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!

Those apple pie slices that came in the card carton thing? So crispy and beautiful.

Taco Bell quesoritos :(

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

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

Runza used to sell frozen dark chocolate-dipped cheesecake on a stick. They were delicious, and small enough that you wouldn't feel guilty about ordering one.

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.

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.

The Mexican pizza that had olives on it.

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.

Bring Back Morton Honeybuns!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not exactly what op is talking about but: fish and chip shops that don't sell spam butties, like they have chip butties, but not spam butties. Smh
