You're not that Dead Head guy with the Jerry Garcia portrait tattoo, and the vine with a rose for every Dead concert you've seen (a baby blue one for the Halloween concert) are you?

Totally agreed. Also miss cherry pies, which they no longer make. And strawberry sundaes.

Also from McD's: Arch Deluxe and McDLT as mentioned earlier, as well as the fajitas. I used to get those all the time on break when I worked there.

And... Dairy Queen Snickers Blizzard, which has been discontinued.

This is more of an "on and off again" item, but I haven't seen it locally in a LONG time - the Italian chicken sandwich from Burger King. It's their classic (breaded) chicken patty, with mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce. YUM.

The Superbar... I LOVED that as a kid. Mixing the Mexican food with the Pasta was so good.

Some others...

Taco Bell - Chicken Caesar Grilled Stuffed Burrito
Jack's - Cinnamon rolls
Taco Bell - Spicy chicken burrito (so much better than the chicken burrito they have now)
McDonald's - Breakfast burrito

I'm sure there are others that I can't think of right now. I saw that Taco Bell Bell Beefer mentioned a few times so I checked it out - I wish they'd bring that back because it looks good!

Dairy Queen used to have a Nerds Blizzard (SO GOOD). Last time I saw it was in 2003 at their Ashland, OR location.

Fosters Freeze (a CA chain) also had one, last time I saw it was at their Rosamond, CA location in the late 2000's.

Are you sure?

I ordered a Blizzard about a week ago at a DQ in Williams AZ and I'm pretty sure Snickers was one of the flavors on offer.

Maybe it varies by store?

I just plain miss Del Taco.
Del Taco of course still exists, mostly in the west.

Ray Kroc--who should've stuck with the business end of McDonald's--introduced that "Hula Burger" to compete with the filet o' fish, which was introduced by one of his franchisees in a geographic area which was predominately Catholic. Customers loved the filet o' fish, while Kroc's hula burger tanked. It didn't evolve into anything.

And the fish sandwich didn't evolve from anything.

Yep, I kind of got that messed up. (sometimes Wiki can be wrong!). But true, Kroc was trying different options, and his Hula Burger never made it. Thanks for the correction!
