Not Lovin' It Fast-food restaurants make some of our favorite guilty pleasures, many of which have reached iconic status. But it takes a lot of experimenting to score a hit the likes of the Big Mac, Whopper, or Frosty. Whether they missed the mark on taste, customer enthusiasm, or something else, here are some of the biggest fast-food flops from the past few decades, including a burger that's getting a second chance to impress math-challenged Americans.

There’s nothing quite like a bacon double cheeseburger, with the fat rolling down your forearms as you eat it! But I tend to follow OMAD - One Meal A Day - and my body has no problem with a 1500+ calorie saturated fat delight.

Regardless grilled pineapple slices are good.

H.L. Mencken, the Sage of Baltimore once wrote,

“No one in this world, so far as I know .... has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”

Sagacity left Baltimore long ago

For some reason, I don’t remember the Wendys Superbar. Sounds like it was a great deal.

OK, I just don’t follow whether McD’s is having a success or failure. I do like their fires though.

I meant to say “I wasn’t rating their taste” just the sales.

Amen, with onion rings on it!

A victim of it’s own success!

Chi-Chis is Mexican slang for breasts!)

A&W made some very tasty burgers and I always liked their rootbeer floats.

Their chicken was, “Pappy Parker’s” recipe! Kin?

About a decade back McDonalds had an eggs Benedict Mcmuffin for a short time period with Hollandaise sauce that was approximately the same color as Mountain Dew.

I love eggs Benedict but that sandwich was hideous just on account of that day glow sauce. So bad..

My kid worked at McDs during their chicken wing phase and when it ended he brought home 50 lbs of wings for me.

I was in chicken wing heaven.

What makes you think they failed. The McRib is a seasonal item that comes back every year for the last 20. McGriddles are still sold.
