Fast food joints do their best to get us in the door. Sometimes they need to be over the
top to get us to notice them. And sometimes these outrageous items somehow make their
way into becoming fan favorites. It takes quite a bit of creativity and also a little
stupidity to come up with the concoctions on our list. If you're the adventurous type,
let’s take a bite out of the top 10 strange but popular fast food items Part 2.
Sauced & Loaded Chorizo Fries by Jack in the Box
It almost seems that Jack in the Box is telegraphing who the perfect customer for this item is.
Both sauced and loaded are terms often associated with being drunk. You don't need to be three
sheets to the wind to enjoy this delicious menu item. Though, fast food does seem to
cater to those who are at the very least mildly impaired. All of the greasy, heavy food seems
to sit pretty well in your stomach if you've been knocking back drinks. No one is going
to deny that this beast will sit nicely in your belly if it's full of beer. The Sauced
& Loaded Chorizo Fries is a french fry lover's dream come true. They come with melted cheese,
guacamole, and chorizo sausage. The chorizo and guacamole offer up Mexican flavors that
are all the rage right now. Everyone is putting guacamole on everything these days, and fries
are the next logical thing. You will need either a fork or a few extra napkins while
eating these fries. They can be kind of messy, but that's always a good thing. Don't even
try to eat these while driving down the road unless you want to wear them on your shirt.
Bacon, Macaroni And Cheese Toastie from McDonald's China
Why aren't there more noodles in sandwiches? Some smart person in China was thinking the
same thing. That's when they came up with the Bacon, Macaroni And Cheese Toastie. That
person probably wasn't counting their carbs. It takes a certain amount of reckless abandon
to throw a handful of noodles on a sandwich. It sounds like something a college kid would
come up with in the middle of the night while playing video games. It's what you do when
you have a fistful of mac and cheese without anything else to eat. You throw that cheesy
goodness in between two slices of bread and call it a meal. The Bacon, Macaroni And Cheese
Toastie is a little more advanced than what someone in a college dorm might whip up. It
has macaroni and cheese, bacon, and it's slapped in between two slices of white bread. Who
knew McDonald's had it in them to create such a thing? You know, deep down inside you want
to order this sandwich so bad. It's one of those things that you'd drive thirty miles
to eat so no one could see you order it. We all know how that works. Sometimes having
a dirty little secret like enjoying greasy delights is something no one wants to share.
But we certainly won’t judge.
Wendy's Triple by Wendy's
Who doesn't miss Dave Thomas? Anyone alive during his heyday has to think back to his
commercials with fondness. No one embodied fast food the way he did. Also, no one can
deny that he created some of the tastiest burgers ever. The menu he created has lived
on and thrived for many years after his passing. That in itself talks about his genius and
attention to quality. The same sandwiches he created are the ones people today know
and love. You can't enjoy a Frosty without paying homage to the man who made it all possible.
A man who dedicated his life to making sure everyone could eat the best tasting fast food
money can buy. Now, let's talk about Wendy's Triple. The Classic Single is a sandwich that
needs no introduction to Wendy's fans. You know that it's a quarter pound of fresh never
frozen hamburger. You may not know what the Triple is, but you're never going to forget
it after hearing this. The Triple is three of the Classic Single meat patties stacked
on top of each other. The Classic Single is a quarter pound of fresh beef, and the Triple
stacks three of those suckers up to create a meat skyscraper. If that sounds like a lot
of meat, it's because it is. If you love the Classic Single, then someday you need to give
this a try.
Cookie Dough Chicken Tenders by Popeye's
Can fried chicken be strange? We've got a few on our list that will challenge what everyone
thinks of fried chicken. Popeye's is a restaurant known for spice. If you love your food to
have a kick to it, then Popeye's is the place to go. They have some stuff that's so hot
it can bring even a chilli head to their knees. The average person doesn't know what kind
of inferno they're in for if they take a bite out of the wrong item. No matter what your
level of comfort is when it comes to spice, Popeye's delivers it and then some. It's
hard to imagine that a place that dishes out so much spice would even consider making something
like their Cookie Dough Chicken Tenders. It was an item on their menu a few years ago
that had a small, but cult following. What exactly was their Cookie Dough Chicken Tenders?
It was chicken fingers dipped in a cookie dough batter then deep fried. So, it was salty,
greasy, and sweet. It's the ultimate combination for those who love chicken and waffles. It's
not surprising that a fast food joint known for levels of heat out of this world pulled
this sweet item off of the menu.
Taco Salad by Taco Bell
What words do you usually think of when salad comes to mind? There’s a variety of different
possible answers to that, but we’re gonna guess that “Taco Bell” is not one of them.
Leave it to the world of fast food to take something as healthy as a salad and turn it
into an artery clogging nightmare. That doesn't mean the Taco Salad at Taco Bell doesn't taste
good. Taco Bell is no different than any other fast food restaurant in that everything they
make tastes good. You can order anything off of the menu and rest assured that it'll leave
your taste buds satisfied. One Taco Bell Taco Salad has 740 calories. All of that cheese,
refried beans, and meat ads up quick. Let's not forget that the edible bowl is a deep-fried
flour tortilla. The words deep fried are rarely used to describe anything in a salad. It does
if you're getting a salad at Taco Bell.
