> [@DrCube](#): > > All of Taco Bell’s breakfast menu is garbage. Dry waffle tacos, “crunchwraps” with greasy hash browns inside, even the coffee was terrible. Of course, I didn’t go in expecting much, but I did expect to fill my stomach for cheap and not feel queasy afterwards. Taco Bell breakfast failed at even that meager task. > > On the other hand, White Castle breakfast is surprisingly good. For fast food breakfast, that is. I agree wholeheartedly! I once tried a Taco Bell “Waffle Taco”. It was absolutely awful. For the more fortunate of us who have not tried it, it is a breakfast sandwich of sausage and eggs wedged into the crevice of a folded waffle, then topped off with maple syrup. I took one bite and threw the rest out. ---

> [@Dogzilla](#): > > I’m pretty sure I didn’t hallucinate, but I vaguely remember the McD’s near my house offering fish nuggets for about five minutes. I must have been high when I ordered them one day because that sounded good to me. The idea could’ve worked but I should have known better. I ate one, some fries, and threw most of it out. Nasty! Hey, I remember those! I think I bought some once, thought they were okay, and then they disappeared before I ever had another chance to buy them. [They were indeed real](https://youtu.be/ZWOHt6ttflk). [McSooshi](http://snltranscripts.jt.org/86/86gmcsooshi.phtml), however, remains a myth. ---

> [@actualliberalnotoneofthose](#): > > I’ve tried 2 of the 3 new Signature Crafted build your own burger (or grilled chicken or fried chicken) meals at Mcdonalds. The barbecue bacon one was pretty good but the dijon bacon one wasn’t. The Dijon bacon burger was a great way to be disappointed for $7. I would have rather just bought a Big Mac. Speaking of the $7, McD’s was supposedly running some promotion where their Signature sandwiches came with a free medium drink and fries. But they charged me for mine; something I didn’t notice (it was a sizable order) until later. I think the sandwich itself is closer to $4 but they not only gave me a lousy sandwich but fleeced me for another couple bucks at the same time. > [@DCnDC](#): > > Anyone else remember McDonald’s experimenting with pizza in the early 90s? My sister used to be an assistant manager at McD’s during the late shifts at that time. Each morning I’d wake up and find 2-3 pizzas in the fridge; stuff unsold from the previous evening. I remember it being pretty okay, but I was also a 15 year old eating free pizza so my standards weren’t exactly high. ---

Pizza Hut putting mustard on pizza. It overwhelmed every other flavor _including the jalapenos_ and was basically like eating big ol’ spoonfuls of yellow mustard. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/worst-fast-food-menu-gimmick-item-you-ever-tried/785701.md?page=5)
