I can't believe the McLobster is on that list, I had several when I was in PEI, it was the best thing ever lol

They had the McLobster at the Ladner McDonalds.
And McDonalds pizza was the shit! I remember my parents always getting mad when i ordered it because you would always have to pull over and wait for them to make it. Good times lol

The only one that really deserves to be on there in terms of taste is the McLean Deluxe. Maybe the McHula burger, I dunno.
But they're giving their fails for poor marketing, and their arbitrary conception of what a croquette should taste like, so :thumbsup:
i hated the mcpizza. only b/c we only ordered a small one, and it was always overcooked and hard as hell.

a lot of people actually miss the pizza hah. i remember my supervisor back then hated them because he kept burning himself on the ovens :lol
edit: when i first saw the mclobster my immediate reaction was: wtf? nasty.

i didn't know the DLT spawned the BigNTasty/Big Extra. btw, even though the Big Extra is no longer on the menu, you can still order it, at least here in Kamloops

I'm surprised the "Protein Platter" didn't make this list. Order it the next time you're at McDonald's... it's one of those items where it's not listed on the menu but if you order it they'll make it for you.

I don't know about the rest of you, but personally I'd probably have everything on that list. Save maybe the Hula burger :lol

Never had the pizza before, I guess I was too young at the time. McD's in The Philippines still does the pasta, and even as far as rice and fried chicken.
LAWLS- I remember eating that pizza. That was way back when... from a taste perspective I don't remember though. sigh

I kind of remember, or atleast I think i do, the mcpizza taste. And I gotta say it tasted good.
How convient would it be to show up to a small party of group of friends with a couple large mcpizza's

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/mcafrica-tm.jpg?w=400&h=262
What is the worst thing you could possibly do when widespread famine in Africa is all over the news? Release and market a McAfrica burger – something to chow down on while watching the poor starving children on TV. The problem with this product was not in the poor flavor, it was in the poor taste timing of the advertising campaign. This is not the first time McDonald’s made this mistake – in 2002 they released the McAfrika in Norway which contained beef and vegetables in pita bread. The backlash was severe so McDonald’s put donation boxes for famine relief in all stores selling the product. With such brilliant marketing, perhaps we can look forward to a McHolocaust in the future.

If it's ONE thing I wished McDonalds would bring back - it would be the Arch Deluxe.
And maybe McPizza.
But McRib for sure. :D

soups are only in asia market & thats a separate market from the North america McDs market, heck not even all the McDs in the lower mainland have a fully Mc Cafe menu cuz some of this Mc Cafe stuff is just to costly
& no matter how great the pizza is there not gonna bring that back cuz 1. it takes way to long to make, 2. cost is the to high, 3. pizza is just not really their game (i might be wrong on the 3rd one) same as the McLobster

+1 for pizza and the rib.
Those must have been very expensive paper weights, oops i mean ovens, when they got rid of the pizza. Forced to purchase something that would just be unknownly discarded later.

Fuck, forgot all about that!!! Hot mustard mixed with real honey = best nugget sauce!!!
So McRib, fried pies, hot mustard sauce.
...oh and I wouldn't mind bringing back real, whipped butter for when I get up early enough for Hotcakes and sausage - margarine is crap!

I remember the mcpizza. It tasted good man! The only downside was it would take like 20 minutes to make. A burger that was awesome available in hk was the shogun burger, that was yummmmmmmmmmzzzz

The hot mustard sauce was the best dip for cheeseburgers. I would get like 4 packets of the sauce and just drench my cheeseburgers in it.
Soooooo good! :drool:drool:drool
I almost cried when I found out they got rid of it.

what happened to the chicken strips??
i think they were discontinued because it was expensive and the turnover wasn't very good. i remember a lot of customers bringing their strips back because they were sitting around for too long and got cold/stale :lol
anyone else remember those pita things? came with chicken, lettuce and tomatoes and i forget what sauce... caesar or ranch or something.

The McDLT was quite difficult to put together without having everything (especially the lettuce) fall apart on you. That's an awesome 80s commercial in the link. :)

I was never a fan of the pizza. To me it tasted like something you'd buy in the supermarket frozen and reheated, I didn't work there but it probably was.

Bring back the McRib and fried pies!!!!
Apparently the McRib is a limited-time thing only because McDonalds will buy pork parts at only one time in the year when the market for it is at the absolute cheapest and they will make McRibs from that and sell it until it runs out for the year. Then they do the same thing all over again the next year.

The McPizza was awesome. I remember you always had to go up to the counter and ask where your pizza is. It took a while to cook and the staff would always forget about it. It was neat that it came on the raised stand.
