The real "original" Irish Spring soap. They changed it in the mid 80's, they have one they label "original" but it isn't the same as the pre-80's scent.

McDonald's Pizza

+++

I had no idea this item existed.

***

Something that they tried in the early-to-mid 90's.  It had a thinner crust; so it wasn't quite as good as a regular pizza; but I really liked it.  It was the one item I would ever go out of my way to go to McDonald's for; so naturally they discontinued it.

McDonald's pizza, according to a friend who worked there when we were in high school, was discontinued because it took 5 minutes to make a pizza in the oven and that was too long to have someone wait in the drive thru. They had to make each one fresh, see, unlike the burgers where they could grill a couple dozen and just leave them in the warmers.

Don't get me started on the times when they had to rush, and gave customers 'za that had fallen on the ground because they couldn't wait for another one.

I'll second or third any variety of unfrosted Pop-Tarts. I like 'em, but the ones without the crispy sugary top are sure hard to find, nevermind getting a flavour I like! I mean, chocolate ones come unfrosted, but that kinda defeats my purpose in seeking out something a little less sweet.

Yeah I remember you did have to wait an extra long time.  In the restaurants that I went to (not drive-thru), you'd get in line to order, take a seat and they'd call you up when it was ready.

There's so many fast food items that have come and gone, from Wendy's hotdogs, Burger King's ham and cheese, and Taco Bell's enchirito.

I liked Burger King's Big Mac clone, the Big King.  But their 'table service' menu was lame.

Wendy's had a buffalo chicken I loved, and they used to have the chicken parmesan, but I hated the 'hot bar' buffet thing.

Darren and Brad, I can't find unfrosted cherry anywhere, so I have to settle for unfrosted strawberry around here, and I usually go with the store brand in that case. Kellogg's Website doesn't even list unfrosted cherry.
