restaurants. These are just a few of those times where fast food restaurants

went

too far when trying to create unique menu items. Carl's JR Most American Thickburger Carl's JR's Most American Thickburger seems to have been created by someone who threw everything he could find in his pantry onto a burger and gave it a name.

For those who haven't tried this burger and for those who haven't heard of it before, let me break it down for you. The most American thick burger is a burger with the usual lettuce, ketchup, pickles, and other toppings, but with a few extra items you probably wouldn't have thought of putting on a burger. The Most American Thickburger also comes with a halved hot dog on top of the rest of the items inside the burger, along with Lay's cooked fries. You heard right, it's a hamburger that has a hot dog and fries. This combination is strange and very unnecessary in all aspects.

The old adage of less is more seems to apply in this situation, with many customers commenting that the three different flavors of hot dog, fries, and hamburger all in one prove to be too much for one sandwich, and who can blame them? While hot dogs, hamburgers, and fries can be very tasty on their own, mixing the three seems a little ridiculous. All in all, this burger

went

too far and should never have been made available to the public as an actual menu item. KFC Double Down Dog Sometimes fast food restaurants make some menu items that are more about trying to create a trend and make more money than offering their customers something reasonable to eat, KFC is no different.

It all started with the original KFC Double Down sandwich, which was a sandwich that omitted the bread and replaced it with chicken. The original Double Down is two pieces of KFC fried chicken with bacon, cheese and sauce between them. This article alone sounds exaggerated, but KFC does not share that opinion, for them it was not enough. For those who aren't satisfied with chicken as a vehicle to put bacon and cheese in your mouth, you can take it a step further with the Double Down Dog. This KFC menu item takes the regular version of the KFC Double Down and adds a hot dog between the two pieces of fried chicken.

As if eating nothing but fried chicken with cheese, sauce, and bacon wasn't enough, adding a hot dog to the mix really makes this KFC menu item completely unnecessary. Some customers even reported feeling sick shortly after eating Double Down Dog, likely due to the sheer amount of fat the food contains. Starbucks Unicorn Frappucino Starbucks' Unicorn Frappucino really blew up on social media in the spring of 2017, the colors created a really cool image, and social media influencers definitely took advantage of that fact during the heyday of this drink. In reality, many consumers reported that it really didn't taste that good, some saying it tasted like birthday cake with a bitter taste and that Starbucks baristas hated making it.

It was also criticized by health organizations for the absolutely ridiculous amount of sugar this drink contained. A 24-ounce Unicorn Frappucino contained 76 grams of sugar, which is at least 40 grams more than the recommended daily sugar intake for the average person. The multicolored drink looked great for photos, but this particular Starbucks creation took it too far with the amount of empty calories and sugar in even one of these drinks. Despite the obvious general health reasons to avoid this drink, it was very popular and even mainstream media reported on this multicolored fad, even if its popularity was based primarily on its appearance rather than its taste.

Arby's Arbynator Arby's has found a way to pair your sandwich with your side and it's called the Arbynator. The Arbynator is a simple concept: You take a regular Arby's roast beef sandwich and add all of their most popular sauces: Cheddar sauce, Arby's sauce, and Horsey sauce, but it doesn't just end up in a pile of roast beef with three sauces. This over-the-top sandwich also includes a stack of their signature curly fries between the buns, so now you can eat both your sandwich and your fries in one sitting. This roast beef monstrosity also comes in half-pound and double sizes in case a regular-sized roast beef sandwich with curly fries wasn't enough for you.

This article is probably unnecessary for a multitude of reasons, but the most obvious reason is that you could easily make the combo yourself if you really wanted to, by simply ordering your Arby's sandwich of choice, turning it into a combo with curly fries and sticky pasta. your fries in the sandwich. If you really want fries on your sandwich, making it yourself will allow you to create your own fries and sandwich combinations with any Arby's sandwich available. In the end, there really was no real reason for Arby's to put it on the menu. Burger King Beef Stuffed Burger This was a limited time menu item offered by Burger King, and it's exactly what the name suggests, a burger made with a patty stuffed with other ingredients.

The burger was filled with cheese and jalapenos and promised a lot of flavor to consumers. According to several customer reviews, the burger itself was quite delicious and they seemed to have delivered on their promise of a new and tasty burger, but the fact that this is a burger that is literally stuffed with a ton of cheese makes it a one-off. little too lenient. Cheese has been used on sandwiches for a long time and has always worked well as a topping in the traditional sense, but there's really no reason to stuff it into the burger instead of just putting it on top with the rest of the burger. ingredients.

Even though the traditional way of putting cheese on a burger seemed to work well, Burger King decided to go one step further and put it on the burger. Although it doesn't seem like a necessary thing, it seemed to work for the fast food chain, and many customers really enjoyed the pepper and cheese-stuffed burger. Sometimes things that were taken too far, like the meat-stuffed burger, can end up doing well at fast food restaurants even though the item is something super extra. Taco Bell Naked Chicken Chalupa Taco Bell is known for some of its most innovative menu options, including everything from French toast instead of tacos to Doritos-flavored tacos, but one of the most original menu options was the Chalupa De Naked Chicken.

