Welcome to Good Mythical More. Let’s explore the world of fast food menu item fails meaning items that they just didn’t work out. They didn’t work out. They didn’t work out. We’re gonna be guessing which year they were introduced. Okay. But first we’re going to give Merchicality winner, Jason Alderman $50 to go over to mythical.com. You rep merch, you get merch. Get some more of that merch. Uh-huh. Hey, if you put that merch on in the wild, let us know. On the internet with #Merchicality. You might be a winner too. Jason’s wife gave him that ’cause she knows that he loves GMM. Thanks bird, love you. I guess he calls- Calls his wife Bird. Stacy Bird. Roosevelt did that. Or Roosevelt as some people say. I got a warning for you. I may have to sneeze. I’m gonna try to sneeze it into this. No, no, no. Let me, I, I, I. Oh man. That could’ve blown up the whole thing. Oh look, we’ve got two pockets. It’s our punishment. We’ve got two inputs. They thought of everything. Did you say, “I’ve got a warning for,” you before you sneezed? Yeah. Okay. What is this? Just making sure. This is a giant burger. Oh my gosh. This is, It would be convenient if the other valve was on the other side. But at this rate, we just gotta stay next to each other. And we’re gonna be blowing this up as we’re playing the game. So, Stevie, let’s hear the first one. Okay. KFC once had a non-fried, I can’t hear you talk, I can’t hear you when I’m blowing. When you sneeze, do you ever try to harness the power of a sneeze for blowing your nose? Blowing out a candle? No. For blowing your nose. No. That’s dangerous. You to, to force it outta your nose, not your mouth. I think you wanna force it outta your mouth. Cuz I don’t think you wanna hurt the, any of the tissues. Stevie what’s the- I’ve done it though. What’s the question? Don’t blow for a second. Don’t blow for a second. I can’t I gotta blow. I’m quiet. We’re gonna blow quietly. Okay. KFC once had a non-fried rotisserie chicken on the menu called the Colonel’s Rotisserie Gold. When was that? When was that? Wow. Well, I remember this. They had to put a whole freakin Where was I Rotisserie system in the KFCs only for it to fail? That’s a, that’s a big, that’s a big risk. Alright, I’ve got a system. I’m going to go back. I’m gonna use some, like, use this in like psychology basically, When you try to like, go back to a place, what is it when they send you back to where you were. Re regression. Okay, I’m gonna regress to the place I’m gonna fall right on my seat. I’m gonna regress to the place that I was when I saw this commercial. And I’m gonna cover you up in this. In this. Hold on. I, I’m trying to go back. Oop! Just turned that over. Watch out for the, you know the electronics. Sorry, Morgan. This is my, this is my teammate, the winner. Here we go. Now you need to regress. Okay. So I’m going back to this place. I’m in what we call the extra room. I’m gonna think about this commercial and I’m gonna think about, I’m gonna look around and I’m gonna go and I’m gonna look at myself in a mirror to see how old I am. And then I’m gonna figure out what year it is. Let see. You want a little bit off the top or You’re making it harder, because now I’m at the barber. I really think you’re good. I mean, it’s like, I’ll, I’ll do it. But- ’89 Like a human burger man. Leave that. 1989. Is that your final answer? ’91. Ooh, 93. 1993? Yes. I wonder if it, I wonder if it was any good? Did you, did you have it? He sent me to the barber. Yeah. I had this, the rotisserie man. It was a thing. Everybody showed up. Rotisserie gold. Everybody showed up at the Colonel. Well, why did they discontinue it then? Because it’s not as good as fried chicken. Yeah. I do not remember trying this. How do you remember how many does it say how many years it was around? You know what I bet they did? No. I bet they sold all of those to, I’m done by the way, my valve only blew up this edge. Like, I don’t know why but- Is there another valve down here? Were you gonna say something about Boston Market or is that just me? I was just thinking when did Boston Market? I think I did say that, they, they sold all of their rotisserie machines to Boston Market. I’m looking that up. Not that, but like, okay yeah. ’85 is when Boston Market like first started and then ’95 is when they changed to Boston Market. I dunno, I think it has something to do with it. I think it has something to do with it. Yeah. Yeah. Me too. Me too. McDonald’s had a juicy bone and chicken wing, multiple wings in a bold, spicy breading called Mighty Wings. Okay. When were those introduced? Mighty wings? I couldn’t have told you that they were spicy, but I do- And maybe it’s just that we talked about it on the show. Or maybe I remember it from childhood? They wouldn’t have done spicy wings when you were a child. Regress. Yeah. I’m regressing. Imma get under this. Hmm. Spicy wings. This is, you’re saying this is, this is two thousands? 2000. Can have been 2007. Do you have a picture of it? Do you remember this stuff? Or is that gonna give it away? That’ll don’t give it away. We’re gonna reveal at the end. Cause we think the photo might give it away. I was gonna say 2006. I said 2007 and I think they went away pretty quick. It was actually before the KFC rotisserie chicken. 1990. 