s really exist, and in some cases we wish we could tell you they don't. So let's look at 10 Times Fast Food Went Too Far: Part 3. Taco Bell Chocoladilla Oh, Taco Bell. What have you done now? This sickly sweet quesadilla is straight out of any five-year-old's dreams. Which, by default, means it's something out of every parent's nightmares. Instead of being filled with all the usual quesadilla ingredients, like meat and cheese, between the Chocoladilla tortillas you find nothing but Kit-Kats.

Have you ever left a chocolate bar in your car on a hot, sunny day? Well, since this quesadilla is served hot, that's the consistency of the chocolate you'll find inside. It's definitely vying for the spot at the top of the list of the world's messiest foods. In 2016, Taco Bell conducted trials in the United Kingdom for this new food product. Apparently they were considered a success, because Taco Bell brought the Chocoladilla to the US for a limited run in the fall of 2017. It only cost a dollar, which might actually be less than you'd spend on an actual kit .

Kat bar. However, chances are you will regret the decision to spend a little more cash to buy the chocolate bar than the decision to subject yourself to the Cocoladilla. However, Nutella on toast is widely considered a premium break

food, so perhaps the bread and chocolate combination will generalize to

fast

food as well. As they say, don't rule it out until you've tried it. McDonald's Vegan Burger Although more options are being added to the menus little by little, until very recently fast food restaurants have not exactly been the most vegan establishments. Vegans who visited McDonald's were practically limited to salads.

Even McDonald's fries are not strictly vegan. Lately, McDonald's has been testing the waters of plant-based burgers with a creation called the McVegan. Its first test took place in Finland in 2017 and was introduced internationally in 2018. The McVegan has all the fixings of a traditional burger (except cheese, of course), but the beef patty was swapped for a soy fillet. The words "soybean steak" may not mean much to meat eaters, but for anyone following a plant-based diet, the words are music to their ears. No more “I just want the salad, thanks” for vegans and vegetarians. There aren't many options for them yet, but at least now they can enjoy a more complete fast food experience.

As for those who don't eat only plant-based foods, if this sounds appealing to you, why not try something new? But if you prefer to stick to chicken or beef, that's fine too. Either way, it's great to see that McDonald's is trying to be more inclusive of different lifestyles and dietary restrictions. Taco Bell Volcano Crispy Chicken Chips Taco Bell surprises us again with its new Volcano Crispy Chicken Chips. They look like tortilla chips, they are shaped like tortilla chips... but are they tortilla chips? Well, this wouldn't be a very exciting entry if it were. No, these triangular “chips” are actually fried chicken.

It's revolutionary, it's strange, and it's the food we didn't know we needed. These crispy chicken chips are paired with Taco Bell's signature Lava Sauce, a spicy, cheesy condiment that tastes so good you won't mind your mouth burning. Lava sauce has come and gone from the Taco Bell menu in recent years and is usually available with limited edition items. Its combination with Volcano Crispy Chicken Chips was its first appearance in more than two years. By now, we've seen so many absurd foods that dipping fried chicken in spicy cheese shouldn't surprise anyone, but here we are. It's really the fact that Taco Bell is trying to pass off breaded chicken as fries that confuses us the most.

Because they sound like glorified chicken nuggets... but that's beside the point. This food could be purchased in sets of six or twelve, for two and four dollars, respectively. It's not a high price to pay for what could easily become your favorite guilty pleasure food. Taco Bell took Crispy Chicken Chips even further with its Volcano Chickstar, a wrap featuring the new fried creations. If these chips grow, they could really change the entire fast food game. Pickles with sonic pickle juice. One of the most polarizing foods that exist. And if the taste for pickles themselves wasn't controversial enough, some people claim to enjoy the taste of pickle juice.

Now, to each their own and all, but it also seems like this is where we should draw the line. However, it is something that many people enjoy and Sonic Drive-In decided to take advantage of that. If you don't like pickles, this may be a lot, so be prepared. In June 2018, Sonic introduced its Pickle Juice Slush, a bright green, sweet and sour, pickle juice-flavored slush. This is the epitome of fast food taking things too far. Surprisingly, Sonic Drive-In isn't the first to go the pickle route. Several companies and restaurant chains have launched not only various types of pickle-flavored drinks, but even pickle-flavored ice pops.

