If you dont agree with this, dont post in this thread.

Anybody remember any of the items on fast food menus back then that arent around anymore?

I remember a burger called the superhero sandwich or something like that from McDonalds.....it was 3 cheeseburgers on a sub bun.

    Also, what happened to the McDonalds cheese danish? These were seriously incredible. McDonalds quickly became the worst fast food restaurant when they shrunk their menu (amongst other reasons)

    don't forget, all that no-longer-existent fast food came in little styrofoam boxes!
    and a "large" was like half the size it is now!

    Panterra's Pizza.

    *EDIT* I almost forgot about the McDLT: "It keeps the hot side hot and the cool side cool" or something like that. I just remember those gigantic stryrofoam containers.

    I remember making those when I worked at McDonalds. I think They had this burger when they had a promotion tie-in with one of the Batman movies. That was during their "Burger of the Month" phase where they would have a different specialty sandwich each month. I can't remember if that even lasted a whole year.

    And Today's Special...loved that one.

    Some of my best 90's memories involved sitting on my front porch with my best friend listening to Ace of Base and eating Cherry Blasters.
    *sigh* To be young again... :D

    i don't think McD's ever had pizza here in NY.
    i can't imagine there'd be much of a market for it, when you can get real pizza on every corner.

    Not sure if you are being sarcastic there or not (hard to tell on forums sometimes). Most people tend to think their pizza sucked, but I thought it was OK.

    I dont think they had pizza around here unless I was too young.......I saw on a sign that Burger King has those shitty tacos again though

    I always remember the theme song for that. When I was sick I used to stay home and watch Nick Jr............even though I dont think I enjoyed the shows that much really. I remember some cartoon with a girl and her pet koalas, david the gnome as well.

    nice!


    for my dad's last bday, someone bought him a box of candy from the 50's, when he grew up. it was so cool, and my dad was all nostaligic.
    There was an order form in there for every decade. Dad's had some nasty shit in there i've never heard of, and some stuff that's still around now, like pixie stix, wax lips, wax bottles, necco wafers, etc.

    lol i was just thinking that!
    as far as 90's, we could get into music, but growing up in the 80s it was all about food.
    and video games. Atari...that was my parents' toy. i was allowed to play with it once in a while!

    no shit?
    I think they closed down all the ones here on long island back in the early 90s.

    How about the toys from the 80's? (The only thing good about that decade IMO).

    My favorite toys were the Transformers. I was upset when they killed off Optimus Prime in the movie (the animated one from 86, not the recent version). I also had a lot of GI Joe figures and vehicles.

    We didn't get them out here until a few years ago. I personally think they're food sucks compared to other FF places. I can't believe you don't see the commercials on TV for them? They're on every 20 minutes.

    not here, they're not!

    the commercials that we get here that piss me off are the Sonic commercials. I don't think there's a single Sonic in NY. And all that shit they advertise looks sooooo good.
    I went to one once in SC, and their frozen coffee drinks are amazing. Dunno why there's none here.
