00:00Hi everybody, it's me, Tim, and today I'm doing a reaction to you.

00:07Top 20 McDonald's menu item fails.

00:11McDonald's don't fail, they do the best chicken nuggets in the world.

00:15So I'm gonna have a look and see what fails they do.

00:19Not all fast foods are created equal, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 failed McDonald's

00:25products.

00:26Number 20, McSalad Shakers.

00:27We commend McDonald's for trying to offer their customers more healthy menu options.

00:31A salad at McDonald's.

00:35Behave yourself.

00:36Diners were invited to pick one of three options, chef, Caesar, or garden salad.

00:41Add the dressing, and then in an admittedly fun bit of product packaging, cover and shake the domed cup in

00:46which the salads were served.

00:47Number 19, we've seen McDonald's make countless attempts at a premium burger.

00:51They're rarely long for this world, but the Arch Deluxe was an especially colossal flop.

00:55Introducing the burger with the grown-up taste.

00:58Burgers for grown-ups.

01:00What's the difference?

01:01It insinuates that all the other burgers people have been enjoying are for kids.

01:05I'm in the zone.

01:06All layered together in one symphony of taste.

01:09Today, it's remembered as one of the company's most expensive mishpires.

01:13America's favorite new burger.

01:14Number 18, McGrattin Croquette.

01:16The familiar frozen fish sticks most people ate as kids.

01:19The best-selling fish sandwich in America.

01:21Tell him your nickname, Henry.

01:23They call me Jaws.

01:24They call me Jaws.

01:26Consists of ground shrimp, mashed potatoes, and deep-fried macaroni.

01:30All mushed together into a patty.

01:32Number 17, Chopped Beefsteak Sandwich.

01:35Prepare to unveil the Chopped Beefsteak Sandwich.

01:38And for the most part, it was deemed delicious.

01:40Many fast foodies lucky enough to try it in the early 80s remember it as one of the greatest sandwiches

01:45to ever touch their palates.

01:46But the steep price made it too hard to swallow.

01:49I love that.

01:50Number 16, Fried Roast Beef Sandwich.

01:53In an effort to compete with Arby's, which was only a few years old at the time,

01:56McDonald's released a roast beef sandwich of their own.

01:59Announcing roast beef on a roll.

02:01And guess what?

02:02People loved it.

02:03Why is it that slow?

02:04So why was it a flop?

02:05Simple economics.

02:08The roast beef was freshly sliced.

02:10And the need to install and operate a meat slicer in every McDonald's proved too inefficient in terms of time,

02:16cost, and profitability.

02:17I could not do that advert with Uncle Barry.

02:21Number 15, Mighty Wings.

02:23So tell me what happened.

02:24We were playing for the Mighty Wings.

02:26More like Mighty Unpopular.

02:28I love chicken wings.

02:29There was nothing spectacularly bad about these wings.

02:32They were just unremarkable.

02:34One bite and you'll never give them up.

02:37New Mighty Wings from McDonald's.

02:39Chicken wings are just amazing.

02:41You can't go wrong with chicken wings.

02:43Number 14, Angus Burgers.

02:46I love that.

02:47Boasting a thick, juicy patty made of pure Angus beef.

02:50It's just a burger then.

02:51The sandwich came in one of four options.

02:54Mushroom and Swiss, bacon and cheese, chipotle barbecue bacon, and wait for it, the Angus Deluxe.

03:00In 2013, the burger was discontinued in the

03:02The Gallagher.

03:03Liam Gallagher, mate.

03:05The United States, though it generally continues to be offered in Canada.

03:09Want a Swiss?

03:10Of course you do.

03:11Number 13, McHot Dog.

03:13Don't hot dogs seem like a guaranteed success for any major fast food franchise?

03:18I'm not a big fan of hot dogs.

03:19Hot dogs are hot again, and they're new at McDonald's.

03:23But time and time again, they just fail to catch on.

