Top 10 Biggest Fast Food Limited-Time Meal Failures

Hey, do you remember these items that didn't last too long? Let's take a look back at these disastrous one-course meals.

The Top Ten

  1. KFC Double Down Sandwich

    Oh dear God, those things could give anyone heartburn for a good week just from eating one. It's basically the opposite of what a chicken sandwich should be. The only difference is that it's supposed to have a waffle-style bun, but that still isn't enough to justify the stomach upset.

    They briefly came to the UK as well, and many people found them revoltingly greasy. I'll stick with bread for my sandwiches, please.

  2. McDonald's Super Size

    McDonald's has had many blunders come and go, but arguably the biggest one was the Super Size option. Thanks to the documentary film Super Size Me, many people felt sick to their stomachs about what they had been craving for about 12 years. Sure, it might be considered decent, but the end result was revolting.

  3. Burger King Satisfries

    This was the time when they magically took away the fan-favorite Chicken Fries and replaced them with the epic failure of Satisfries. Needless to say, it did a poor job of marketing and lasted less than a year before they brought back Chicken Fries, much to the customers' delight.

    Hey, at least some schools serve those. Sadly, it was discontinued in 2014 because they didn't do a good enough job of convincing the public that they were a healthy choice. Satisfries, made in 2013, had 40% less fat and 30% fewer calories, but people just didn't want them anymore.

  4. Taco Bell Bell Beefer

    Yes, Taco Bell made their own burger at one point, and it was a massive failure. It was more or less a simplistic take on a sloppy Joe with various other toppings of their own style.

    It was available for a while, but eventually, it was discontinued. They went back to what they do best: serving tacos in soft or hard shells. That's the Taco Bell I know, not this burger slop.

  5. Wendy's Superbar

    Oh man, this one failed massively in the late '80s. It was more or less an attempt to be like Big Boy with a counterpart breakfast bar, but for salad. That wasn't going to sell very well.

    The Superbar ended up a victim of its own success: Wendy's crews just couldn't keep it clean and stocked while serving up burgers, too. Yikes, bad service for not keeping it spotless.

  6. Chipotle Queso

    I've never been to one, but when I did, I was given this of all things. Chipotle has tried to stay true to its pledge to avoid artificial ingredients that are common in most types of gooey cheese dip, throwing off the texture and taste for many customers. It has pledged to keep tweaking the recipe. There's nothing secret about feeling sick shortly after digestion, is there?

  7. Jack in the Box Frings

    First off, Jack In The Box has to be one of the worst places for fast food. Next, they combined serving fries with onion rings. Not a bad combo, but who actually eats there?

  8. Sonic Pickle-O's

    Pickles are okay in soup, but from a fast-food standpoint like Sonic, oh no. Who loves pickles? If you do, by all means, say what you will, but you don't need a meal with this much of them, shaped like a nugget.

  9. Dairy Queen Breeze

    The frozen yogurt fail didn't help the matters for the king of ice cream and cakes. This was one of their more unusual offerings in their long line of food products. The Breeze has left the building, never to be relevant again.

  10. McDonald's Szechuan Sauce Return

    This was a hilarious failure. I wish I had been at a McDonald's when this happened so I could have seen it in person.

    11. The Newcomers

    Long John Silver's Big Catch Meal

    13. The Contenders

  13. Carl's Jr. Baby Back Rib Burger

    There's nothing more unappetizing than seeing how much was put into that burger. For around $5.00, you feel ripped off by the end of it.

  14. Burger King Windows 7 Whopper

  15. McDonald's McPizza

  16. Burger King Fire-Grilled Ribs

  17. Domino's Oreo Pizza

  18. Burger King Where's Herb? Campaign

  19. McDonald's Hula Burger

  20. Burger King BK Dinner Baskets

    At one time, Burger King had table service where you could choose between a Whopper, a steak sandwich, shrimp, or chicken fillets, along with a choice of fries or baked potato, and a choice of salad or coleslaw. They would even serve popcorn as an appetizer.

    It's easy to see why this failed. People go to Burger King for fast food service. If someone wants table service, they should go to a regular restaurant.

  21. Taco Bell Seafood Salad

    There are so many things wrong with the idea of Taco Bell serving a seafood salad.

  22. Burger King Crown-Shaped Chicken Nuggets

  23. Taco Bell Naked Chicken Chalupa

    Basically, Taco Bell's version of KFC's Double Down. A chalupa with a fried chicken patty for a shell instead of being a sandwich between two fried chicken patties.

  24. McDonald's McSpaghetti

    Who would go to McDonald's to order spaghetti?

  25. Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino

  26. Subway Flatizza
