McDonalds had a burger snack wrap. They still have chicken ones, but I liked the burger version. Many fewer calories than a real burger, but it hit the same craving spot as a burger.
I loved the McDonald’s cheddar melt when I was a kid in the 80s. I’m sure there’s no possible way it could live up to my memories of it, but it was always a special treat for me. Also, the much more recent jalapeno McDouble, but I’m pretty sure I can get that if I convince someone to make the Jalapeno McChicken currently offered with hamburger patties instead of chicken.
Apparently, onion nuggets used to a thing at McDonald’s. I love onions, so I would also be up for bringing that back just to see what the heck these things were like.
I understand that the Styrofoam was a deal breaker, but I liked how the burger was split. When they had them, I was a kid & it was just “eat it fast & throw it out fast” food.
Today, I could see taking a McDLT type split burger home… maybe in a waxed cardboard 2 layered shell container.
Then at home, I’d rummage through in the fridge and seeing how I could Dagwood that top half before putting the burger together, pinning it together with a toothpick, and microwaving it for 45 seconds to melt the cheese.
KFC’s original Chicken Littles - which were basically a chicken slider. They left 20-ish years ago and made a comeback circa 2012, but they aren’t the same. My husband called them ‘chicken cookies.’ We have ‘turkey cookies’ at home after Thanksgiving in their memory …
(I’d also love to have an Arthur Treacher’s outlet here, but they’re almost extinct. I was pleased to find out that the one I used to visit in high school and college back in the late '70s and early '80s on Rockside Road in Ohio is still there!!)
I don’t know if pizza is usually fast food but I wish they’d bring back Little Caesar’s pretzel crust pizza. I never liked the cheese sauce so I’d get it with the regular sauce. It was like the pizza hot pretzels they sold at the mall back in the day.
About 15 years ago, Taco Bell had these yummy, savory, greasy little potato coin thingies called Mexi-Nuggets. They were amazing. Mr. Helena would say Wendy’s apple dumplings. I believe they had them in the midwest years ago.
