower calorie choice that might compete with subway's popularity but
in the end they didn't sell well better luck next time stick around leave a comment tap or click
