There are a lot of foods that bring back memories of your childhood, whether they're just snacks or something you could pick up at a drive-thru. And then in a cruel twist of fate, those very items that you've grown attached to are snatched out of your hands(and your hungry mouth)and discontinued, never to be seen again. So sad. But money talks, and if people aren't spending their dollars on pizza from a burger joint or brownies from a taco place, then all were left with are the memories... 1
McDonalds Pizza
1 / 28
Via: Mental Floss
It was introduced around 1989, but it took too long to make, cost too much, and wasnt exactly drive-thru friendly.

Burger Kings Cini-Minis

Via: The Daily Mal
They were introduced in partnership with Pillsbury in 1998 as delicious baby-sized cinnamon rolls.

Wendys Frescata
Via: CNBC

In 2006, the Wendys chain decided to compete with Subway restaurants and offer their own line of freshly prepared deli sandwiches. That lasted a year.

McDonalds Arch Deluxe
Via: Strange Kid's Club
In 1996, this burger was supposed to appeal to adult tastes with a secret mustard-mayonnaise sauce, because you know, thats so adult.

Burger King Burger Buddies
Via: Grub Grade
Burger King has tried to compete with White Castle sliders on numerous occasions. First, it was Burger Bundles in the late ’80s, Burger Buddies shortly after, and Burger Shots in the late 2000s. Three strikes and youre out, even though theyre pretty cute.

McDonalds Hot Apple Pie Fried Edition
Via: Wordpress
Back in 1992, McDonalds removed the fried pie and substituted it for the far less superior (and maybe slightly healthier) baked pie.

I bet if you asked nicely though they would still throw one in the fryer...

Dairy Queen Breeze
Via: Veemly
7 / 28
Back in 2009, they thought they would offer a healthier version of the popular Blizzard ice cream treat, made with frozen yogurt instead of ice cream. It lasted about a decade before they pulled the plug.

Taco Bells Brownie Sandwich
Via: Man Reviews Food
8 / 28
Introduced in 2013, it was two chocolate brownies sandwiched around chocolate frosting. In theory, it sounds delicious. In practice, no mas.
9
McSalad Shakers

Via: Houston Press
In 2000, they basically shoved an entire salad into what appears to be a Frappuccino cup. The were only around for a short time and were replaced by their Premium Salads in 2003.

Wendys Salad Bar

Via: The Standard
Instead of buying one of the premium salads they offer now, you could concoct your own creation in the 80s.

McD.L.T.
Via: McDonald's
Introduced in 1984, it was sold in a specially designed two-sided Styrofoam container. The meat and bottom half of the bun were placed separately from the lettuce, tomato, American cheese, pickles, sauces, and top half of the bun. In other words, customers made their own burger.
12
Pizza Hut's Priazzo
Via: Oola
The Priazzo was introduced in the 1980s and was similar to a deep-dish Chicago pizza. But it took too long to preparenot exactly “fast� foodand was discontinued.

Burger King's Enormous Omelette Sandwich
Via: Business Insider
The enormous omelette sandwich was released in 2005 and included an egg omelette, sausage, and cheese on a big sesame seed bun.
14
Taco Bell Beefer
Via: Wikipedia
It was a lot like a Sloppy Joe, with taco-seasoned ground beef topped with cheese, lettuce, and tomato. It was phased out in the early 1980s, and apparently they didnt always think outside the bun.

Burger King Cupcake Shake
Via: Foodspotting
In 2009, you could get a yellow cake-flavored milkshake with a dollop of whipped cream and colorful sprinkles on top.
16
Dennys Fried Cheese Melt
14 / 28
Via: Serious Eats
Discontinued in 2006, this heart attack on a plate consisted of grilled cheese sandwich made with four fried mozzarella sticks. Probably delicious, but more likely rather deadly.
17
Sonic Pickle-Os
15 / 28
Via: Pinterest
Sonic introduced fried pickle bites in 2004, and although they were discontinued not that much later, theres a rumor that you can order them from a secret menu. I mean, they have pickles and a fryer, right?
18
McDonalds Onion Nuggets
16 / 28
Via: Wordpress
Way back in the 70s, you could get chopped onions shaped into small solid pieces, dipped in batter and deep-fried. Then I guess they decided to start making nuggets out of questionable chicken instead.
19
Burger King Satisfries
17 / 28
Via: USA Today
18 / 28
These healthy fries failed to satisfy even though they were 40 lower in calories than the standard French Fries. They took a hike around 2014.
20
Wendys Fresh Stuffed Pitas
Via: Top Secret Recipes
19 / 28
Introduced in 1998, it was basically a chicken Caesar, classic Greek, or garden veggie salad wrapped in a warm pita. They wrapped up this idea only a couple short years later.
21
McLean Deluxe
20 / 28
Via: Wordpress
It was a healthy reduced fat hamburger created in 1991 to appeal to health conscious customers, but it was dry and a big McFlop.
22
Taco Bell Frito Burrito
21 / 28
Via: Wikia
Fritos made it into a wonderful burrito with red sauce, cheese, seasoned ground beef, Frito corn chips, and sour cream. Its still so missed that there is a Facebookpage begging to bring it back. Seriously.

McLobster
Via: McDonald's
Its pretty much lobster meat shoved in a hot dog bun with “McLobster sauce� and shredded lettuce. You can still find it internationally (and in a few select states like Rhode Island), but most Americans were too cheap to pay $6 and it was thrown back to sea.

Jack in the Box Frings
Via: Yahoo
The name is funif you like it then you should have put a fring on itbut this combo of fries and onion rings released in the 70s was discontinued shortly after.

McDonalds Big N Tasty
Via: The Impulsive Buy
Introduced in 2009, it was the perfect union between coffee, toffee and frosty but discontinued two years later because Wendy’s hates happiness.
25 / 28
29
Taco Bell Black Jack Taco
Via: Wikia
If you were around in 2009, you could get a Halloween-themed taco that consisted of a black taco shell filled with beef, Baja Sauce, lettuce, and the three cheese blend.

McDonalds Mighty Wings
Via: Business Insider
I guess they thought if they did chicken nuggets, they could do the wings back in 1990, but they were too expensive, too spicy, and taken off the menu in November 2013.
Which one do you miss the most?
