for you parents mcdonald's has pasta dinners lots of spaghetti with delicious meatballs fast food
has evolved immensely over the years some changes have been monumental while others have been
monumental fails so let's press rewind and look at the 10 biggest fast food fails from the year
you were born part two taco bell's belle beefer 1970s in the mid 70s taco bell hit us with the
bell beefer it was everything you loved about a taco but on a burger style bun let us travel back
in time all the way to the swinging 1970s back then just like today taco bell was known for tacos
i mean it's right there in the name so when you hit up the bell and sink outside the bun
that's exactly what you're looking for something other than a burger therefore it should come as
little surprise that taco bell's bell beefer otherwise known as a sloppy joe style burger
was less than a resounding success introduced to the tb roster in the 70s the bell beefer seems
like a menu item with an identity crisis this is weird why don't you tell me your name is it a taco
is it a burger is it a taco burger is it a sloppy joe what is it specifically this item consisted of
taco meat lettuce onions and mild taco bell sauce on a hamburger bun wait this doesn't sound so bad
well these chili burgers as they were originally introduced did not exactly sell like hotcakes
quite the opposite and because of poor sales the bell beefer was retired from the menu while the
dish began being phased out from the menus in the 1980s it was officially discontinued in the 1990s
jack-in-the-box's frings late 1970s i just had my first frame and my taste buds will
never be the same again a crossover dish can be a resounding success or an epic failure in the case
of jack-in-the-box's frings we're gonna have to go with epic failure for this one a mix between onion
rings and french fries in theory this sounds like a match made in heaven but in practice the match
was not so heavenly after all the jack-in-the-box experimental side order was a carton of
onion rings slash fries introduced in the late 1970s why have the same old thing haven't bring
but then by the early 1980s it was gone like the wind frings didn't make it to mainstream success
although just like b-list monster movies they did acquire a cult-like following other restaurants
introduced their own versions of frings to their menus but as far as trying to head over to jack in
the box to get your hands on frings you'd be out of luck and approximately four decades too late
pizza huts priatso god i wish we had a pizza hut in south park much like a celebrity pizza hut
may be known worldwide but one thing that it did not get right was the priatso rollout in the 80s
priyatso a made-up italian word was advertised as being very special italian pies these special pies
which were in development for two years consisted of two layers of dough with the works pepperoni
mushrooms onions spinach ham bacon tomatoes and a whole pound of cheese oh my while the hut may have
labeled the priatso a pie everyone else thought it was more like a mixture between pizza quiche and
lasagna my pizza never hurt nobody come again sir and while you could ask for toppings to be taken
off your priatso changing or substituting toppings was a strict no-no so why did pizza hut retire
this not really pizza dish simply put it took too long to make 40 minutes too long in fact and in a
business where time is money the priatso proved too costly for pizza hut to continue serving
r.i.p priatso although we may not know exactly what you were you are still sorely missed
mcdonald's cheddar melt late 1980s hello welcome to mcdonald's may i take your order please the
mcdonald's cheddar melt was a quarter pounder in a teriyaki glaze with caramelized onions and
cheddar cheese sauce all enclosed on a rye bun mcdonald's added the cheddar melt for
a limited time to its menu in the late 80s and then removed it as a menu item the same
year it made a few comebacks but still the same thing goes for the cheddar melts return in 2002.
it was re-released on the menu and subsequently removed from the same menu during that same
year why it also reappeared in wisconsin in 2014 which makes sense given how fond wisconsin is of
cheese now that's an understatement this cheesy mcdonald's menu has its own facebook group with
300 plus members begging the golden arches to bring it back there is strength in numbers so
maybe if this fb group gets a few more members on board they'll have a shot of getting the cheddar
melt back but until then it looks like this cheesy mickey d's item we'll have to stay in retirement
at least a little while longer burger king's bk dinner baskets early 1990s welcome to burger king
blaine grilling since 1954. can i interest you in a whopper burger king introduced bk
dinner baskets way back in the early 90s in an attempt to make the resto a bit more upscale
between the hours of 4 p.m and 8 p.m burger king offered table service patrons would enjoy kernel
after kernel of free popcorn while they waited for their fast food to arrive at a casual dining pace
the actual feature attraction though the bk dinner basket consisted of a main item such as a whopper
steak sandwich or crispy chicken filet served with your choice of either french fries or a
baked potato and once again your choice between a side salad or coleslaw sounds fantastic so
what happened you can get it to go if you want to eat it in your car and cry well since one of the
best things burger king has going for it is the speed in which the food is served this new hybrid
model of dining out did not catch on it's all good though with little risk comes little reward
so it was worth a shot but still irrespective of how inspired the move may have been it still was
a fail that landed the bk attempt a spot on this list taco bell's blt soft taco 19.95 here's your
taco mister whoops spelling the fryer i'll get it out the year was 1995 and taco bell just released
the blt soft taco ah yes the blt soft taco it is exactly as it sounds and yet it failed but
it did so gracefully taco bell launched a series of three bacon-based items on its menu including a
chicken club burrito a bacon cheeseburger burrito and finally the blt soft taco as it turns out tb
was just trying to keep up with the joneses aka the other fast food restaurants out there as they
were all introducing bacon infused items onto their regular menus the blt soft taco was sold
for an astounding 99 cents it was hella affordable and by all stretches of the imagination delicious
so what happened here's your taco sir i don't want it well the entire sizzling bacon menu failed by
the following year the sizzling bacon menu is a thing of the past the reason for the flop was that
apparently taco bell couldn't get the bacon right complaints were constantly being made by customers
claiming that the bacon was either undercooked or overcooked there's a valuable lesson in this fail
sometimes it's best to just stay in your lane mcdonald's mixed salad shakers the year 2000.