03:27Imagine me being that kid doing that advert after watching our hot dogs made.

03:33Nope.

03:34There's even been an attempt to market a chili McHot Dog in Japan.

03:38Ugh, the horror.

03:42That's what I do, eat your dogs.

03:44Number 12, fajitas.

03:46I love fajitas as well.

03:47Fajitas were its big attempt.

03:49A new taste.

03:51Chicken fajitas.

03:53First rolled out in the 90s, McDonald's fajitas consisted of a soft-shell tortilla, grilled vegetables, and chicken.

03:59Most people seemingly found them palatable enough, just unremarkable.

04:02I love Mexican food, but coming to Taco Bell, oh my god.

04:07Number 11, Son of Mac.

04:09Son of Mac.

04:11Sometimes referred to as Baby Mac, this burger is a Big Mac without the second burger patty and middle bun.

04:16Why did I have to call it like the Son of Mac?

04:19Why did you say a little Big Mac?

04:21So, in short, it's pretty much a cheeseburger dressed as a Big Mac.

04:25The thing is, those who want it can already get it by ordering exactly what it is.

04:29A cheeseburger dressed as a Big Mac.

04:31It's one of the most popular off-menu customizations, but McDonald's various attempts over the years to make it official

04:37have just felt really half-hearted in terms of marketing.

04:39It's the taste of a Big Mac in a snack.

04:42Okay.

04:43Number 10, the McLean Deluxe.

04:44We're here because McLean Deluxe is 100% delicious.

04:48The Deluxe line aimed to corner the adult fast food market by presenting an entire line of sophisticated McDonald's products,

04:55including this supposedly healthy, low-fat burger.

04:58It achieved the lower fat content by using about 90% lean beef in its patties and adding water to

05:05replace the missing fat.

05:06It's 91% fat-free, but all people talk about.

05:09It's a big burger taste.

05:11But how would they bind it all together?

05:13Seaweed to the rescue.

05:14It's just salad.

05:16A seaweed extract is a common thickening or binding agent used in the processed food industry.

05:21This dry burger was deemed to be lacking flavor despite flavor additives, thus earned itself the nickname McFlopper.

05:29Number 9, McSpaghetti.

05:32McDonald's tried it in Italy and, unsurprisingly, it bombed.

05:36I'm gonna tell you right now, look at the state of that.

05:41Nothing sells quite like a country's most cherished and widely available dish.

05:44Look at it!

05:45It took too long to prepare, lacked flavor, and simply couldn't satisfy the cravings that drive people to McDonald's in

05:51the first place.

05:52If you got McDonald's, the last thing you want is scare.

05:54Number 8, Onion Nuggets.

05:56Onion Nugget!

05:58The product was essentially McDonald's attempt to make their own unique spin on onion rings, taking small chunks of onion

06:04and battering and deep frying them.

06:05Unfortunately, they were pulled from the menu and are now little more than a footnote in the history of Chicken

06:10McNuggets.

06:13You don't love a Chicken Nugget!

06:15Number 7, Fish McBites.

06:29Fish McBites were served with tartar sauce for dipping.

06:32Fishy fast food often has limited appeal.

06:34And so, the Fish McBites were deemed a failure and pulled from the menu the same year they debuted.

06:39No, it's hot!

06:40Number 6, McSoup.

06:41Available in select markets over the winter months.

06:43Where would you go to McDonald's and ask for soup?

06:45The McSoup came in two varieties, broccoli and cheese and classic chicken noodle.

06:50McDonald's didn't hire a crack team to develop their own instantly recognizable trademark versions of these two soups.

06:55They literally just licensed it from Campbell's.

06:58McDonald's was essentially trying to charge people to heat up soup they could get at the grocery store.

07:03McNo thanks.

07:04McNo thanks!

07:07You cheeky little so-and-sos!

07:10Number 5, Hula Burger.

07:12That's that Hawaiian burger joint.

