uh well what do you want michael i mean dlt no i already told you they don't make those anymore
mcdonald's is constantly coming out with new and exciting menu items
some are hits and some are not let's check out the misses with 10 discontinued mcdonald's menu items
make pizza it's the best pizza in the neighborhood oh eighth best the mc pizza vanished off
mcdonald's menus in the year 2000 making it sort of an urban legend for anybody under the age of
22. why was it taken off the menu in the first place and why was it so incredibly popular then
mcdonald's was in the midst of an experiment at the time and the mcpizzo was one of their concepts
that lasted if only momentarily problem was that the preparation for a mcpizza lasted roughly 11
minutes what is taking so long i wasted all day this was the key driver in its removal
since it harmed their squeaky clean reputation of quick service they developed their own
patent-pending ovens and had to make costly modifications to their eateries to make room
for them it's likely the mcpizza would still be on the menu if it had been a commercial success
it was probably a case of time versus money you could probably churn out five mcchickens in the
time that it would take to make one mcpizza the great news is that one last franchise in orlando
florida famously reputed as the world's largest mcdonald's still offers the mcpizza but it's
not the samick pizza that most were accustomed to before y2k mighty wings are these chicken wings or
angel wings god i love these things although mcdonald's has had a lot of success with chicken
bone-in goods were still fresh ground in 1990. they took a chance on mighty wings that year the
deep fried hot wings unlike the other goods on this list performed better than predicted
they were originally intended to be a limited edition dish but they were so popular that they
remained on the menus until 2003. a strange cult following prompted short revivals in 2013 and 2016
still to the dismay of many mcdonald's fans mighty wings proved too expensive and intricate to last
it's too expensive i'm done the wings were crispy flavorful and an overall delight to munch on
according to many nostalgic customers nick hot dog my hot dog mccot dogs were originally
introduced as a summer menu item in 1995. at the franchisees discretion a few midwestern locations
offer the american ballpark classic in the summer of 2002 hot dogs were launched as a
seasonal menu item this time in the united kingdom in 2004 the hot dog traveled again
this time to mcdonald's outlets in chile they began offering hot dogs for a limited time only
ray kroc the founder of mcdonald's corporation said in his 1977 autobiography that he forbade
the company from selling hot dogs despite demand as there was no way of knowing what ingredients
lurked inside the sausages amy brought his tainted meat and now i have diarrhea regardless mchot dogs
were offered at a premium hot dogs were first served in tokyo in 2001 and were reintroduced
in 2009. sadly the united states doesn't have any access to mcdonald's hot dogs anymore
and it doesn't look like they'll be reintroduced any time soon mix spaghetti spaghetti angel i'm
making a spaghetti angel mcdonald's success has hidden a lengthy history of abysmal failures
the mixed spaghetti was mcdonald's answer to olive garden's growing popularity the mixed
spaghetti has found relative success overseas particularly in the philippines where mcdonald's
may have originated the concept the original mixed spaghetti originally launched in 1980s america
it didn't gain traction until 1986 when george yang the ceo of mcdonald's philippines told news
sources that he had advocated for the introduction of a meat that would appeal to local consumers
however mcdonald's biggest competitor jollibee describes mixed spaghetti's debut in a slightly
different light they had been providing a pasta with sweet meat sauce and hot dog slices with a
distinct philippine flavor according to local lore mcdonald's picked up on this and began serving
mixed spaghetti and other items aimed towards its target market many food critics have ranted
about mcdonald's version of the meal while they praised the texture of the noodles they deemed
the sauce overly sweet and suggested it could benefit from a pinch of salt just a little bit
i can't stress the littleness of it enough the fried chicken side that accompanies the spaghetti
on the other hand is considered by all to be a hit mixed spaghetti in its current form clearly
caters to the taste of its filipino consumer base and it looks to be doing well however don't
expect to come back in the u.s anytime soon arch deluxe yes it deluxe package in 1996 mcdonald's
launched the archdeluxe a burger with a grown-up flavor marketed towards adults the fast food
behemoth was spearheading a drive to re-brand itself and appealed to a more mature audience
as you may know mcdonald's began its fast food empire as a family-oriented restaurant in the
1950s it's established an image that is mostly connected with children and food goods oriented
towards younger customers throughout time ronald mcdonald the hamburglar grimace and
other business mascots are largely responsible for this ronald mcdonalds never heard of it
the archdeluxe was created and marketed using a marketing campaign that included pictures
of young people scorning the burger for its sophisticated appeal in theory it appeared
to be a home run it was the best technique to even out the company's targeted demographic
and give consumers the impression that mcdonald's caters to adults as well as children's palettes
the problem was that mcdonald's had strayed from its comfort zone since customers didn't come to
its restaurant seeking complexity and refinement mcd's fans weren't interested in being bombarded
with innumerable varieties of a grown-up hamburger they came to mcdonald's in part to recapture a
piece of their childhood if only for a bite-sized moment the archdeluxe was a disaster perceived as
mcdonald's attempt to be something it isn't a gourmet restaurant for food critics fried
apple pies you've never had apple pie there's a decent chance you enjoyed a mcdonald's happy meal
at least a few times if you grew up in america in the 1990s but you aren't imagining things
if you recently visited the golden arches and noticed that the apple pie wasn't quite right
in 2018 mcdonald's updated its apple pie recipe to make it healthier much to our collective disgust
