Here, for a while at McDonald's there was a πŸ” called "the 1955" and it was the best, big pieces of onion, an special sauce, buns and big piece of beef with bacon (for Europe standards anyways) it disappeared once and came back for an encore only to be removed again and never return.

Burger King Whoppers in the 90s.

They use to taste really, really good. But now 30 years later they’re made with dogshit tier beef and terrible buns and the whole thing just sucks.

Gotta chime in with the bacon cheddar potato wedges and chili cheese curly fries at Jack in the Box. Jack in general has become shit tier now.

Also, McDonalds used to have a super excellent breakfast burrito with sausage, bacon, peppers, everything. Back when breakfast all day was a thing.

McDonald's Grilled Chicken Flatbread. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one that remembers them, but they were so delicious around 2003 or 2004, can't really remember anymore.

I can't find Starbucks ginger molasses cookies, although technically they're still sold? I could fly to Seattle I guess.

[–] phoukas@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Mcdonald's chicken selects! And by extension the snack wraps. Also their very limited basket of fries. I feel like I might be the only person who even remembers it.

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.

McDonalds pre 90s fries, McDonalds fried apple and cherry pies, McDonalds pre-90s shakes, Dairy Queen's Queen burger, Sonics pre 2000s burgers and the Sonic fish sandwich.

I feel like I’m cursed or McD’s is taking a huge nose dive. I haven’t had a good, hot, not-soggy, salty McDonalds french fry in like 2-3 years. Every time I go, the fries are super gross. I’ve taken several road trips and the only consistency I’ve experienced is how terrible the fries have been.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Always ask for fresh fries if you're not in a hurry. If its a rush you don't need to worry about it, but that guarantees you'll get them crispy and as good as they'll ever be...

At McDonalds in India, there was a chocolate thick shake. It was basically chocolate shake that was frozen. It was served from a softie-machine of sorts. I had to suck the straw so effing hard to have 1 sip of the shake.

I used to buy it and let it melt for a while , just so that I can drink it through straw.

They discontinued it. Idk why.

Jalapeno rings at del taco.

Sliced jalapeno, breaded and fried. Served with a ranch-esqe sauce.

Simple and so fucking delicious.

The sourdough ranch bacon cheeseburger from Carl's Jr was my go to burger back in the early 2000s. They brought back another sourdough sandwich a few years ago and it was also good but unfortunately that's also discontinued.

The sourdough from Jack in the Box is close but with the lack of lettuce and onions feels a little dry.

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!

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

They still have those where I live I think. Chocolate shavings on top?

The fajitas at McDonald's. They were decent for the price.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

"hi. I'd like one quarter-pounder (aka royale) with no cheese, but with Mac sauce on the heel. Thanks."

That's kinda it.

A&W has really good seasonal burgers that they retire every season.
