I made every DISCONTINUED fast food!

Guga, I used to work for Pizza Hut. The reason why it was discontinued was because it wasn't " already made ". It was precooked yes but not already made. There was this " tool " that looked like a big ring that was used to press down onto only the outer edges of the dough and cut them into strip segments, then the piggies were placed in the center of each segment and rolled individually. The same tool was used to make the cheese only version by placing 2 inch cheese sticks in each cut segment of the dough and rolling them individually. The reason they were both discontinued ( or at least made seasonal only ) was because of the time it took to make them. It was very time consuming and couldn't meet the demand.

I worked for Pizza Hut when the Hot Dog Bites pizza was being sold. Two things - One, it came off the menu because they sold poorly and most people thought it was a joke (we sold at most one a day on average). Two, that's actually not how we made it. We had long hot dogs that we used to make a stuffed crust, then we used a special set of rings to cut the crust into the bites that we then rotated so they'd be easier to pull off and you could see the hot dog. Honestly, they were really labor-intensive compared to a regular pizza and I really disliked making them.

The one discontinued fast food item I loved and still miss is the Jalapeno Double from McDonald's. My favorite part was the Jalapeno crisps they added to make the burger really crunchy and satisfying to bite into.

Guga, i live in Puerto Rico and am proud to tell you that the doble down is still on the menu here in the island and the cheessa in here to but only for a limited time

The lobster from McDonalds was a while supplies last item not apart of the main menu, and was the biggest pain in the butt as if a small piece fell onto the counter production in the kitchen had to stop and you had to sanitize the whole area incase someone had a shell fish allergy. Also for the cleanup NOTHING else could go in the sink with the lobster supplies, we had to clean everything THEN sanitize the whole sink before anything else went in to prevent cross contamination.

3:53 for anyone who’s interested the Hula burger was intended as an alternative for Catholics to eat on Fridays when they couldn’t eat meat, but a franchisee invented the Fillet o Fish which ended up being more popular among Catholics and is still sold today

PLEASE DO A PART 2!

Thank you Guga and crew for another great video! Was trying to avoid this episode just so I wouldn't be bummed on foods of the past but you made it enjoyable. Seen some I haven't tried but will now be recreating at home. Looking forward to some more videos like this.

As a former fast food worker, specifically KFC, the reason most of these were discontinued was because of the additional work they were. We did our best to use as few of the machines as possible. Things like hot dogs, boneless chicken breasts, etc, are extra work

Great Idea!!

Id love a series like this, you guys always make me laugh when I need it :)

Back in the mid 1990s, Carl's Jr had a parmesan grilled burger. Like a Frisco burger, it had parmesan grilled into the outside of the toast. Inside the burger was a typical beef patty, thousand island style burger sauce, slice of American cheese and grilled onion. It was delicious and it needs to come back now! :)

6:36 according to online, the McLobster is still available in the summer times in Atlantic Canada and New England locations whenever lobster is in abundance

The McLobster is still around, but it's only in New England, and only in locations that are close to a ready supply of cheap, processed lobster. If the lobster has to travel more than 10-15 miles, or can't be purchased already processed, cleaned and chopped, then it's not happening. This means it's also seasonal, but since lobster is in season during tourist season, that's when you'll see it. It's also entirely at the discretion of the store manager. Port towns like Gloucester, Portsmouth or Portland are where you have a chance to find it. Also, I noticed that you are using Kewpie Mayo. That's going to be a HUGE improvement.

One of my greatest childhood memories was fishing with my dad in Halifax on vacation. We had bought fresh lobsters but were so excited we went to McDonald's and had a few of these. Never saw them again except costco used to sell it at least seasonally.

In India we have a deep fried dish called a pakoda, we have potato, onion, paneer (better tofu) and chicken. So this onion nugget is just a weirdly cut onion pakoda. It tastes a LOT better if you cut it into thick rings and fry it with the core.

Trust me, your recreation of these dishes is going to be way better than the originals. That's the biggest reason everything on here was discontinued aside from financial ROI...

the people living with guga are in heaven (both meanings)

The triple layer crust pizza from Dominos WILL go down in history as the most underrated discontinued food item. Super disappointed this didn't make the list Guga honestly. It was an option you could get on any pizza which had a 3 layer pizza base with 2 different kinds of gooey cheese between the layers it was AMAZING and it's been longer than 15 years discontinued

i agree with you guga the pizza looks like heaven
