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

      Huh? I’ve never seen this. But I’ve had a severe McDonalds related Mandela effect recently, so I think I came from a different universe with a slightly different McDonalds

    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.

        I’ve tried. The thing that’s hard to replicate is the beans, actually. Though I’ve mostly used canned refried beans; I’ve been meaning to get a can of whole pintos and mash them myself, and see if that helps.

          You’ll probably want to start with dry beans. Canned ones are likely just going to be beans boiled in regular water. Meant to be an ingredient in something rather than the star. But if you make from scratch you can add in flavors: onion, garlic, etc.

          Plenty of recipes online.

          When making refried beans make sure to use pork fat of some kind. I use bacon fat.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Burger King had actual Mac&Cheese burger patties for a very brief period and it was the best thing ever.

    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.

      Mirroring Taco Bell here. Mine was the cheesey bean and rice burrito…they removed it and re released it, but it’s not the same at all. No pico, almost no creamy jalapeno sauce and just a bunch of rice and beans now.

        And they’re obnoxiously expensive for what you get. You could get far better food for the prices Taco Bell demands nowadays.

          When they where 99c they were great, but now they’re like $1.89 or something and missing basically everything that made them great.

            Over where I am it’s closer to 3 dollars for the cheapest burritoes. Stuff like the 5-layer and grilled cheese burrito are 7 bucks!
