Fast food items have the ability to become major hits like the Big Mac or the Baconator however sometimes the choices fast-food restaurants make are more flopper than whopper what did you get that gave it to me here are some of those very epic fails the 10 biggest fast-food failures of all time long john silver's big catch meal welcome aboard the ship of this seafood monstrosity was added to the Long John Silver's menu in 2013 it contained a 7.5 ounce piece of haddock served with a pile of onion rings and a side of hush puppies Long John Silver's described the meal as the largest fish we have ever offered and claimed it was a game-changer the big catch meal was launched in May and was discontinued by August of that same year due to a significant backlash it turns out that Long John Silver's was also serving up a shockingly unhealthy amount of calories and fat the big catch meal contained more trans fats and the average person should eat in two weeks a lot of this was attributed to the fact that these items were cooked up in a big vat of partially hydrogenated frying oil by the end of 2013 Long John Silver's agreed to look into new oil for their fryers that would replace hydrogenated oil in their restaurants this meal was actually panned as the worst restaurant meal in America by the Center for Science and the public interest well that's hardly the image we want for Long John Silver's Pizza Hut's gourmet rebrand gourmet cooking for you Pizza Hut is basically known for serving greasy cheesy pizza but in 2014 after declining sales they decided they wanted to appeal to foodie Millennials and updated their menu to include new artisan options they dubbed this rebrand flavor of now some of these artisan toppings included honey sriracha sauce Peruvian cherry peppers and Asiago crust the company even reached out to some of the more trendy food trucks in New York City to help suggests many flavors and items that would appeal to the hip foodies out there expecting someone with some sort of vehicle though not this however at the end of May 2014 the CEO of Pizza Hut's parent company Yum Brands incorporated admitted at a conference in New York City that the rebrand was not working that's a terrible call what was once referred to as the biggest rebrand in the company's history was now the biggest flaw they'd seen at least in a long time it turns out that they neglected one major thing their target audience just wanted cheap greasy pizza within a year Pizza Hut ended up making a complete reversal back to their original menu McDonald's Pizza big jaws has lots stuff for dinner like you family size pizzas with the rise of pizza chains at this time the company decided it wanted to tap into this corner of the dinner food market and introduced their own pizza by the early 1990s McDonald's implemented it in a portion of their Canadian and American locations Pizza time however there were a lot of complications that came with this decision first there was an equipment issue the McDonald's Pizza required a new oven to cook which was designed to quickly cook pizza dough from frozen within six minutes [Music] it meant that every single restaurant location would have to obtain a new oven and find room for it in their kitchen next there was a drive-thru issue the box is designed for the pizza didn't fit through the window which meant that they had to be expanded that called for more renovations the pizza also took a total of 11 minutes to cook and prepare which is way too long to keep up with drive-through times people frequently had to pull over and wait a long time for their pizzas not only was this a flop but it a girder pizza chains and prompted them to create smear campaign style ads against McDonald's that was like watching Ronald not on eat a cheeseburger off the grimace Burger Kings Halloween whopper gene Suzie flavorful with just a hint oh wow in 2015 Burger King was consumed by the Halloween spirit it resulted in the Halloween whopper being added to the menu it was your average whopper but it was served on a spooky black bun to achieve the dark hue the buns were infused with a1 steak sauce the burger itself also came in a cute mummy themed wrapper as an added bonus it turns out that the burger was more nightmare-inducing than anticipated welcome to my world customers began to report that the black whopper was turning their poop green and not just any green neon green the reason for this was the dye in the sauce however according to some nutritionists a typical serving of a1 steak sauce doesn't contain enough dye to have this effect the consensus was that Burger King was clearly using a concentrated version in their buns now the green poop wasn't really a health hazard it just came as more of a shock to people who were not mentally prepared for the experience Domino's Oreo dessert pizza cookies the best 2007 was an interesting year I phone for 399 you could order a giant Pizza sized cookie from Domino's it was served as an Edition with any purchase the Oreo dessert pizza consisted of a warm giant chocolate chip cookie slathered in Oreos and super sweet sticky vanilla syrup most people agreed that this concoction was way too sweet and also too chewy according to some reviews the cookie portion was also pretty bland it's that signature creamy filling that we really care about so when you take it out of the equation it's not the same overall it was unappealing and didn't last very long on the menu while Domino's has developed a substantial reputation for affordable pizza delivery over the years it has never really been known for its deserts it seems as though they've taken the hint after trying to launch other types of dessert pizzas over the years the company has seemingly decided to stick with brownies Cinna Stix and lava cake for the time