this is bizarre would we ever do this people are curious by nature and fast food chains know this
but sometimes things go a bit too far here are 10 bizarre fast food items that were discontinued
hula burger mcdonald's really pineapple yeah back in the 1960s then president of mcdonald's ray kroc
was determined to find a meat-free alternative to hamburgers that christian americans could
eat while they were fasting during the 40 days of lent he and the owner of a cincinnati mcdonald's
franchise lou growing each came up with an idea growing came up with the filleto fish and
ray crock came up with the hula burger as we all know the filet of fish is a fried fish patty with
tartar sauce and american cheese on a regular bun the hula burger on the other hand was a grilled
slice of pineapple with a piece of cheese between a bun why was it called the hula burger you ask
the hula is a famous hawaiian dance and hawaii is also renowned for pineapples ray kroc thought the
idea of the filet of fish was disgusting and was convinced that cooking fish would stink up the
restaurants and repel customers he was sure that his hula burger would be a big success
needless to say he was wrong the filet of fish was an instant success and the hula
burger was relegated to the trash can of history buffalo latte tim hortons small latte for you
sometimes sweet savory combinations are heavenly so putting them together can be incredibly
satisfying to the taste buds and brain some of the best examples are chicken and waffles pretzels
and chocolate or bacon and maple syrup but that doesn't mean you can just put anything sweet with
anything salty some combinations just don't work at all back in 2007 tim hortons came up with the
buffalo latte unlike how it might sound the buffalo latte is not a regular latte made
with buffalo milk it's a regular latte with buffalo sauce and what is buffalo sauce again
buffalo sauce consists typically of hot barbecue sauce and is often paired quite successfully
with chicken wings buffalo wings good but a chicken inspired sauce on a frothy latte
how did tim hortons come up with that idea i need to know that tim horton's administration
noticed that both buffalo wings and tim hortons were created in 1964. somehow this meaningless
coincidence compelled them to combine tim horton's coffee with buffalo sauce it's hard to understand
how they thought that this made sense we know that the buffalo latte was only released on a
trial basis in buffalo new york to go nationwide only if it became a success it was not and the
buffalo latte was erased from the menu 100 by 100 burger in and out how about lunch at the in-n-out
burger it's an open secret that in-n-out offers customizable burgers to its customers one of the
most popular customizable burgers is the multiple burger patty and cheese within a single bun order
so this means you can have several patties and cheese slices within a single bun it used to be
that there was no limit to the number of patties and cheese you could order that is until some
drunken dude stumbled into his local in-n-out with his friends and ordered a burger with 100 beef
patties and 100 cheese slices in one bun that's crazy we can't do that of course this crazy order
was photographed and became a viral sensation online but ultimately in and out faced some
criticism over their actions and was pressured to put their foot down after this incident in and out
set a limit of four beef patties and four cheese slices per hamburger pizza bun cinnabon tell me
all about it over cinnamon what do you get if you mix a fresh cinnabon cinnamon roll with a pizza
you get a strange creature called the pizza bon of course it may not sound like it but
the pizza bond was a real menu item invented by cinnabon back in 2012. the name already had
people scratching their heads which usually isn't a good start but sometimes words don't matter when
something tastes great so how did the pizza bond taste the pizza bond tasted like any other pizza
but on cinnamon roll dough so no surprise in that department i'm not surprised but is that good or
bad most reviewers agreed that the pizza bond was flavorful enough on the other hand if you're
at the local mall with a variety of established pizza outlets to choose from like sabaro dominoes
or little caesars why the heck would you choose a cinnabon pizza-like hybrid rather than the real
deal after all cinnabon is famous for its sweeter than sweet frosted cinnamon rolls not for italian
inspired food in the end it seems like cinnabon learned their mistake and ultimately discontinued
the pizza bond onion nuggets mcdonald's oh but careful there's a ton of onions in them who
doesn't love chicken nuggets they are so tasty and satisfying but what few people know is that
the origins of mcdonald's chicken mcnuggets comes from a now long discontinued item on
the mcd's menu called onion nuggets it may sound like a joke but it's not back in the 1970s onion
nuggets were created by mcdonald's as part of an effort to provide more meat-free options to
the growing number of vegetarians in the u.s it sounded like a good idea i agree with you
but the chairman of mcdonald's at the time fred turner decided to make a change he wanted to make
a big push towards a chicken-based version of the same nugget recipe many were skeptical at first
but as everyone knows the chicken mcnugget became an instant hit in the u.s and sales soared today
mcdonald's chicken mcnuggets are almost as famous as the big mac and what happened to onion nuggets
which were the origins of the whole idea they were abandoned and eventually almost forgotten
taco bell seafood salad never ever order seafood in this town we don't usually associate taco bell
with seafood so how did taco bell come up with this idea no one seems sure but what we do know is
that many fast food chains have tried to enter the tex-mex arena it's the same story over and over
