People wanted the Mexican pizza back so badly, in fact, that they were completely sold out in a week. There are many fast food items that have come and gone over the years; some good, some not so much.

You would add the dressing to the salad, pop on the dome, and shake it up, thereby making the salad perfectly dressed! Today, we are far more health-conscious than we were when the Shakers were available. Because you can control the amount of dressing used, it would be a perfect addition to the Mickey D’s menu!
Like a churro, but not so doughy! You get the idea. If they had made it a simple Whopper in a wrap, it would have been money. But they got too cute with it and tried too hard. Today, a cheeseburger wrap is a pretty normal item at most fast-casual restaurants. If Burger King brought it back now, it would likely be a big success. What they used to have was a thin envelope of dough wrapped around delicious apple pie filling with a hint of cinnamon and deep fried until slightly crispy. It was, in a word, amazing. The potato cake was far more than just a McDonald’s Hash Brown; it was light, crispy, and larger than the hashbrown. It was the perfect side for one of Arby’s meaty monstrosities! Does it make your mouth water? It should. And they took it off the menu. It was amazing and shareable, even though you wouldn’t want anyone else to touch it. Actually, it may have been that last one that doomed the breakfast taco. The syrup would get all over everything as it dripped out of the waffle taco shell. They were even better than the mashed potatoes! And if you dipped them in the gravy that usually goes on the mashed potatoes, you were absolutely hooked! As the country moved toward being more health-conscious, its popularity diminished. They were laid to rest in 2009. They did, however, return for a limited time in 2021. And they were delicious. You can argue all you want. I don’t care. These were quite simply, the best french fries ever put before mankind. If you don’t think these need to come back, read that description again. Some people go to fairs and carnivals strictly for the snacks. And Burger King was just giving it to us. And then they took it away. Burger King is cruel. The toast was infused with the sweetness of maple syrup flavor. For some reason that no reasonable person could ever understand, Sonic stopped selling them. It was a standout item for years, but in 1993, it was pulled from the menu. It made a reappearance in the early 2000s, but some of the ingredients had been changed, thus leading to its permanent cancellation in 2013. (Update! The Enchirito just won a fan vote and will be making a comeback in early 2023.) The Meximelt was a combination of Fiesta Soft Tacos mixed with a quesadilla. A folded flour tortilla stuffed with the taco meat and Fiesta Salsa of the soft taco on top of a large amount of melted cheddar cheese. It was quietly lost to a massive menu overhaul in 1999. The original Shamrock Shake tasted more like a mint chocolate chip without the chips. It was thick and creamy and actually quite refreshing. Some things should just be left alone. It consisted of a grilled beef patty dipped in a sweet teriyaki glaze, grilled onions, and a cheddar cheese sauce (as opposed to the usual cheese slice), on a rye bun. The likely reason this one has never made a comeback is because of the item’s specific ingredients and longer prep time. Anything that requires different ingredients has a tendency to be frowned upon by franchisees. It seems that people who are serious about their health don’t choose to eat at Burger King. The Satisfries never caught on with customers and were discontinued shortly after their debut. After it was on the menu for a short time, customers did have the option of adding Kit Kat or Twix crumbles, but that doesn’t seem over the top. Sadly, it was gone as quickly as it arrived. At least in the US. This tasty treat is still available in other countries around the world. As amazing as that sounds to all of us carnivores, it was a heart attack in a box. It boasted 450 calories, 40 grams of cholesterol, 23 grams of fat, and 830 milligrams of sodium in one slice. It was not a big slice either. But alas, all good things must come to an end. The shell… was chicken… All that goodness wrapped in a shell made of fried chicken! How great was this? (Very. I had one. Thumbs up!) If you aren’t aware, cheetle is the actual, official name for Cheeto dust! And when it covers fried mac and cheese bites? Wonderful Two strips of bacon, a secret sauce, and cheese between two chicken fillets covered in that signature KFC breading. It was delicious. I swear. And let’s be honest, if someone walked into a fast-casual and ordered two fried chicken fillets topped with bacon crumbles with a side of cheesy mashed potatoes or an order of cheese fries, no one would think anything of it. So why all the hate?

You get one and it’s hot and juicy, the ribs are tender, the sauce doesn’t overpower the taste of the rib, and the onions and pickles give it that little bit of crunch to take it over the top. And we never know if we will ever get it again or not. It usually comes back once or twice a year, but not always at every location. They get us addicted to their product and then take it away from us. McDonald‘s-you’re just being mean. Do you remember any of these long-lost items? Did you ever actually try some of them? Let us know in the comments below! And it’s OK to admit you had a Double Down and liked it. This is a safe, nonjudgmental space. You’re good.