These drinks are strange, not so much because they incorporate pickles (the food is quite popular) but because they make the pickles the star of the show. Typically, pickles are used as a garnish, such as topping a burger. A food that is based exclusively on pickles is unusual. Nobody can say that this drink is not innovative. Pickles have such a distinctive and strong flavor that we can't help but wonder if this drink might be too much for even the most die-hard pickle fans. Regardless of where you stand on the matter, the pickle trend is very real and doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon.

Popeyes 24 Karat Champagne Chicken Wings In 2018, Popeyes celebrated the opening of its 3,000th restaurant in the most extra way imaginable. The Kardashians have nothing to do with them. For one day only, they served 24K Champagne Chicken Wings. These limited edition wings were the epitome of exclusivity, as they were available in only four locations across the United States, one each in New Jersey, New York, Louisiana, and California. You might be wondering how champagne fits into this picture. It is not usually the preferred drink to accompany chicken wings. Well, the batter that covered these boneless chicken wings actually included champagne.

After all, it is a celebration. Once fried, the wings were coated with a light coating of 24-karat gold flakes. It's so painfully outlandish it's hard to believe, but this is actually something that happened. Surprisingly, this isn't the first time chicken wings have been blown away. Before Popeye's, Jonathan Cheban began serving gold flake-covered chicken wings at The Ainsworth bars. If he had a thousand dollars to spare, he could buy fifty of these wings, along with a bottle of champagne. While you can't get bottle service at Popeye's, getting the golden wings from it wasn't a big hit to your wallet.

The 24K Champagne Wings were sold as

part

of Popeye's Boneless Bash combo, meaning you could get six wings, along with a cookie and a side of your choice, for just five dollars. It was easy to miss these wings, so here's hoping they bring them back to celebrate the opening of their 4,000th location, whenever that may be. KFC Waffle Double Down One of KFC's most popular, but controversial, foods is the Double Down, a sandwich that replaces the buns with two chicken patties. While this product is polarizing enough on its own, several KFCs around the world took inspiration from America's Double Down to create their own even more impactful variations.

The Philippines has the Double Down Dog, Korea has the Zinger Double Down King, and in 2018, Canada brought us the Waffle Double Down Sandwich. In typical Double Down fashion, the Waffle Double Down Sandwich's buns are swapped for two fried chicken burgers. Among them you will find a Belgian waffle. As for condiments, the waffle was topped with Canadian maple aioli sauce. Oh, Canada. Stay true to stereotypes, as always. Well, you can't say that KFC Canada hasn't made this burger their own. The Double Down Waffle took a long time to arrive. The original Double Down was one of the most requested items at KFC Canada locations, but many customers had also been asking if a food item featuring the famous chicken and waffle combo would be added to the menu anytime soon.

You can't say that KFC doesn't give the people what they want. Combining these two highly demanded foods was great. Absolutely strange, but cool. As for the maple sauce, KFC might as well have stamped the phrase "Made in Canada" on the bottom of each burger, right? Taco Bell Naked Egg Taco Taco Bell is known for going above and beyond when it comes to tacos. They once used a piece of fried chicken. This time they opted for something a little more refined. That's a fried egg. The Naked Egg Taco can be found on their breakfast menu and it actually looks... quite beautiful.

The perfectly fried egg is folded to mimic the appearance of a taco and loaded with potatoes, sausage, cheese, and bacon. That's one way to get your protein fix. The launch of this food was so publicized that you could even reserve a table specifically to try it. Restaurants in Chicago, Laguna Beach, Austin, and New York

part

icipated in this promotion, allowing many Taco Bell fans across the country to celebrate the debut of the Naked Egg Taco. The price of this unique product is quite reasonable. It only costs just two dollars, and in a breakfast combo with a coffee, two Cinnabon Delights or a hash brown, it comes out to four dollars.

