Chomp! I know they weren't real ribs.... Hell, I don't think they were real meat.<BR/><BR/>Best weird product?<BR/>The Shamrock Shake!<BR/>Ohhhhhh yeahhhhhh!Ink and Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398007004793064711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16217666.post-1126810324108213102005-09-15T11:52:00.000-07:002005-09-15T11:52:00.000-07:00I remember the Burger King Tacos... yeesh! They w...I remember the Burger King Tacos... yeesh! They were frightening. <BR/><BR/>I wasn't too excited with the Burger King chicken fries. But I go nuts over their regular chicken sandwiches. And now they have a triple whopper along with their enormous omelet sandwich... oh my sweet lord! Burger King wants to kill us all! <BR/><BR/>McDonalds has a way with putting regional foods in certain areas, like the cheesesteak in Philly. In Boston, they actually put out lobster roll sandwiches in the summer. They weren't bad, but I had much better up there. And on occasion, McDonalds has tried pizza. You see how that has worked. <BR/><BR/>In the early 90's, McD's did a burger in Boston called the "Big 33" in honor of Larry Bird, which was a basic quarter pounder with a few extra fixings that Larry liked. That was a good burger. <BR/><BR/>Don't forget one of the worst failed gimmicks of all time... the McDonald's Arch Deluxe, which actually wasn't too bad of a burger, but the heavy marketing push failed. Nice try alienating kids, which is your biggest target audience. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Wendy's has had so many gimmicks with their chicken sandwiches, and all of them seemed to work. It's like they rotated them in. The one gimmick I remember that didn't have staying power was their "Superbar", which was an extended salad bar. I liked it, but you don't see those around anymore. Probably a cost issue. <BR/><BR/>Here's a few more gimmicks I remember that aren't around.<BR/><BR/>- KFC no skin chicken... Magic Johnson did the commercials. Maybe that's why you don't see it as part of their menu anymore. <BR/><BR/>- McRib sandwich... now that was a tasty sandwich. It actually makes a rare appearance every now and then. <BR/><BR/>- McDLT... keeps the hot side hot and the cool side cool... and no one gave a shit.The Revhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573551553863558468noreply@blogger.com
