Taco Bell Choco-Taco. Yeah, the reanimated corpse of it lives on in some gas station frozen sections, but it's a shitty product. The original one sold at Taco Bell in the 90s was god tier.

Taco Bell's Volcano Taco. They brought it back for like a month and took it away again. Technically it's still available in Kuwait but I can't get anyone to mail me a bag of the sauce.

I remember the time when Subway used to serve their sandwiches with the strip of bread on top. Those were the good old days.

Taco Bell's caramel apple empanada and the double decker.

Burger King chicken nuggets from the 90s, before the recipe changed to crap. If I had to pick a flavor that I associate with my childhood, this would be it.

The Angus Mushroom & Swiss burger from McDonald's. The Angus was the closest thing they ever had to a real burger, but they were too expensive for most people and were eventually discontinued. Fun fact: wages have stagnated yet their basic burgers now cost more than the Angus did.

McDonald's Salad Shaker or the McDLT

I loved the Arch Deluxe from McDonalds.

Milk Shakes at just about any fast food restaurants. The machines always seem to be down! Pulled up to an Arby's a few months back to order a Jamoca shake and they said their machine was down. I asked them if I had pulled into the McDonald's drive through by mistake. We all had a big laugh... but that was months ago and they have now put a sticker on the menu that says their shakes are not currently available :(

Went to a Baskin Robins to order a Chocolate Milk shake and they were out of Chocolate ice cream... on multiple occasions. At least they don't have a machine to break down!

Arby's potato cakes

The Double Decker taco came back for like a month last year and I went to Taco Bell probably eight times once I realized it because it’s my favorite and I’m super pissed that they won’t just make one for me even though they have all of the ingredients, FFS.

For a VERY brief time in 2010, Burger King sold bone-in short ribs.

Guys, those were literally the best fucking short ribs I have had in my life. High end BBQ places couldn't even come close. Every Burger King would sell out like instantly whenever they got a shipment in. And then after 2 months... Gone. Forever.

There was a short lived candybar called PB Max that I’ve been craving for like the last 20 years. It actually tasted like peanut butter which, despite my love for peanut butter cups, just completely outdid them for peanutty goodness.

McDonald's pizza. Technically like 1 location still makes it. It's mostly just a big nostalgia hit for me.

A Rax roast beef sandwich.

Wendy's pitas. When I worked there in the mid-90s, they had pitas that I quite liked.

Now I want fast food, but it's not worth the hour to get to McD's and back.

It was actually the steak bagel breakfast sandwich at McDonalds... until that garbage institution actually brought it back defector! It trned out to be a weaker approximatation with different/less seasoning on meat and different sauce, but close enough for nostalgia

an 🍔

Going crazy trying to think of what word you use for 🍔 that starts with a vowel.

Oh, and also I used to always get the Santa Fe chicken Gordita at Taco Bell until it went away.

Taco Bell quesoritos :(

The only reason I went to McDonald's before covid was because breakfast was available all day.

The way Wendy's fries used to be. pre 2010

Technically, you can still get it, but the 7 layer burrito was my go-to order when I was on the road and forced to have fast food. The Taco Bell in the next town over was right off the highway, so as I would be zipping between patients, it was usually the only realistic option other than a truck stop that had put people in the hospital three times. So, you know, l decided to live, mas or not lol.

There was a point in time where I ended up eating a lot of taco bell. Enough that I'd had everything on their menu at least once, up until 2005. After that, I haven't been able to work, so no zipping around three counties wiping butts, which means no need for fast food except as an occasional thing. So I've lost track of if they've had any temporary stuff or not.

But, yeah, the 7layer was bomb. Like I said, you can still get the same thing by messing around and adding things to other burritos, but that's a pain in the ass for drive through, if you feel me.

The burger king (hungry jacks here) chicken burgers with the painted on grill lines.

The original Enchirito. It was fairly large and had more sauce and cheese.

Also the Bell Burger.

Foot long chili dogs.

Two things from Wendy's:

First bring back the old chicken nugget meat. The spicy nuggets taste like trash now.

Second that Jalapeno Fresco Spicy Chicken Sandwich.

The premillennial shakes at McDonald's, before they made them thick.

Whataburger's A1 sauce burger with bacon. They got bought out by another company and it vanished 😥

McDonald’s Angus Burger , only burger they sold for several years that didn’t taste like cardboard.

Santa Fe items at Taco Bell. Also the Volcano Nachos.

Carl's Jr. recently discontinued their Beyond Famous Star, which I honestly think tasted better than a regular Famous Star.

How can no one else miss Taco Bell's naked chicken chalupa? I loved that thing.

And the McRib is missed every time it leaves.

Not exactly fast food but kinda junk food, the sugar free lime Red Bull it was so good it was an after work treat I would get myself. Then it just slowly started disappearing from shelves and then they were gone, I would love it if they brought it back. As for fast food double decker tacos at Taco Bell, they had a good long run so I can’t be too disappointed, but miss just being able to go in and buy them when I want.

The Arby's Triple Cheese Melt. I think they stopped making it by the late 90s. Every once in a while it would show up again randomly and go away again a few weeks later but I don't think I've seen one since like 2005

I generally mourn actual Hardee's. There were several things i miss from their menu pre-Carl's Jr.

Not "fast food" but a junk food, cadburys used to do a chocolate sponge cake in a tin that was the best. Im not even a massive fan of chocolate but these things were great!

$1.50 JBCs. Not worth the 3.50 they cost now. Used to be bigger and cheaper.

Also, the Arch Deluxe and personal pizzas from McDonald's.
