how about hawaiian pizza with spaghetti on top fast food die hards are always excited when their
favorite franchise decides to introduce a new item and for a glimpse at just how wrong some attempts
at fast food innovation have gone here are 10 of the worst fast food items of the last century
this is something like my three-year-old would do let's put spaghetti on top of the pizza taco
bell's seafood salad eric he starts crying in taco bell taco bell is often celebrated for the
variety of its menu for this reason the choice of the franchise to cut their menu in half a few
years back was an absolute outrage for longtime fans while taco bell has reversed their course
and kept variety as one of their main staples the idea of providing a massive spread has not
always worked out well for them the best example of overstepping their abilities and becoming a
bit too ambitious the infamous taco bell seafood salad while seafood is not completely outside of
the norm when it comes to fast food restaurants with the few franchises even specializing in it
it's rare that these items are presented as a star item on a mexican-themed franchise's menu
the taco bell seafood salad aimed to be just that in the 1980s when it tried to become
a new signature item for the franchise however this concoction was immediately panned as being
disgusting and often poorly prepared big mistake big huge that being said it's hard not to respect
taco bell for trying to be more ambitious than its competitors with their first major seafood centric
item wendy's super bar wendy's new superbar create your own meal although some franchises
in the fast food game have occasionally offered all-you-can-eat or bulk options it has remained
very rare the price disadvantage is not the only reason for this and the famous wendy's super bar
is one of the best examples of why franchises have tried to avoid this practice despite being
known more for square burgers than buffet cuisine the super bar was able to stay around for much
much longer than most other items on this list in fact from the late 80s to the late 90s the super
bar was a common sight at many wendy's locations put aside your preconceptions of what a wendy's
superbar layout might have been from mexican food to salad to pasta the variety available was
impressive i love it it is simply awesome while quite popular wendy's crew often had an incredibly
hard time keeping the bar clean and well stopped which led to many disappointing visits for wendy's
customers as the restaurant entered into the new millennium they decided to cut the super bar from
wendy's outlets and instead focused on making their signature fast food items as delicious
as possible taco bell's mountain dew a.m let's go crazy i'll have an orange juice for those
familiar with taco bell's history they will know how tight taco bell and mountain dew have become
over the years many popular mountain dew items have premiered on the taco bell menu and have
managed to make both companies a massive amount of money after all the original limited time run for
baja blast began nearly 20 years ago and the drink has rarely been absent from taco bell's menu since
alongside the popular baja blast concoction other food and drink items have propelled taco bell and
mountain dew flavors to great success and acclaim with the track record the corporate combo wielded
it's difficult to imagine them putting out a miss as big as this one unfortunately however not every
combo from the two major companies has been a hit the most egregious example of this mountain dew
am made by blending mountain dew and orange juice is that good it sounds bad the odd consistency
weird mixture of tastes and unappetizing look of the drink quickly turned audiences off
even those brave enough to actually try out this strange concoction including die hard mountain dew
fans found the stuff nearly undrinkable surprising or not mountain dew am became one of the shortest
lived limited run items to ever grace taco bell's menu subways seafood sensation sub
you like seafood do you when talking about seafood focused fast food items at
non seafood centric fast food joints you can still get worse than taco bell's seafood salad
while the taco bell item is still well known for the wrong reasons at least it had actual
seafood packed into it that's right it's not only the bread at subway that's been controversially
labeled the lack of actual seafood in the sandwich has made the already yuck-filled item
that much more stomach-churning especially for consumers who had no idea what they were
getting into when they ordered one of subway's seafood sensation subs so you have chosen death
the seafood sensation sub not only sounded unappealing but the visual look of the item was
absolutely atrocious despite the lack of demand for the item and the often horrible reviews for
the sandwich specialty the item has remained on subway's menu for quite a long time if
you have a sensitive stomach be sure to avoid the subway seafood sensation or you may find yourself
experiencing sensations that you'd rather avoid altogether if you're looking for a solid seafood
sandwich from a fast food location you're much better off going along john silver's or even
mcdonald's before braving this notoriously hideous and sketchy sandwich mcdonald's hula burger
it's like a hula hoop right when you think of mcdonald's you think about the classics
hamburgers fries maybe chicken nuggets and a soda are about as far as you're likely to go
unless you're in the mood for some of mcdonald's signature frozen treats that is but what most
people don't know is that with mcdonald's long history of fast food creations there have been
some majorly weird duds in the mix one of the most memorable and strange the short-lived and
absolutely reviled mcdonald's hula burger the idea started fairly simple and innocently as
a tasty vegetarian alternative to the meat-packed traditional mcdonald's burger however the choice
to use a grilled slice of pineapple as the meat substitute put off of many fast food fans
it's too much it's too much along with the pineapple you simply got a bun and a slice
of cheese the item came out around the same time that the filet of fish was being launched and the
franchise even crafted a sort of contest between the two sandwiches to determine their popularity