being eat a pizza once in a while McDonald's spaghetti McDonald's new pasta dinners with your favorite meatballs in the 1970s McDonald's decided to develop mix spaghetti the dish was long spaghetti noodles covered in marinara sauce topped with shredded cheese and served in a cardboard container in the late 1980s and early 1990s McDonald's decided to give it another try they launched mix spaghetti in some locations across the United States mostly the south don't you like spaghetti and meatballs huh this time they tried a few varieties including lasagna and fettuccine alfredo these products were launched in those locations to be tested over the course of a year but like the mick pizza people do not go to McDonald's for Italian food this item was taken off the menu pretty quickly still McDonald's did try to bring back their mix spaghetti in other locations around the world you can try it yourself but you have to go to the Philippines to get it out of you Burger Kings satis fries it's time to get satisfied in 2013 Burger King decided they needed to cater to a more health-conscious audience in North America and decided that the best way to do this was to release healthier fries hmm this organic the Burger King saddest fries were made with a type of batter that was designed to absorb less of the frying oil this way they wouldn't contain as much fat as regular fries the results were fries that were only four grams less in fat than the regular fries and still contained 270 calories in a small serving only about 70 calories less than regular fries according to some reports many customers started calling them saddest fries let's face it when you're hungry for french fries you don't care about calorie content I want high cholesterol I would and butter and buckets of cheese okay because you know you're not making a healthy choice to begin with for example even though McDonald's has released a lot of healthier options their biggest sellers are still french fries and burgers Burger King's top seller is still the whopper within a year Burger King started discontinuing these satis fries from their menu and went back to the good old greasy fries people know and love Dairy Queen's Brie's come on I'll treat you to a Dairy Queen just like Burger King Dairy Queen also decided to try to appeal to more health-conscious customers in 1990 Dairy Queen launched the breeze it was basically a blizzard made from frozen yogurt instead of ice cream it lasted about a decade before the company finally pulled the plug and discontinued it not like this the problem was that it just didn't sell some employees actually stated that the frozen yogurt supply in the store would often go bad or expire before they could sell any of it one of the issues could be that a frozen yogurt based blizzard still isn't actually healthy especially when you mix in a bunch of candies and chocolates that completely defeat the purpose of a healthier base it was technically lower in calories than a regular blizzard but still had a ton of them when the mix-ins were added or perhaps the problem is that Dairy Queen was too early and they're thinking I really want to sort of make a healthy low-fat or nonfat now frozen yogurt chains are incredibly popular and people enjoy turning to this alternative as a healthier way to enjoy a cool dessert cannot come to Robbie I only have enough money for me and Joe Taco Bell's seafood salad during the 1980s the restaurant chain best associated with stoners and post bar runs decided to try to invent a healthy seafood item to compete with these successful fillet a fish at McDonald's in this vintage commercial for the concoction you can clearly see that they are trashing the competition by implying that ordering fish at a fast food chain isn't real fish ironic pretty good coming from a chain that is constantly under scrutiny for the quality of its beef now the more logical solution to compete with the seafood market would have just been to introduce fish tacos however Taco Bell decided they were going to do something completely different and decided on a salad instead Ron would you like some salad the Taco Bell seafood salad contained a mixture of typical salad vegetables topped with shrimp white fish and snow crab extra toppings also included cheese and olives and in taco bell style the whole thing was served inside an edible taco shell Bowl does anyone really want seafood when they go to Taco Bell it turns out the answer is no because this item was discontinued Wendy's super bar you eat all that I won't when you think of a salad bar and buffet style experience you don't typically think about Wendy's but back in the 80s and 90s they gave it a go with their super bar basically this was a big self-serve buffet bar that featured salads fruit Mexican food and pasta the pasta section included two types of pasta with sauce options and garlic bread made from hamburger buns in the Mexican section where nachos refried beans and a build-your-own taco bar then dessert was a choice between chocolate or vanilla pudding the super bar cost about $2.99 per person about 540 today after inflation which if you ask us is a steal and a lot of other people thought so too in fact so many people loved the idea that Wendy's really couldn't keep up with running a buffet and still preparing their regular orders they now had to do their usual job with the added responsibilities of cleaning restocking and preparing foods for the super bar not to mention it's probably not very profitable to be charging that little when you know that people are going back for as many helpings as they can face deep and abusing that free refill policy by 1998 the super bar was discontinued although some locations still carried it until 2006 this is the gentleman help yourself two seconds and tap that
