is there a problem i'm just making sure no one ever has to eat this
for every win that you see there are about a million losses hiding behind that success
and in fast food the failures are often decided by the customers so here are 15
of the biggest fast food failures of all time i'm very disappointed in you mcdonald's pizza
pizza time meat mcdonald's pizza the menu item that mcdonald's corporate found out the hard
way just simply does not work mickey d's had good intentions they wanted to serve up pizza
to go along with their famous burgers however this endeavor was not without its complications
first of all pizza requires an oven for baking and every mcdonald's location needed to be fitted with
a special oven that could cook frozen pizza in six minutes so there were all of the renovations
required for that then mcdonald's had another issue with logistics the drive-through not only
could the pizza boxes physically not fit through the drive-through windows but all together the
pizzas took 11 minutes to prep and cook which was way too much time for a drive-through lineup
all in all mcdonald's pizza was a gigantic fail from just about every single angle possible
wendy's super bar thank you dinner tomorrow night that's all you can eat linguini this
one didn't fail because no one liked it in fact it failed because it was so successful you see in the
1980s and 90s wendy's created a self-serve buffet equipped with salads fruit mexican food and pasta
the works and well when you get the works someone has to put in the work to keep it going there lay
the issue with wendy's super bar the fact that it was not super self-sufficient at 299 per person or
about five dollars and 40 cents in today's dollars due to inflation the buffet was so successful that
wendy's staff couldn't keep on top of their normal orders and the upkeep of the super bar
the super bar was retired officially in 1998 although some wendy's locations still had the
super bar going all the way until 2006. mcdonald's fish mcbites fish for sport only not for meat meat
fish mcbites consisting of exactly what it sounds like these fried bits of fish that mcdonald's
offered for a period of time were bite-sized portions meant to be enjoyed on your own or shared
with others available in three sizes you could get these poppable fish mcbites in a 10-piece 15-piece
or the shareable size with 30 pieces despite being intended to be short-lived on the menu
they were marketed during the catholic period of lent the fish mcbites proved even less successful
than mcdonald's corporate anticipated yikes that's a recipe for disappointment they were the first
new addition to the happy meal menu in 10 years which actually had a lot to do with their downfall
one of the main reasons for the fish mcbite failure is the fact that they marketed the
bites to children kids aren't exactly the biggest fans of fish and so mcdonald's completely missed
the mark with their advertising leading to a grand fail dq breeze like blizzards and stuff
you betcha dairy queen is known for being an ice cream spot and they are famous for their blizzards
well in an attempt to offer an alternative to the gravity-defying ice cream treat dq created the
breeze in 1990 a frozen yogurt treat hey everyone wanna go get frozen yogurt while the breeze was
kept on the menu for a decade it was eventually removed due to poor sales dq was trying to
provide a healthier option to its usual ice cream offerings but the customers politely said no thank
you consumers wanted nothing to do with the breeze and so dairy queen listened to their customers
removing the breeze from the menu like a swift gust of wind domino's oreo dessert pizza mother
oreo smoothie now some things are better in siri than in practice and domino's oreo dessert pizza
is definitely one of those things we can picture the team at corporate brainstorming this idea and
feeling like absolute kings only to actually put out the product and feel kinda like total fools
oops supposedly this dessert was so sweet so chewy and just all around so extra that it almost got
booted from the menu as quickly as it arrived the giant dessert pizza had a cookie crust topped with
oreo bits all over with an incredibly sweet and not to mention sticky vanilla syrup sounds like a
recipe for awesomeness well reviews claimed that it was actually a recipe for culinary disaster
and it would appear as though dominoes listened to their customers cries because they removed
the oreo dessert pizza from the menu all together burger king's veal parmigiana i am a vegetarian
except for veal introduced in 1980 animal rights groups jumped on burger king's veal parmigiana and
didn't let it go until bk did word was that the treatment of the animals burger king was using for
this new menu item was deemed inhumane pes animal welfare groups kept on bk until they eventually
removed the item from the menu there was even an active boycott of the controversial sandwich
organized but bk didn't want to admit that they had conceded to the protests they claimed to pull
the product due to poor sales sure bk whatever you say mick dlt i make dlt no i already told
you they don't make those anymore mcdonald's and environmentalism don't exactly go hand in hand the
mcdlt was the epitome of this issue the hamburgers concept was largely focused around its packaging
the hot portion of the burger and the cold portion of the burger were separated by styrofoam
packaging game changer the mcdlt was simple just a hamburger lettuce tomato and mayo and customers
had the job of assembling the burger well a heavy backlash had already been taking place at
mcdonald's regarding the amount of packaging the company used resulting in the restaurant's need to
listen to the protests and eventually remove the mcdlt from the menu completely in 1990. pizza hut
bigfoot pizza long long long long long the bigfoot pizza from pizza hut was so 90s they even had a
blockbuster promotion the pizza was an impressive 12 inches by 24 inches or in other words two
square feet so it could feed large groups and was perfect for parties cut into 21 pieces this pizza
was actually one of the more popular items on the pizza hut menu for under 11 bucks you could select
up to three toppings so it was definitely a good deal shut up and take my money the hutt paired
the pizza with all sorts of promotions throughout the 1990s including offering a free trial of hbo
