Burger King Whoppers in the 90s.
They use to taste really, really good. But now 30 years later theyβre made with dogshit tier beef and terrible buns and the whole thing just sucks.

McPizza
The Mac Jr (1 patty, no middle bun). I used to order it with a small fry. Iβm small, so it was the perfect size for me so I could finish everything and not be stuffed.
Jack in the Box - Big Cheeseburger
Taco Bell - Volcano tacos
The peppercorn ranch chicken strip sandwich from Whataburger!
Gotta chime in with the bacon cheddar potato wedges and chili cheese curly fries at Jack in the Box. Jack in general has become shit tier now.
Also, McDonalds used to have a super excellent breakfast burrito with sausage, bacon, peppers, everything. Back when breakfast all day was a thing.
Burger King had actual Mac&Cheese burger patties for a very brief period and it was the best thing ever.
SmashBurger did the same and also had a spicy version that was awesome; also gone π
The sourdough ranch bacon cheeseburger from Carl's Jr was my go to burger back in the early 2000s. They brought back another sourdough sandwich a few years ago and it was also good but unfortunately that's also discontinued.
The sourdough from Jack in the Box is close but with the lack of lettuce and onions feels a little dry.
Holy shit i remember that one!!! It was the last time I remember actually having a really good burger at a fast food place like McD. You from Germany? This mustve been more than 10 yrs ago right?

I can't find Starbucks ginger molasses cookies, although technically they're still sold? I could fly to Seattle I guess.
McDonalds pre 90s fries, McDonalds fried apple and cherry pies, McDonalds pre-90s shakes, Dairy Queen's Queen burger, Sonics pre 2000s burgers and the Sonic fish sandwich.
I feel like Iβm cursed or McDβs is taking a huge nose dive. I havenβt had a good, hot, not-soggy, salty McDonalds french fry in like 2-3 years. Every time I go, the fries are super gross. Iβve taken several road trips and the only consistency Iβve experienced is how terrible the fries have been.
Always ask for fresh fries if you're not in a hurry. If its a rush you don't need to worry about it, but that guarantees you'll get them crispy and as good as they'll ever be...

80's-90's McDonald's apple danish
At McDonalds in India, there was a chocolate thick shake. It was basically chocolate shake that was frozen. It was served from a softie-machine of sorts. I had to suck the straw so effing hard to have 1 sip of the shake.
I used to buy it and let it melt for a while , just so that I can drink it through straw.
They discontinued it. Idk why.
McDonald's Grilled Chicken Flatbread. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one that remembers them, but they were so delicious around 2003 or 2004, can't really remember anymore.
Mcdonald's chicken selects! And by extension the snack wraps. Also their very limited basket of fries. I feel like I might be the only person who even remembers it.
The fajitas at McDonald's. They were decent for the price.
Taco Bell mexi nuggets I think they called them, they were just tater tots with taco seasoning I think but they were the bomb.
The Wendy's 4-Alarm Spicy Chicken Sandwich.
Jalapeno rings at del taco.
Sliced jalapeno, breaded and fried. Served with a ranch-esqe sauce.
Simple and so fucking delicious.
