Have you ever taken a minute to think about what weird food gimmicks fast-food restaurants have created to entice us? We think these edible inventions are a little off the mark...
White Castle's chicken rings
1. White Castle's Chicken Ring: The American
burger chain that made sliders famous also makes a fried ring of chicken meat.
What looks like a doughnut or a large onion ring actually came from a bird. We
gave it a try and it was pretty tasteless -- it just doesn't achieve the magical
McDonald's McNuggets crispiness.
2.
Taco Bell's
Bacon Crunchwrap Supreme: Taco Bell's Crunchwrap Supreme with ground
beef is one thing, but then there's the bacon version. I'm skeptical that Taco
Bell even stocks bacon (is there room on the line next to the ground beef and
shredded cheese?). The bacon-esque bits, sauce, flavoring (or whatever it is) is
glued into the cheese, holding the shell and all the goods
together.
3. Domino's Bread Bowl Pasta: These come in multiple
pasta flavors such as chicken alfredo and mac and cheese, and if those weren't
filling enough, you can thankfully eat the receptacle it came in! Even carb
lovers might be frightened by the upwards of 800 calories in every
bread-on-bread monster. Will pizza delivery men need to add pasta to their job
title?
4. McDonald's McLaks: Regional McDonald's have a
reputation for stocking unique ethnic version of McDonald's concepts. At a
wayward McD's in Oslo, Norway, there's something called a McLaks, pronounced
"mac-LOX." Laks is the Norwegian word for salmon, so this would be a fast-food
salmon burger. Hopefully it contains fish.
5. Maid-Rite's Loose Meat Sandwich: Should meat be
loose? I don't know if tight sounds any better but that adjective just
doesn't seem right. This cross between a Sloppy Joe and a burger is "too good to
be a patty," says the Midwestern chain. Do you prefer your sandwich innards to
be one collosal mass or a gazillion bits of meat particles?
6. MOS Burger's Naan Tacos: The Japanese fast-food
chain sells naan with Mexican-themed toppings. The fusion genre never stops
surprising us.
7. Jollibee's Breakfast Joys: Are hot dogs a joy?
Wait, let's clarify that: are hot dogs before lunchtime a joy? This breakfast
package from the Filipino fast-food chain includes the weiner with an egg and
garlic fried rice. Technically hot dogs are part of the sausage family, but it
just seems like a lot to have with coffee.
8. Hot-Dog-on-a-Stick's Cheese-on-a-Stick: The mall
food court standby skewers rods of American and pepper jack cheese. Isn't
everything just better on a stick? If you ask Hot-Dog-on-a-Stick they are paid
to say yes.
9. McDonald's McRib: Ribs are technically curved bones
form a ribcage, but this McDonald's sandwich doesn't seem to contain any part of
the skeletal system. When you can show me an animal with ribs with no bones,
I'll eat a McRib.
10. Hardee's Philly Cheese Steak Thickburger: Hardee's
piles cheesesteak fixings-undercooked onions and shaved beef-atop a burger
mountain. Is meat topped with other meat products a beautiful or destructive
thing?
And take a look at these freaky ice creams!