free theme park admission free blockbuster video rentals and the list goes on but it would appear
as though pizza hut wouldn't really need the promotions as the bigfoot pizza was such a hit on
its own thing is pizza hut still pulled the menu item and we don't know why so that's an automatic
fail on the company's part how can you discontinue a highly sought after product it's still in demand
to this day taco bell double xl chalupa one double xl one kids xl taco bell already sinks outside the
box but sometimes when it goes even further say outside of the bun it loses the mark altogether
and this was the case in 2010 when taco bell introduced the double xl chalupa to the world
only to remove it from the menu months after its launch how sad is that the double xl chalupa was
said to have 57 more ingredients than the original chalupa which was the main appeal
but when it came down to it customers felt as though this supposedly extra large chalupa didn't
really provide the extra ingredients promised in its name after the double xl chalupa rode off
into the sunset taco bell tried to reintroduce the same item to the menu this time calling it
the double but no dice customers didn't take to it and taco bell had to retreat in defeat
pizza hut taco pizza what's this pea hut oh pizza hut the taco pizza was introduced at pizza hut in
the 1970s and was enjoyed throughout the 1980s sink original pizza crust with some deliciously
seasoned ground beef taco sauce and a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese delicious not to
mention the lettuce and tomatoes that were added on top after the pizza had been cooked said to be
a symphony of both italian and mexican cuisines the taco pizza actually did a pretty good job
at both looking the part and tasting the part the main problem was that most people wanted to do the
tasting once and then go back to their regularly scheduled pizza programming the taco pizza ended
up being more of a gimmick than a staple on the menu and eventually pizza hut said adios to the
whole thing the mcdonald's mcrib omg the macrib is back the mcrib has been on the mcdonald's menu
more times than you've been told that the ice cream machine is broken this barbecue flavored
pork sandwich made of pork shoulder meat was made to look like a tiny rack of ribs with onions and
pickles on top of this boneless barbecue sauce slathered pork patty on a submarine roll some
people were in love but the thing is in order for an item to stay on the menu and remain a regular
a lot of people have to like it not just some introduced in 1981 and removed four years later
the mcrib then came back only to depart from most countries again in 2005. the thing is no one puts
the mcrib in a corner from 2006 to 2018 the mcrib has made on and off appearances on the menu in
select markets really it's a roller coaster ride with this one long john silver's big catch meal
you like seafood do you god you know when someone says this is going to change the game
chances are they may just come up short take long john silver's big catch meal as an example an
incredibly large 7.5 ounce filet of haddock served with onion rings and a side of hush puppies mmm
sounds pretty good well apparently this meal was so good it was shockingly unhealthy exceeding
health content guidelines by astronomical numbers actually dubbed the worst restaurant
meal in america the big catch meal was cooked in hydrogenated oil that the company eventually had
to concede they would change for a healthier one it's for the best while long john silvers
introduced this meal in may 2013 by august of the same year it was no longer an option on the menu
and with a claim to fame like the worst restaurant meal in america can we really blame them burger
king's halloween whopper jeez you had to take me to such a dump burger king was booked up
halloween is supposed to be scary except maybe not for this reason burger king decided to get
creative for the 2015 halloween season with the halloween whopper the scary version of the whopper
was served on a black bun and enclosed in a mummy style wrapper to give it that spooky feel but we
fear that the main thing people had to be afraid of with the halloween whopper was the aftermath
because this bk creation left customers a little perplexed after a trip to the bathroom
apparently the black buns had the ability to turn your poop neon green what the buns had
some a1 steak sauce added into the mix to bring about the black color but apparently
that wasn't enough to convince experts as to why customers waist turned the same color as flubber
it was concluded that bk was obviously using a concentrated version of the a1 steak sauce
in their buns either way a scary sight indeed wendy's frescata deli sandwich let me handle this
uh scoozy baba the booby to put it frankly wendy's didn't really succeed with this venture in 2006
wendy's introduced a line of deli sandwiches called frescata there was the frescata club
the chunky chicken salad frescata the black forest ham and swiss sandwich and the roasted turkey with
pesto and swiss sandwich all were offered on artisanal bread since frescata means fresh
wendy's took this to heart and prepared everything right then and there except this led to long
lineups due to the amount of time it took to prepare a sandwich geez look at this line so while
the frescata deli sandwiches were supposed to provide a healthier option for wendy's customers
it turns out they didn't really want that option in the end and the whole line of frescata deli
sandwiches were discontinued from the menu mcdonald's hula burger it's like a hula hoop
right the hula burger was created around the same time as the filet of fish as an answer for
american catholics who were not eating meat on fridays this meatless burger was introduced at
mickey d's in the 1960s and it was quickly removed from the menu since in the end the filet of fish
proved superior with customers the hula burger was a slice of grilled pineapple with cheese on a bun
that doesn't sound right mcdonald's could tell that this one was going to be a non-starter
pretty fast and so they quickly discontinued the burger perhaps if they had accompanied it with a
complimentary hula hoop people would have been more ensuesed about eating a grilled piece of
pineapple on a bun not bad not bad we're serving up more great videos just tap or click hit that