This limited-time menu option swapped out the classic taco for a taco-shaped piece of fried chicken. This meant you could order a taco-shaped piece of fried chicken with taco fillings piled inside. Not only has Taco Bell offered this menu option on more than one occasion, but they have also offered more than one version, including a spicy option for those who would like to spice up their Naked Chicken Chalupa. I think it's easy to see why this fast food item went too far: having a piece of fried chicken surrounding the already unhealthy taco fillings that Taco Bell offers simply makes it much worse for the consumer.

As over-the-top as this menu item is, it has proven to be quite popular considering Taco Bell has brought the item back for a limited time on more than one occasion. Some people seem to love that their taco fillings are stuffed into a fried chicken taco shell, and while to many of us this may seem unnecessary, it's proven to be at least popular enough for Taco Bell to bother releasing it. more than once. Lucky Charms Shake As if the sugar content of Lucky Charms cereal wasn't high enough, Burger King decided to add the popular breakfast cereal to a shake.

In early 2017, the fast-food chain added the Lucky Charms shake to its menu for a limited time, and it's exactly what it sounds like: a shake made with soft-serve vanilla ice cream and Lucky Charms cereal bits mixed in, along with a sweet treat. Syrup is added to increase the sugary flavor of the drink. With this Burger King menu item, you not only get the large amounts of sugar found in the cereal, but you also get a lot of additional sugar from the ice cream and syrup that are added. This shake is absolutely ridiculous, and although the cereal is loved by all types of people, and Burger King claimed that it performed well in their consumer tests, this shake did not turn out to be as popular as they expected.

Consumers gave the limited-edition shake some bad reviews, meaning that not only was it a completely over-the-top addition to the menu, but Burger King customers didn't even like it. Taco Bell Firecracker Burrito This limited-time offer from Taco Bell doesn't seem crazy at all when you start listing the ingredients: ground beef, rice, cheese, sour cream, and hot sauce. Those ingredients sound like a normal burrito, definitely something that appeals to those who like the spicier things in life, but when you hear the special ingredient in this burrito, you'll realize how over the top it really is. Taco Bell decided that the missing ingredient in this dish was cayenne pepper flavored Pop Rocks.

That's right, cayenne-flavored Pop Rocks, someone at Taco Bell decided that spicy Pop Rocks in a burrito were a necessary item that needed to be added to the menu, even if temporarily and only at a few select locations. Dubbed "Cayenne Crystals" by Taco Bell, they were a spicy twist on Pop Rocks, which came in a small package along with the meal. The expectation was that you should sprinkle the Pop Rock knockoffs on your burrito to add a little more crunch and that cayenne pepper flavor to what is basically a regular burrito. It wasn't a very popular menu item because honestly it sounds weird, so it's understandable that it didn't sell as well as Taco Bell probably hoped.

Tim Hortons Buffalo Flavored Latte Tim Hortons is a huge coffee chain that is primarily known in Canada, but has slowly made its way into other countries as well. Generally, their menu items aren't very strange, some of them aren't for everyone, but for the most part they are just normal coffee and donut additives. From time to time, they get a little more adventurous with their new foods and drinks, and it doesn't always turn out well. You'd think they'd know not to release some of the menu items they've tried, but sometimes companies just don't seem to understand their consumer base and get it completely wrong when it comes to some of their ideas.

An example is their Buffalo flavored latte. This limited-time drink was a little too out of the ordinary for most, consisting of steamed milk, freshly poured espresso, and buffalo sauce flavor, not exactly most people's idea of ​​a delicious morning drink. It wasn't well received by consumers and for good reason, I don't think anyone ever wanted a buffalo sauce flavored latte. McDonald's McLobster When people think of lobster, especially when they don't live on the coast, they tend to think of more expensive, fancier restaurants; Not many people think about McDonald's. The fast food giant attempted to change the way consumers thought about lobster, introducing its version of seafood with the McLobster, which was a lobster roll served on a bun similar to a hot dog bun and what they called lobster sauce. lobster.

As you can probably guess, this menu item didn't do well for the company, the cost of sourcing the lobster turned out to be more of a challenge than they thought, and along with general supply issues, the Mclobster didn't go as planned. This menu item was not profitable in most locations, so McDonald's made the decision to stop offering it everywhere at any time and instead decided to offer it only in coastal areas during the summer, where lobster It would be abundant and cheaper to obtain. The Mclobster was very unnecessary since most people don't usually go to the local McDonald's for lobster.

McDonald's didn't really think things through much when they tried to offer this menu item, meaning that instead of creating a popular new fast food trend, they ended up losing money and having to remove it from their menus, except in very select locations at very select times. concrete.
