Fast Food Deals We May Never See Again

"Five dollar... Five dollar foot longgggg" - The jingle we might remember forever, but the actual meaning is no longer true.

Do you ever just take a second and think back to some of the fast food deals that were a thing, that could possibly never be coming back?

This isn't the only memorable deal from a fast-food restaurant that is no longer a thing.

They discontinued the 5$ footlong back in 2016. The company removed the iconic promotion for a variety of reasons, such as growing food costs and struggling profits. 

According to the app today, a Titan Turkey sub-footlong is around $12. The 6-inch option was also not $5 it was closer to $8.

Where did the dollar menu go? It's like day by day the items from the McDonald's dollar menu just seemed to vanish until one day it was all gone.

The dollar menu included food items like the McDouble, the McChicken, the parfait which they no longer have, 3 cookies for a dollar, and 2 apple pies for a dollar- which they just added back to their menu. I mean the list goes on.

But I do have a word of advice, get the app. Thank me later!

Now this one hurt! It's like I saw it happen right before my eyes. With the 3 for $10, you were able to get your entree appetizer and a drink for just $10. Then they adjusted it to $10.99, then after that, they completely took it away. And now it's called 3 for Me.

Fewer options to choose from and not all the options are $10. They just start at that price.

In 2022, Little Caesars bumped up the price of their signature $5 Hot-N-Ready pizza.

While we might miss these fast food deals, it's bound to see more happen through the coming years due to several things causing inflation.

So for just a minute, suspend all reality.  You came to the earth today as old are you and you have to find that one Must Try Fast Food fast food, what will it be?  I took a poll inside our Beasley Media Group building and have the answers coming up.

At this time in our history, we have some of the most amazing fast food ever.  Plus, it gets better and better all the time.  I mean, just look at how they are putting pumpkin spice into everything from coffee to the trash bags we use in our homes.

In 2021-KFC Doughnut Zinger Burger - A fried chicken breast between two doughnuts

Pizza Hut in 2019 offered The Stuffed Cheez-It Pizza-Cheez It's In the crust

Sonic Pickle Juice Slush in 2018.  We'll just leave that one right there

In 2016, Burger King had Mac n' Cheetos.  Mac N Cheese deep fried in Cheetos

Pizza Hut in 2015 had the  Hot Dog Bites Pizza.  The crust was a pig in a blanket

What would happen if they let me make food items to try on a fast food menu?  I think I could do this for a living.  Think about the fast food you like and when you've had a few too many to drink you add something crazy.  Like me, I like to mix my ketchup and honey mustard together a dipping sauce.  I liked it when Hardee's offered the Froot Loop doughnuts.

The first item I would come with would be, A chicken finger dog.  Take a hot dog bun. Add a chicken finger.  then add your favorite sauce.  Me, it would be honey mustard, then add cheese and melt the cheese over the chicken finger in the bun.  It's got to have a better name, but I've done this at home.

How about this for a dessert?  Deep-fried smores?  Deep fried anything to be honest.

So now it's your first day on earth and you have to eat this one meal, here comes the top 5.

Now keep in mind. You've never had food before. Pizza would have to be on the list. Start easy, pepperoni. Its a go to when it comes to pizza, oh and we must have the Ranch

Now I think its safe to say that we've all a Big Mac and I'm not shocked it came up high on the list.  This is a burger classic for sure.

I will say, this is one of the few items from Taco Bell that I've not tried.  It will move up on the list very fast..

Now this one I was shocked that It didn't make number 1.  The Dairy Queen Blizzard is like the best food, meal, dessert or food group ever.  You have so many options.

This one, it just kind of stands to reason that it would be number one.  Doesn't everyone love Chick Fil A?  If it were my first meal on earth, I could agree with it being a Chick-Fil-A Sandwich being my first meal.