While this item seems a little strange, adding it to their breakfast menu was a smart move on Taco Bell's part. Breakfast foods, especially at fast food establishments, usually include some type of bread or pastries. It's difficult for anyone with gluten intolerance to find quick and cheap on-the-go breakfasts, so innovations like this give them convenient options. Eggs are also loaded with protein, so this taco will give you long-lasting satisfaction to get you through your busy mornings. Pair it with a coffee and you'll be ready to conquer the day. Pizza Hut with cheeseburger crust. This Pizza Hut creation is ridiculously aesthetically pleasing.

Between the shape and the colors it looks like a work of art. Bring all the Instagrams. They say don't mess with perfection, but that's exactly what Pizza Hut did. They decided to reinvent their pizza base by adding (wait for it) ten mini burgers on the outside. The beef patties are almost folded into the crust, which protrudes from the circumference of the pizza like the petals of a flower. Like the rest of the pizza, the burgers are topped with cheese, which has been melted to gooey perfection. As unappetizing as it may seem, you might still think it might be fun to try, just for a laugh, right?

Think again: a large one will cost you about thirty dollars. What's a little awkward about this pizza is that Pizza Hut is basically copying their own idea. Not long before the launch of the cheeseburger crust pizza in the United States, Pizza Hut locations in the Middle East launched the cheeseburger crust pizza. You don't need to describe the latter in detail, because it is literally identical to the former. Cheeseburger crust pizza is marketed as "all fun without the bread," but it feels like a stomach ache waiting to happen, which is probably universally accepted as not anyone's idea of ​​fun.

This pizza is just confusing because with the way it's designed, you'd probably end up eating the pizza and the burger separately, so why bother? Sometimes more is not better. KFC Fried Salmon KFC Japan is going off-brand and putting chicken on the back burner to offer customers some exciting seasonal specials. Japan has a lot of seasonal food; It's one of the ways restaurants attract customers. KFC decided to try its hand at this marketing technique and welcomed fall with two new additions to its menu. The topic? Fried salmon. For less than four dollars you can buy a fried salmon sandwich that, in addition to a panko-breaded salmon fillet, contains lettuce, tartar sauce and basil sauce.

All of this is sandwiched between two incredibly soft and fluffy white buns. The other novelty is a simple fried salmon fillet. Like the steak in the sandwich, it's topped with panko breadcrumbs. It cooks as well as any fried chicken you can get in the market.fast food chain; Crispy on the outside, but still soft on the inside. The condiment chosen for this product is tartar sauce, which is also used in the sandwich. The main reason this dish is so jarring is that salmon is universally recognized as one of the healthiest foods out there. Doctors constantly recommend eating a salmon fillet for dinner.

This is probably not what they were talking about. Fish and chips already exist, so it shouldn't be too difficult to understand, but it still feels strange coming from KFC. It's interesting to see them diversifying into seafood. They've done it before in China, with the shrimp burger, but after so many years of watching KFC produce exclusively chicken, it's natural to be skeptical. Italians are often praised for their delicious foods. Pastas, pizzas, cannoli, ice cream. Sweet or savory, everything is amazing. But have they taken it too far? The country that, during World War II, gave us Nutella, has now done the unspeakable.

They put it on a hamburger. SweetyNutella rip-off is a new dessert on the McDonald's menu, available only in Italy. It's a simple burger. Just two classic buns, filled with a thick layer of everyone's favorite chocolate-hazelnut spread. It's reminiscent of Taco Bell's Chocoladilla, which isn't necessarily a compliment. The Nutella burger is designed to look like it contains a beef patty, but fear not, there are no unwanted surprises waiting inside. It's just pure chocolate goodness. Talk about carbs on carbs on carbs. The packaging on the Sweety with Nutella is just like any other McDonald's burger, which is actually a really nice touch.

This burger seems a little unnecessary, since you could easily make it at home if you wanted. And did the world really need a burger for dessert? We could question McDonald's decisions all day. Instead, we'll accept the existence of this burger and move on. Hamburger buns are usually paired with savory fillings, so it's strange to see them used in a desert. It's perfectly understandable if you plan to skip this new creation and order a McFlurry for dessert. Sometimes the old guys are actually the good guys. While some people prefer to stick with the classic Nutella on toast, if you're feeling adventurous, treat yourself to this chocolate sandwich.
