In 1992, McDonald’s made its biggest mistake when it switched from fried apple pies to baked apple pies. If we’re going to get an apple pie from a fast-food joint, at least make it worth our while.

Once in a blue moon, McDonald’s brings these back to its menu. You might think this is a bit out of the box, but it works.

In the late 70s, Taco Bell wasn’t really thinking “outside the bun” when it introduced the beefer, which was basically a sloppy joe.

If you were around in the 70s, you may remember this item on McDonald’s short-lived “dinner menu.” If you’re interested, you can still dig into some McSpaghetti internationally.

The McDonald’s Arch Deluxe was mouth-watering. It was basically a quarter-pounder with a delightful circle of peppered bacon and a special mustard and mayo sauce. Unfortunately, it did not do well.

The Dairy Queen Breeze was on DQ menus from 1990-2000. It was basically a blizzard with froyo instead of regular ice cream. Why the heck would DQ ever remove this delicious treat from its menu? The world may never know.

McPizza was introduced to the world in 1989, but was very short lived. I never tried it, but it looks rather tasty judging by the picture.
