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.
