McDonald's is massive, and even in these hard times, doing well. It seems like anything they do is a success, although the new McCafe coffee is still to be seen.
The good folks at List Universe on May 30th, had a list of McDonald's' failures. Of course, they have pictures and more information. Check t out.
10. McGratin Croquettes-- for the Japanese market
9. Hulaburger-- 1963, for Catholics who couldn't eat meat on Fridays. Pineapple replaced the meat. "Where's the beef?"
8. McDLT-- lettuce and tomatoes. It came back as today's Big & Tasty.
7. Arch deluxe-- hamburgers for adults. You could get it X or R-rated.
6. McLobster-- pretty expensive at $5.99, plus, it looked like someone threw up on the top of it. Just try to get a kid to order this with their Happy Meal. What kind of a toy would come with it?
5. McHotdog-- Back in 1977, Ray Kroc prohibited the sale of hot dogs which he considered unhygienic. A close relative, the brat, was offered a few years back. I sure liked them.
4. McPizza
3. McPasta-- Olive Garden breathes sigh of relief.
2. McAfrica-- ???
1. McLean Deluxe-- supposedly, the name turned off men
As I head out for my $1 side salad.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

I haven't tried the Big & Tasty, but when the McDLT first came around, it sounded more like a technological achievement than a food item. More emphasis was paid to the "hot food stays hot, cold food stays cold" packaging than the food itself.
I had a McDLT and found it quite good, and "fresh" thanks to that separate packaging for the hot and cold parts, as you mentioned.
Still wasn't a Whopper, though.
