All the fast food favorites gone from the menus

Fast food menus are constantly changing, and while many delicious food chains have aired some delicious meals, others have cut a few favorite dishes.

Like fashion, the fast food industry moves fast, and sometimes that means some beloved dishes are on the chopping block.

Restaurants also often cut their serving list in half as they try to cut costs.

Recently, beloved food giant McDonald’s temporarily closed all of its US offices in preparation to share layoff notices with employees across the country.

After the fast food giant hinted that they would take a closer look at the menu items they may miss, FEMAIL has exposed the other instances where foodies were sent into a state of desperation when they were no longer able to order their favorite meal.

Customers said the grilled chicken sandwich had a “burnt rubber” consistency.

The sandwich was removed from the menu along with the other items during the pandemic.

Speaking at a virtual conference, CEO Chris Kempczinski said, “We will definitely be adding things to the menu. Whether it goes all the way back to where we were pre-COVID, I think that’s probably unlikely.

No healthy options here! McDonald’s is removing all salads from its menu

Salads have never been more popular among food fanatics in the fast food chain, so it’s no surprise that they’ve been dropped from the menu.

The healthier options were not a favorite meal for customers, so the restaurant chose to remove them entirely.

In a statement to Business InsiderBill Garrett, McDonald’s Senior Vice President of Operations, said: “To simplify operations in our kitchens and for our crew and to ensure the best possible experience for our customers, we are working with our franchisees and local restaurants to focus on serving our most popular choices and will begin temporarily removing some items from the menu.”

Foodies were devastated and begged Burger King to bring them back, but they seem to be gone for good.

Marketing isn’t always enough, McDonald’s Arch Deluxe burger was a big one even though it had a $150 million marketing budget
