Discontinued fast food items rant

The twister from KFC was great. I don’t think they advertised it well.

They changed whatever chicken they use! I swear they've had to. I used to love their chicken sandwiches and last 2 times I ordered them, the texture was way off and just weird, like had an odd rubber band texture. The first time i thought maybe it was just a fluke. I tried again at a different wendys sometime later and it was weird too. Idk, that was a couple years ago and have been afraid to try them since.

You're right about that the consistency of the chicken has changed a lot. I remember the first time I ate at a Wendy which was in 1974 and it was a hell of a lot better than it is now.

I'm still pissed that they got rid of my Shoney's here in Jackson.

It was the best chicken wrap hands down. From what I've heard, a girl in Australia got salmonella poisoning from one and her family sued kfc and won 8mil or something so they decided to discontinue them after that.

Does anybody remember those Roy Rogers Roast Beef sandwiches? And Danver's restaurants?

I only eat at Shoney's anymore when I go to eat from the Breakfast Bar which is still great I remember the awesome steak sandwiches and onion rings they had in the early-mid 1970s

I loved Shoneys as a kid. Been once during my adult life and wasnt impressed. Hate when something isn't like how you remember. Subway comes to mind as well. Their quality has just went down hill since the mid 90s.

Do you remember Lum's that had awesome hot dogs that were cooked in beer? My dad loved them and we ate there a lot

Little off topic...and I shouldn't complain because I live on the coast and we have incredible seafood choices...that said sometimes I get a craving for some beer battered LJS's fish

Good Lord.....I haven't heard about Lum's in 40 something years. Had one briefly here in Jackson in the 70s.

Those remind me of the chicken sandwiches from rocky top market on Cumberland. Whenever I happened in there late night I’d buy a bunch and take them back to my dorm and freeze them. Then on a Wednesday night or whatever pull one out still wrapped in a napkin and microwave that bad boy. Delicious

Ugh, their quality sucks anymore too. Captain D's is better. Atleast in my neck of the woods.

I have heard that but never tried it......like I said I'm not into subs anymore unless I just have to.

Yet Chipotle survives dishing out E. coli on a regular basis

I always get sick eating at Long John Silvers so I just get fish from Captain D's

Anyone try those little stuffed biscuits at weigels? I love them and miss them. I used to stop and get one on my way to work every morning when I lived in Knoxville.

The first sandwich shop sandwich I ever got was one from Blimpies that my Mom bought me after school in 1973

I remember Lum's didn't last but about a year here.....they moved out & a pizza place moved in.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

Was pissed when they started closing all the snappy tomatoes too.

Pretzel pizza at little Caesars. I don't like them any other time, but that pretzel pizza was awesome

they still got that around here