KFC Famous Bowl by KFC USA
No one needs to be told why KFC is world-famous. You may think that KFC is a local treat, but
the famous chicken house has gone global. Now people are licking their fingers all over
the world after eating the Colonel’s famous fried chicken. Everyone who eats at KFC always
goes there for the same things. You go there for the fried chicken and mashed potatoes.
You may be surprised to learn that KFC doesn't offer the mashed potatoes and gravy in many
locations around the planet. If you're one of the lucky people who live in an area where
you can savor the goodness of their gravy, then you should feel fortunate. Imagine if
there was an easier way to get your fried chicken, mashed potato, and gravy fix. Could
it be possible to fit all of that on the same spork? It is if you're eating KFC's Famous
Bowl. It has fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, and cheese. You don't have to
worry about bones since the chicken is boneless. You also don't have to worry about greasy
fingers since everything can be eaten using one of KFC's well-known sporks. Why did it
take them so long to come up with something so delicious as this? They've had the ingredients
for what feels like an eternity. You know what they say, better late than never.
Lobster Rolls by McDonald's USA
If you live in New England, then you already know about McDonald's lobster rolls. They
come out almost every year during the lobster season. It's hard to believe that the fast-food
giant would even consider stepping foot into this arena. Anyone who has ever been in New
England knows there are more than enough places serving up lobster rolls. Somehow McDonald's
can dish out this seafood on a roll like the best joints in town. By the way, don't call
it a bun. In New England, it's called a roll, and buns are those things you sit on. The
lobster roll at McDonald's is pretty straight-forward as it is commonly served throughout the region.
The lobster meat is mixed with butter and mayonnaise. It is then added to the roll with
a little lettuce. That's it. If you don't mind the sad thought of those little red creatures
dancing in a pot of hot water, then go and get yourself one of these sandwiches during
lobster season. You will only find them in New England, and that's as good of an excuse
as any to visit this beautiful part of America.
Chizza by KFC Asia
Have you ever been in a position where you wanted both fried chicken and pizza? You know
what those weak moments are like. You go back and forth in your mind with the pros and cons
of ordering each of the items. It usually happens when you're watching Netflix and have
a severe case of the munchies. You need something that's packed with the kind of flavor that
will set your taste buds right. The problem is, you can't decide between pizza or fried
chicken. If this has happened to you, then you know what it feels like to have a nervous
breakdown. A downward spiral is what happens when someone is forced to decide between bready
cheesy goodness and fried, greasy delight. The good folks over at KFC Asia have made life
easier for those who have the munchies for both fried chicken and pizza. They whipped
up something called a Chizza, and it's pizza with a crust made out of fried chicken. You're
probably up dancing right this very moment. How can such a wonderful thing be kept a secret
from the rest of the world? The Chizza is a pizza with a fried chicken crust, tomato
sauce, cheese sauce, ham, and chunks of pineapple. If the pineapple is too weird for you, ask
them to take it off. They'll be more than happy to make it any way you like it.
Steak and Cheese by Subway USA
What's the first thing that you think of when you're in a Subway restaurant? Is your first
thought about why you're in there? Many people don't choose Subway; instead, Subway chooses
them. You know how this goes, and it's the same thing for everyone. You start out having
a million choices, and none of them seem good. You're super hungry and can't go another step
without getting something in your stomach. You look up and see that the closest place
is a Subway. You have that same sort of painful expression on your face that everyone does.
It's food, and that's why you're in Subway. Not always good food, but it will keep your
heart pumping. The Steak and Cheese at Subway sounds like a good idea at first. Who doesn't
love a steak sub sandwich? The thought of it alone probably brings up romantic thoughts
of eating cheesesteaks in Philadelphia. There is no arguing about what kind of cheese your
sub will have on it at Subway. The only arguing you're going to do is why you ended up in
Subway, to begin with. The so called steak isn't cooked there, and they toss it in the
microwave. Somehow this sandwich has not only stayed on the menu for years but seems to
be a fan favorite. It must have something to do with the cookies.
Frisco Thickburger Hardee' s/Carl's Jr.
Those of you who are true aficionados of Hardee's and Carl's Jr. may remember the Frisco Thickburger
from way back when under the name Frisco Burger. Times sure were simpler back then. You could
save your jaw for chewing and not for saying the additional words required to order this
insanely good sandwich. If you've never eaten a Frisco Thickburger, then you need to prepare
yourself. You're going to feel so wonderfully terrible by the end of the entire thing. Yes,
you're going to feel a little sick. It's the good kind of sick that only a fast food restaurant
can make you feel. A Frisco Thickburger is paradise on sourdough toast. The meat patty
is a whopping quarter pound in weight. It's topped with crisp bacon and Swiss cheese.
Some tomato is added to make you feel like you're eating something that isn't pure grease
and fat. The end product is a sandwich that hits all the right guilty pleasure zones.
Salty, cheesy, greasy, and meaty are all words that come to mind. The Frisco Thickburger
is a must-have if you've never eaten it before. However, you will want to get up and move
around afterwards. This beast is heavy like you've just eaten a half a pound of cement.