and to be honest the new mcdonald's apple pie isn't exactly a healthy option either this apple
pie differs from the ones you recall from your childhood for a variety of reasons in 1968 the
mcdonald's apple pie made its debut on the fast food chain's menu in all of its deep fried glory
meanwhile the present version of mcdonald's apple pie has been baked it's healthier for you though
still not great because of this many lovers want the original formula back there's no high fructose
corn syrup in mcdonald's current apple pie recipe either and there are no preservatives or
artificial colors don't be deceived though sugar and palm oil still run galore in the baked apple
pie each dish contains 15 grams of sugar and a shocking six grams of saturated fat this dessert
was never gonna win any health prizes so why knock the original beef tallow fries look what i found
french rice mcdonald's used to fry their french fries with beef tallow until 1990. it was a fat
and starch combination honed over years of trial and error then a man called phil sokoloff survived
a near-fatal heart attack his doctor informed him that saturated fat and cholesterol were to blame
so sokolov embarked on a nationwide crusade to rid america's food of fat with mcdonald's
at the top of his target list and he came out on top since the beginning mcdonald's has used beef
tallow to manufacture its fries the incredible delicious crispiness of the mcdonald's fries was
what originally drew crocs attention that was their level of excellence all of that changed
in 1990 phil sokoloff built his fortune selling drywall across the united states he then invested
15 million dollars of his own money on a national scale to attack saturated fat by focusing on the
fast food industry he'd go on tv and lecture folks in the fast food business about the perils of
obesity sokolov's campaign against heart disease encouraged mcdonald's wendy's burger king and
other fast food chains to begin using maize soy or cottonseed oils because those oils are high
in trans fats which are considerably worse than saturated fats this resulted in a slew
of additional issues same same but different but still same critics point out that major
fast food chains designed vegetable oil mixes that eliminated trans fats but generated an exceedingly
unstable cooking oil especially when contrasted to the stability of animal fats chicken selects our
special today is coho salmon sounds disgusting do you have chicken fingers mcdonald's it must
be mentioned is a good choice for comfort food chicken selects for example were a tremendous
hit with mcdonald's consumers when they initially debuted in 2004. whether you love a delectable big
mac or can't get enough of the famous french fries you're bound to have a favorite item you order
anytime you visit a mcdonald's location this is why it's so shocking that one of the restaurant's
most appealing meal selections the chicken selects is no longer available no god in 2013 the fast
food behemoth decided to discontinue the menu item until reintroducing chicken tenders in 2017
renamed buttermilk crispy tenders their comeback was so favorably appreciated that they sold out
virtually as soon as they were released after the introduction of the coronavirus fans were
in for a nasty awakening when the tinders were briefly removed from the menu and this is when
things get a little murky mcdonald's restaurants have yet to get the tenders fans are now concerned
that this decision may be permanent and that the crispy tinders may never return however it's tough
to be certain let's hope for the best and cross our fingers bagels bagel bagel mcdonald's bagels
are known for their succulent fluffiness and hot melt-in-your-mouth crunchiness the chain has put a
lot of effort to advertise its breakfast bagels in north america and the fans are thankful for
it bagels didn't seem to have the same impact overseas though it was a day of mourning when
mcdonald's uk declared on january 24th 2022 would permanently be removed from their breakfast menu
there is no bagel business the decision was made after a trial conjecture period and the business's
passion for the iconic mcmuffin was too hard to ignore according to the corporation mcdonald's
tweeted we want our fans to know that this is a joint agreement to the degree that a bagel
can make its own decision the company also stated that it had no comment on a rumored new breakfast
option coming later this year customers are understandably upset the business is eliminating
some of their favorite breakfast products with many claiming that the news has wrecked their day
big and tasty i'm kind of a big deal people know me mcdonald's is again diversifying its menus
across the world these days customers in india for example can request a spicy veggie based burger
with potatoes and peas called the mekalu tikka the nurnberger is a popular german dish that consists
of three smoked sausages in a bun customers in singapore may try the mcrice burger made with
rice patties instead of bread the brand has also sought to shake things up with menu items that
haven't stuck around over time the big and tasty burger was one of the more intriguing products
that didn't make the cut a quarter pound beef patty with all the trimmings on a sesame seed bun
made the big and tasty seem utterly delectable despite this the notion did not take off in the
1990s the big and tasty made its debut burger king was gaining popularity and performing
exceptionally well everyone loved the whopper so mcdonald's decided to take action to combat their
fierce competitor the big and tasty was first offered to customers in california to correspond
with the launch of disney's california adventure a theme park dedicated to the state of california
the big and tasty received a large advertising campaign kobe bryant the late great nba icon
was featured prominently in the commercial campaign however this innovation fell short of
dethroning burger king's whopper mcdonald's chose to remove the big and tasty from its menu in 2011
after relegating it to the dollar menu and then removing it again you may still get something
comparable to the big and tasty if you wish just make sure there's cheese lettuce onions and of
course tomatoes on your quarter pounder remove the mustard and ketchup and ask for some of the big
mac's special sauce with a side of barbecue and you'll be close easy peasy even though mcdonald's
still has other popular burgers fans will always yearn for the big and tasty this is a tasty burger