07:13I hear they got some tasty burgers.

07:15This one was bad.

07:17That is a tasty burger!

07:20The Hula Burger was simply a bad sandwich.

07:23Turns out that the Filet-O-Fish was more desirable than a slice of grilled pineapple and cheese.

07:28The Hula Burger was pulled from restaurants shortly after its debut.

07:32Shouldn't have hot food.

07:33Number 4, McAfrica.

07:35This was a burger wrapped in pita bread, sold exclusively in Norway, and in honor of the Olympics.

07:41But consider the fact that Southern Africa was suffering from one of the worst food shortages in the history of

07:46the region in 2002.

07:48And you'll see that the bad taste wasn't necessarily in the burger itself, but in the choice of name and

07:53timing.

07:53Number 3, McStuffins.

07:55Logic seemed to be that McStuffins eliminated the oh-so-grueling effort of microwaving your hot pocket or other such

08:01savory turnover.

08:02Due to poor sales, the McStuffins were discontinued in 1993, the same year they debuted.

08:08Number 2, the McDLT.

08:10Uh, uh, what do you want, Michael?

08:11A McDLT?

08:12No, I already told you they don't make those anymore.

08:15You know, sometimes it's a regional thing.

08:17We could describe it to you, but we'd rather let Jason Alexander do the talking.

08:21The beach stays hot, the cool stays crisp.

08:24Put it together, you can't resist.

08:26Could be the best lettuce and tomato hamburger ever.

08:28The fact that they went through the trouble, and extra styrofoam, to build this dual-chamber hamburger containment system,

08:34just to keep the tomato and lettuce cool and crisp is commendable, but so unnecessary.

08:40Before we dig into our top pick, here are some honorable, or we guess dishonorable, mentions.

08:46McLobster.

08:46Still available seasonally, but only in select markets.

08:50It's the delicious McLobster.

08:52Get one before they're gone.

08:53I love lobster.

08:56Big and tasty.

08:57Designed to compete with Whopper, but failed.

09:00Introducing the next big thing from McDonald's.

09:03Super-sized items.

09:04An extra-large problem.

09:06They said to make it huge!

09:07It's super-sized!

09:08Now you can super-size your McDonald's extra-value meal.

09:11Spanish omelet breakfast bagel sandwich.

09:13It just didn't have that McDonald's breakfast taste.

09:16Eggs Benedict McMuffin.

09:17Because no one wants McDonald's-made Hollandaise sauce.

09:20Milk.

09:21Before we continue, be sure to subscribe to our channel,

09:24and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos.

09:27Number one.

09:28Pizza and McPizza.

09:29Pocket-style McPizza.

09:31Which failed.

09:32But with their fresh-made oven-baked pizza,

09:35they were going all in.

09:37McDonald's pizza.

09:38La-la-la-la-la McDonald's pizza.

09:40The pizza was relatively well-received,

09:43but the wait time was not.

09:45You're sick to bear, guys.

09:48For a franchise that conquered on a campaign of speedy service,

09:51this was a deal-breaker.

09:53For the first time ever, he'll make dinner for his family.

09:56Pizza was a wrench in the well-greased gears of the McDonald's kitchen.

10:00By the end of the 90s,

10:01the McDonald's pizza dream was essentially dead.

10:05It's all dessert for me, Mom.

10:06I don't deserve it.

10:08Family-sized pepperoni pizza.

10:10It's a parent's dream come true.

10:12I love it, then.

10:14We just looked at the Twitter menu fails from McDonald's.

10:19And I've come to a conclusion.

10:21The reason why they all failed is to support advertising.

10:25Ooh, I've got a burger.

10:26Some of them I still have.

10:27Maybe not the pizza.

10:29Fish bites.

10:31What?

10:31Well, that's me doing the reaction video to McDonald's.

10:35Thank you so much for watching.

10:37I love you.

10:37Bye.

10:38Bye.
