Super-Sized fries and coke still exist, no? But most cashier just don't ask if you want it, you have to ask it yourself.

I don't think so. Now the biggest you can get is "Large." They probably don't bother correcting people when they ask for super-size, though.

 

[Purexed]

Man, the bun and sauce on that Arch Deluxe was soooo good. Good times eating that while playing Mortal Kombat 2 on SNES...

 

[Karkador]

I had a Texas 2 burger in Japan. That was one of the best experiences I've ever had at a McDonalds.

 

[painey]

im sure super sized does still exist in america. whenever i've gotten a large drink from mcdonalds and i go to get a lid, there is always one that is too big even for my large cup

 

[Snytbaggen]

Bin 'N tasty was a failure? Strange, since you can get one pretty much everywhere around here...

 

[Oni Jazar]

Wasn't the Big N' Tasty $0.99 for a while?

I lived on that & $0.99 fries (& free water) for a whole year.

The bun was made with potato bread. You can buy potato buns in some stores, they're damn good for homemade hamburgers.

 

[Parallax]

I'm actually suprised mighty wings didn't make the list. Those things were advertised like crazy here for a while and just dissapeared.

 

[BY2K]

Did anybody tried the 1967 Burger yet?

 

[Nemo]

McAfrika

Has to be a joke. I refuse to believe this.

 

[blackflag]

MCDLT was the shit. McLean was ok.

The pizza, not the pocket one, was good too. I had it once.

Haven't eaten at McDonald's in like 15 years though except like once in Korea.

 

[Demy]

That Arch Deluxe sounds mighty tasty. Clyde is this aimed at me since I told everyone i like Cracked articles?

 

[Odrion]

Arch Deluxe was awesome. And as a kid seeing those commercials made me want to buy the burger because it would mean I was more mature.

Can't believe it bombed. I would've thought there would be other kids who'd share the same sort of mindset and get suckered in.

Not to mention that it was a damn quality burger.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

I loved the Arch Deluxe

Me too. Greatest McDonalds sandwich (other than the Egg McMuffin) ever. Sad that it was so short lived. Funny fact about myself, I have never gotten anything other than an Egg McMuffin Meal (with Hi-C Orange) since I was a little kid. I have no idea what a McGriddle tastes like.

 

[andymcc]

It only tastes good because you think it is expensive.

yeah ok.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Does anyone remember the Larry Bird Big Mac? It was on a hoagie with 4 burgers on it. Shit was delicious and one of the reasons I was a fat kid.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Oh, yeah. And the McJordan.

 

[ZeroGravity]

I loved their Pizza. I think it lasted longer in Canada than the US.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Oh, yeah. And the McJordan.

Reading this is giving me nostalgia.

I had a Texas 2 burger in Japan. That was one of the best experiences I've ever had at a McDonalds.

McD's in Japan has some freaking awesome chicken items on their list nowadays.

 

[GhostRidah]

My mind is blown about the super size, I thought you could still get that lol

 

[3N16MA]

Has to be a joke. I refuse to believe this.

They tried it twice.

 

[Dresden]

What happened to the steak 'n egg bagel, by the way? Haven't seen that in years.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Very interesting. The Pizza Pocket like item actually looks damn good. Some of those I totally remember too.

When it comes to the Mc Rib they really just need to make it an every day item. It sucks when it comes back for a short time and they get swarmed it becomes almost impossible to get one.

 

[Dan Yo]

Their marketing for the Arch Deluxe must've been very effective because I was certain it still existed before seeing these articles. As I recall it was one of their better burgers.

Aside from that one I can't really recall anything other than the Big 'n' Tasty and the Super Size.

 

[adamsappel]

I hate the new "southern" chicken they have for the sandwich and biscuit. Prior to that, they had a great spicy chicken patty that I would often have on a breakfast biscuit. I can remember when I took a bite of the new style patty (that they never even announced as changing) and the contrast was so extreme I thought I'd gotten a rotten one and nearly puked.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

The Arch Deluxe was my favorite

 

[johnsmith]

What happened to the steak 'n egg bagel, by the way? Haven't seen that in years.

Might be a regional item. I just had one a few weeks ago.



The McDonalds here also sell 50 nuggets for $9.99. I've been meaning to get it and see how many I can eat.

 

[NomarTyme]

Big and tasty was my favorite.

 

[DR3AM]

Big n' Tasty was the shit when I was in High School. It was only $0.99.

 

[Hellsing321]

They canceled the Big n' Tasty? Fuckers! I haven't been in a McDonalds in a couple years but thats what I would always order.

 

[Stet]

I loved their Pizza. I think it lasted longer in Canada than the US.

It must have because that's all I ever remember getting as a kid. Best thing on the menu, in my opinion.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

Isn't the Big ‘N Tasty still around in the UK as the "Big Tasty", or is this a different burger (not familiar with the US version)?

 

[Hellsing321]

Looking at the picture its a different burger. Big N Tasty didn't have cheese on it.

 

[diddles]

now i feel like an idiot for asking to get my stuff super-sized for the past 7 years

haha. i loved the supersized fry box, with the big yellow bonus meter top.

oh and what happened to the mcdonald's cherry pie? they used to have them and i loved them. now it's always just apple pie.

 

[Fixed1979]

But what a commercial it had.

Fuck these are awesome commercials.

 

[B!TCH]

They tried it twice.

Jesus Christ.

 

[sprsk]

I was looking for the Arch Deluxe dance on youtube, but I couldn't find it. I did find this though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDieJXlhtWU


The Deluxe was an dance sent to McDonalds stores with the intent to teach employees how to do it, it was apparently awful.

 

[NeoUltima]

They tried it twice.

Wtf name, but did it taste good?

 

[Recon]

Best thing ever at McD.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

There's still a place here that have the Big Xtra. I still can't believe they cut it.

the big tasty is amazing, so big i can never eat any chips(fries) with it

 

[Mockingbird]

Wait. Isn't Super-size back now but just under a different name?

 

[dabig2]

Super-size defined my childhood and adolescence. Shit was so good. I'm still pissed they got rid of it. Wouldn't call it a failure either. All that money they made off of it for 11 years doesn't disappear after all.

 

[MatthewB92]

What about the mozzarella sticks they had for like 4 months? They were good.

 

[BY2K]

The Angus Mushroom & Swiss is god-like. So good.

 

[Retro]

What about the mozzarella sticks they had for like 4 months? They were good.

That reminds me, Burger King had some great Mozzarella Sticks too, 1999-2000'ish. I would get them for lunch all the time when I worked near a BK.

 

[frankie_baby]

that sounds nice

 

[Red]

McAfrica looks great, but why market it with that name?

I remember the Arch Deluxe, was pretty young when they were around though. Never really liked the Big N Tasty. Big Mac is way better (and way better than Whoppers too... why do people like soggy mayo-burgers so much?), it's certainly one of the tastiest fast food sandwiches.

The Angus burgers are awful. Just awful. Terrible flavor, somehow worse than those 1/8 inch patties on the McDouble.

 

[Big-E]

Absolutely adored the Arch Deluxe, Big Extra (what we called the Big N Tasty in Canada) and the pizza they made at McDonalds. Fuck everybody for losing me these items.
