They were actually pretty good especially considering that was back when they would make a bunch of sandwiches and put them in a warming bin until they were ordered. Any lettuce or tomato would turn to slimy goop.

Hirayuki posted:Yeah. I'm old and ate a few of these. They were pretty good, I guess, but then again, I was a kid at the time and had dumb kid tastebuds. And as pentyne pointed out, the "assemble the rest of it yourself" thing doesn't really fly. Imagine trying to eat one of these in traffic: "Y'know what Americans hate? Hot, melty cheese on their burgers!" Honestly I kind of miss these. It was a good way to get homogeneous coverage of salad dressing without tossing it around in those lovely bowls terrified I'm going to spill it all over the place like an idiot moron baby.

I made a bunch of beer-battered deep-fried garlic once (drinking, shut up), and it was AMAZING. I'd be down to try Onion McNuggets

The McDLT is kind of a darling of "the way things use to be"  types.It was killed by the banning of styrofoam packaging.

I find that Wikipedia list of discontinued McDonald's menu items far more interesting than I probably should. And I added to it, because I remember the McDonald's Cuban sandwich.  Those onion nuggets actually sound good, and I'd probably try making them myself if I had a deep fryer.

Wait, you guys unwrap your straws? Shiiiiiiit. The Arch Deluxe was pretty good. That's back when McDonald's wasn't yet total poo poo (or when I was a kid and didn't know any fuckin' better, that's probably it). The Big n' Tasty that replaced it was just generic burgin', I don't care if it was the '90s resurrection of the McDLT.

I liked that place. They are, they got hit hard by the recession, closed a bunch of locations and sold off the company to someone else in 2011 I think. As far as I know they still do the fixin's bar thing...which I also liked, mostly because I could get like a pound of pickles to eat with my burger.

I could go to Hot 'n Now and get a sackfull of 35-cent cheeseburgers, fries, and a drink for 2 days for the cost of an Arch Deluxe. However, it was the "adult" burger and at 16 I felt very grown-up driving my own car through the drivethrough and ordering one.

I know there's none around me, but I one time made a burger with like half a pound of jalapeños, red onions, and pickles and it was simultaneously the best and worst my breathe has ever smelled.

That's precisely why I was in heaven the first time I stepped into a Fuddrucker's and saw the fixin's bar. Which immediately plummeted into hell when I realized that the pickles weren't the proper salty neon green fast food kind, but rather those pallid, limp, sickly things that I'm convinced exist only because onions are too exotic for some people.

I don't think they assembled these the same way though. With those things you added the dressing and such yourself and then shook it up. For the observant amongst us, they actually illustrated the main problem with having people shake their salad up in the advertisement itself.

Put the dressing in first, then your greens & veg, then the "dry" stuff up top. Stick it in the work fridge and shake it all together come lunch. Plus, I know it'll always be there when I go to eat it because nobody is gonna steal a salad

pentyne posted:McD has a pretty robust history of people not understand their core brand and attempting to do something completely stupid and unnecessary. For example On the other hand... they inaugurated one of their stores in my city (Milan, Italy) by dressing it up as an overpriced gourmet burger place for a day, they even hired two semi-celebrity chefs (who still had to follow the McDonald's recipes to the letter and only got free reign on the presentation). It was a huge success and nobody suspected they were eating McDonald's in a better packaging and at a markup, so maybe they could spin off a "gourmet" brand