the filet of fish won with ease and remains a popular item on mcdonald's menus to this day
jack in the boxes springs look mr frank one of the oldest items on this list the retro experimental
side item frings were infamous when they appeared on the scene in 1979 a combination of onion rings
and french fries that were served in the same package the combo likely is not making anybody's
yuck radar go off immediately however customers at the time were adamant that the combo item not only
significantly lacked the flavor and quality of the two items when they were made separate but that
nasty aftertaste often followed consumption of them together can't taste my freaking tongue k
it did not take long for jack in the box to realize what a massive mistake they had made
and shortly after they were introduced in 1979 the jack-in-the-box springs were discontinued in the
early 1980s that being said other restaurants with burger king being especially notable have released
their own version of the frings offering over the last few decades maybe one day jack in the
box will throw their hat in the fring ring again but until then don't expect to be able to order
the item at any location nearby you burger king satisfies are you satisfied there was a massive
effort by many of the top fast food franchises in the early 2010s to appeal to health-conscious
consumers from leaner meat to more vegetarian options many of these items proved lackluster in
terms of both sales and creativity one of the most memorable of these items has to be burger king's
strangely concocted satisfies while certainly creatively named the actual content of the item
was much less appealing they were simply a new crinkle cut style fry that sported 40 percent
less fat and 30 percent fewer calories than their go-to bk fry counterpart i'm gonna use
low-fat ingredients game changer as burger king and many other fast food franchises
soon found out however most fast food customers simply could care less about saving a few calories
after all when you're going for a greasy delicious and calorie overloaded fast food run you've likely
accepted that you're not making the healthiest choice to make matters worse the satisfries were
infamous for tasting bland and for having a nasty texture due to the item bombing in the first few
months of its release it quickly disappeared from burger king's menu nowadays burger king
sticks to more traditional sure-fire health and veggie-friendly choices and has even managed to
become one of the most popular fast food chains among vegetarian customers if you like substitute
meat on your sandwiches a few other fast food chains can accommodate you as well as burger
king can mcdonald's spaghetti spaghetti angel i'm making a spaghetti angel while it may not seem as
strange and inconceivable as the hula burger mcdonald's spaghetti has remained a known dud
at least stateside it still has occasional success overseas it's odd to imagine that it would be such
a surefire mess after all americans love spaghetti add to this equation the ease of making spaghetti
and you would assume that this item would have remained popular enough to become a staple at
mcdonald's to this very day unfortunately for both mcdonald's and pasta lovers the spaghetti
at the golden arches proved to be frequently undercooked bland and just overall disappointing
even the spaghetti sauce was known for being gross which makes you wonder how such a cash-heavy
franchise could fail to deliver on such a simple food item after all even cheaper spaghetti sauces
at local supermarkets are known for being one of the best budget-friendly foods out there who knows
though maybe mcdonald's will take a more serious successful shot at a pasta item stateside sometime
soon there would be a ton of interest in the item if it was done right indeed indeed nowadays the
philippines is the premier location for mcdonald's spaghetti and the item remains one of the most
demanded menu choices in the country jack in the boxes bacon shake milkshake yes a milkshake the
year was 2012 and conspiracy theories about the end of the world were abound thankfully we are all
still here less thankfully we were introduced to one of the worst fast food items of all time the
jack-in-the-box bacon shake that's right bacon in a shake what while the mixture of creamy
desserts and more hearty meaty ingredients are not unheard of you typically want to go to a high-end
place when seeking out such strange volatile food combinations skeptics were proven right after the
bacon shake was unleashed on the world as critics and normal jack-in-the-box fans alike were quick
to denounce the shake as one of the worst they had ever consumed what made matters worse was just how
unhealthy and heavy the shake ended up being with a mere 16 ounce serving coming in at a whopping
773 calories not to mention the tummy ache that many consumers reported after braving
the notoriously greasy odd tasting milkshake thankfully the item was discontinued quickly
after it first launched back in 2012. since then it's remained as one of the most talked
about discontinued fast food items in history domino's hawaiian spaghetti pizza 10 margarita
and no pineapple anywhere domino's is among the biggest fast food chains out there pre-2010 it was
often considered one of the consistently lower quality chains amongst its competitors however
after major menu changes and ingredient supplier shifts domino's has seen a pretty major comeback
since 2010. with the combination of better ingredients and excellently valued combo meals
many fast food fans have begun visiting dominoes more frequently although domino's
has corrected course it's remained fairly basic in terms of its offerings regarding both entrees
and topping choices that being said one briefly offered specialty pizza made people quickly
recall the days when domino's was considered to be a sketchy food choice what item nearly
reversed all of the hard work and repairing their reputation the domino's hawaiian spaghetti pizza
why the odd mixture of onions ham spaghetti and pineapple created a weird combination of
flavors although it was not well received it didn't receive quite as much press when it was
first released compared to the other items on our list of the top 10 worst fast food items
of the last century good for them looking for more just tap or click another video hit that