free speaking police introduced in the year 2000 mixed salad shakers were a great idea in theory
but once again in practice they just didn't pan out the mixed salad shakers were basically salads
on the go that were served in plastic cups you could shake the salad to your heart's content
getting dressing on every last piece of the lettuce there were three mixed salad shakers
to choose from including the chef mix salad shaker the chicken caesar mix salad shaker
and the garden mix salad shaker the chef mcsallan shaker had ham turkey cheddar and jack cheese
eggs tomato and green onions making it a hearty meal choice next there was the chicken caesar
mix salad shaker which was basically a green salad with grilled chicken slices and parmesan
cheese and finally the garden mcsalad shaker was a green salad with chopped egg tomatoes green onions
and a cheddar and jack cheese blend so what went wrong who goes to mcdonald's and orders a salad
well to put it simply mcdonald's discontinued the item to create space for salads in a bowl
so the mcsalad shakers acted as a kind of opening act to the feature presentation and we guess
that's cool but the mixed salad shakers are still considered a fail by many they didn't take off and
they went into a state of permanent hibernation in 2003 they did eventually evolve into bowl form
but the mixed salad shaker itself failed domino's oreo dessert pizza 2007 oreos
man i love this when you think dominoes what do you see we see pizza lots and lots of delicious
cheesy pizza but what if we told you that domino's is also responsible for some pretty
interesting other menu items such as the oreo dessert pizza say what well hopefully you'd
believe us because it's true back in 2007 domino's decided to introduce a new dessert that fail fail
failed you really think so the oreo laden dessert had a thin crust layers of vanilla sauce and oreo
cookie crumbles all over the place oh yeah and who can forget the icing drizzled on top
like everywhere it was available for 3.99 with any purchase but the great price point and the
original concept wasn't enough to get people to buy the dessert why you ask great question
word on the internet is that the oreo dessert pizza was way too sweet apparently it was also
too chewy and just overall unappealing yikes while technically still a pizza the oreo dessert
pizza strays far from domino's usual cheese infused pizza we give them an a for effort
but ultimately this idea got an f taco bell's blackjack taco 2009. blackjack taco taco taco
sauce at 89 cents a pop you would think that taco bell's blackjack taco would hold so much more
promise but alas it did not the year was 2009. kanye west had just interrupted taylor swift's
acceptance speech at the vmas and farmville was all the rage with the kids taco bell decided to
put the blackjack taco onto their why pay more value menu the highlight of the taco was the black
shell filled with beef pepper jack sauce lettuce and three different cheeses in siri a glorious
idea but in practice an unmistakable mistake customers were spooked when this one disappeared
the evidence well the taco bell blackjack taco would literally turn your waist green leading
you to make an emergency call to the doctor that is equal parts alarming as it is comical it would
appear as though the only value the blackjack taco could provide was being a punchline
somewhere down the line and well no one wants that reputation now do they not even a taco friendly's
grilled cheeseburger melt 2010. you'll never want to stop eating it and in theory you never could
raising more questions than even lady gaga's meat dress that she sported in 2010 is perhaps
this item released the same year the friendly's grilled cheeseburger melt much like gaga's wild
dress the grilled cheeseburger melt brought on a lot of attention from the public abc news reported
on the release of the wildly outrageous meal due to its possible health implications the grilled
cheeseburger melt is exactly as it sounds a burger with lettuce mayo and tomato sandwiched in between
two grilled cheese sandwiches you're not dreaming now that's a mouthful the negative backlash to the
very large sandwich could potentially be why this monstrosity of a meal was removed from friendly's
menu and the word is that it was pulled pretty quickly despite being officially taken off of
the friendly's menu this item has almost become a cult classic for the brave foodies out there there
are tons of versions of this recipe online so that those who missed out on the grilled
cheeseburger melts brief stint can recreate the short-lived failed magic but if you do make this
meal at home prepare at your own leisure and eat at your own risk stay right here and tap or click