again some burger chain wants to get in on the growing demand for tex-mex food they try to enter
the market with their own version of tex-mex and fail this includes giants like burger king with
the disastrous whopperito and mcdonald's version of fajitas but what few people know is that back
in the 1980s tex-mex giant taco bell fell into the same trap themselves when they became jealous
of the success of fish inspired fast food items at chains like mcdonald's oh no their response
was to release their own seafood salad containing crab fish and shrimp inside a tortilla bowl taco
bell was convinced it would become a massive hit with customers who like to think of themselves as
adventurous they were wrong so very wrong as you probably already guessed the seafood salad did
not sell very well but that was only the start of it shortly after its release many people started
complaining the taco bell dish gave them severe food poisoning what an epic fail from the king
of tacos mick dlt mcdonald's anything relating to mcdonald's is within our purview
tomato and lettuce make for great burger toppings but wouldn't it be better if they remained cold
and fresh while your burger patty and bun remained warm and inviting most would agree that this is
sound logic but mcdonald's solution to this issue in the 1980s was rather strange and confusing they
came up with something called the mcdlt that kept the burger and bun in a separate styrofoam
compartment from the fresh tomato and lettuce so that people could put the burger together
themselves that's new but of course this idea required additional styrofoam packaging which
was more damaging to the environment by the 1990s mcdonald's faced severe pressure to stop producing
the mcdlt and decided to discontinue it this was a good idea but just bad execution nacho box
kfc how'd you guys like those nachos what is kentucky fried chicken known for across the world
of course it's known for finger licking fried chicken made with a top secret recipe that
includes 11 herbs and spices what isn't kfc known for on the other hand a lot of things among these
is mexican food and tex-mex but back in 2014 kfc in australia decided to give this popular
food category a shot enter the nacho box the nacho box has three main components the first and most
essential is popcorn chicken which is bite-sized pieces of breaded and fried chicken for those
of you who don't know sounds normal enough right well here comes the weird tex-mex part i'm ready
the popcorn chicken is combined with cheese salsa and tortilla chips no one seems to know who came
up with this odd recipe but it seems that the moment the nacho box was released in australia
people started criticizing it why the first reason is that many customers said the cheese in the
nacho box was literally rotten and disgusting kfc apologized for this mistake publicly and promised
they would fix it overall there were more than 7 000 complaints on facebook about the nacho box
and online food reviewers went to town making fun of it one publication even referred to the nacho
box as potentially being kfc's biggest food fail ever ouch now that must hurt mick africa
did you not see the mcdonald's in 2002 12 million people in southern africa were on the
brink of starvation as the region was hit with one of the worst famines in decades due to bad
harvests and natural disasters the who and the u.n rushed to help the families bearing the brunt of
this disaster so what does mcdonald's decide to do during this difficult time they decided to release
a new sandwich called the mick africa yes you heard that right the mick africa the mick africa
was a regular mcdonald's burger wrapped in pita bread and allegedly inspired by an african recipe
while the burger sounds good the optics are bad but to make matters worse the burger was
released in norway which remains one of the top 10 wealthiest countries in the world how insensitive
can you get it's so bizarre the timing of releasing the mcafrica was seen as cold and became
a public image disaster for mcdonald's doing some damage control mcdees apologized for their mistake
initially they said they would consider giving some of the profits generated from selling the
mick africa to famine relief funds but ultimately all they did was allow aid organizations to leave
donation boxes for the famine victims at outlets in norway for a short period of time so all in all
the mick africa was a complete disaster sicilian lasagna pizza pizza hut pasta lasagna meatballs
wherever in the last decade or so many pizza chains have experimented with different takes on
this beloved dish that tests the limits of what makes a pizza a pizza today there are stuffed
pizzas flatbread pizzas cheeseburger pizzas chicken taco pizzas and even dessert pizzas
the list goes on and on and it seems like no new pizza idea could surprise us but back in 2006
pizza hut did just that they released something called the sicilian lasagna pizza the name itself
is puzzling is it a blissful combination of two of the most loved italian foods or is
it a nightmarish abomination that will make you turn against pizza hut forever it depends on who
you ask you talking to me on the most basic level the sicilian lasagna pizza is a rectangular pizza
with marinara sauce beef and both ricotta and parmesan cheese somehow pizza hut was convinced
that the shape of the pizza and the regatta cheese would evoke lasagna vibes that didn't happen and
there were also two other problems with it first it did not taste like either a pizza
or lasagna second it was more expensive than a regular pizza so why choose it over the other menu
items at pizza hut overall most people weren't that crazy about the sicilian lasagna pizza
and pizza hut stopped making the pizza shortly after it was released order up more great videos