1990. Yeah. That’s bull crap. So they had freaking bone-in wings and they just look like nuggets. Nothing about it says that it’s gonna be spicy. That’s, does it, anybody remember having these? For some reason the, the like Mighty Wings as a phrase I remember. Right. I don’t, I, I wonder if it tastes just like a nugget. You know how their nuggets have this like special taste? Yeah, I love a Mcnugget. I wonder. It looks like it would taste like a nugget and that would make me happy actually. But then I would be like biting into bone and I’d be unhappy again. Well, you don’t have to worry about it because they discontinued it so you’ll never ever have it. That’s right. Bad idea. Burger King once had a bacon sundae on the menu and after it was tested in Nashville it was met with mixed reviews. So they, they didn’t push it nationwide. Really? A bacon sundae? That’s so stupid sounding. Why would they think that was a good idea? I mean, that’s really out there. Is it not? I’m concerned, I’m concerned about Rhett’s health at this point. Nothing’s happening dude. He picked that teat. If that was my teat then I’d be back there blowing it up. No you wouldn’t. Yeah, I would. That’s the difference between me and you. I don’t I feel like you need to, are you gonna pass out? I, I finished my job. You need to sit down. You’d still be talking. We all know. Bacon craze of the late two thousands. I think this is a little too late to the game. I think this is gonna be 2000? I think bacon hit its internet peak in. Oh, I’m getting so spitty. 2000, 2009. I’m putting a bunch of water in there. I’m saying 2009 Close. 20? 2008. No, 2012. Oh, let’s see it. We have one? Okay. You can do it Rhett. All by yourself. So it just had crumble pieces of bacon on it? Yeah. Oh, is some of that burnt bacon and some of it’s normal bacon? Or is that. It appears so. What in the world? I mean, you can eat bacon on a on an ice cream sundae if you really want to. You’re giving me a headache watching you do that. Just keep breathing, as long as you Oh I’m just breathing into it. There you go. Dairy Queen tried to create a healthier blizzard option with the Dairy Queen Breeze. It was made with frozen yogurt instead of ice cream and people did not like it. Because it tasted like crap. Nineties was healthy time. Nineties was healthy time. Nineties was when we all thought we needed to be healthy. Well then I’m gonna say ’98. Go a little bit down. ’96. 1990 90. 1990. I wonder if it, did they do the, the upside down dippy dippy with that? Like when you, they would hand it to you and go like that? Yeah. They didn’t, no, they With frozen yogurt? The only place I knew they did that was at No, that that is Dairy Queen’s thing. The concrete. Where was the concrete place we would go to? Good Berries! I went by there recently. It’s still there? It’s still there. Concrete place? Yeah. What do you mean by that? We would call it concretes and it was like a certain type of thick ice cream. It was custard. They turned it on upside down before they gave it to you. Yeah. It was custard. Don’t make me waste my breath. I need every ounce of breath to go into this burger. McDonald’s, Frozen yogurt was a, was a had its moment. Listen, I enjoy frozen yogurt. You know? If you just need that sweet dessert release. I think frozen yogurt does a, a fine job. This is a debate I have with Cassie every time It does a fine job. I’m like let’s order dessert. But it’s not ice cream. It’s definitely not a blizzard. Yeah, I, But you know what? I haven’t had, I’ll go in for some Pink Baerry when it’s that like, That’s what I’m saying. That type. Where it’s like tart. Yeah. When it’s tart. Yeah. I could, I could be up for that. Yeah. After this. Yeah, I like that. After this you wanna go? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Oh wow. Cassie was in my dream. Oh. What was she doing? Ordering ice cream instead of the frozen yogurt I wanted to get? Hold on. It’s coming back to me, very recently. Oh, what was she saying? We were at a grocery store. We were, we were, we were like a, a Erewhon type place. And we had, we were together. We were, we had split up to buy multiple things. We gotta divide and conquer this Erewhon. You spending way too much money? Oh. And then we, and then we got back together and we consulted. What did she say? Southern mother tortillas. It’ll come back to me. Yeah. Get more lightheaded. It’ll come back to you. I wanna remind you to check out the Mythical Kitchen channel while I’m thinking about it. They’re putting out three new videos every week. They got Meals of History, Imposter Chef, 2V2 battles, Last Meals, and every week they got the Aprons Off series where they’re not cooking but they’re doing other stuff. They’re talking and tasting. So give Mythical Kitchen some love, all right? You’re getting close, dude. Don’t give up. You’re gonna be sleeping on that tonight. Next. McDonald’s once had fajitas on their menu. The fajitas included chicken, cheese, peppers and onions. They even developed a slogan for the dish referring to it as “A taste of Mexico, without the sunburn.” Without the sunburn. There it is. There it is. You did it. We did it. We did it. Did it. Did it. You know, I gotta say, Rhett, there’s something about let’s put this behind us. This would be our new background. So what about Mexico that’ll give you sunburn every time? So just lean, like lean forward. Get all burger in the background? Get all burger in the background. But put the, no, don’t you just lean. It’s not gonna work. Just move your butt forward and then put it, put it, put it. There we go. Just two guys on, on a burger. This is kind of nice. You know, Rhett, I gotta say, Can we get a pad? You really carried us in this in the main episode and now in the more you’re really carrying us today. Hmm. I will acknowledge that you’ve done most of the work. Okay. On both episodes. And I’m gonna cap it off by guessing. Hold on. What are we on now? McDonald’s fajitas. Push it, push it down a little bit. I’m gonna guess this one completely right on the first try. Here we go. McDonald’s fajitas. I had these. Take a screenshot. 2002. That’s exactly what I was thinking. 2003? 2004? 1993. 1993. Because Man, that Sucks. And then they, they kept all those tortillas for years and then they said we gotta use these for something. They came up with snack wraps. Why would you want that from McDonald’s? Every fast food place was going through identity crises. Right? So you got the nineties health crisis. Chicken fajitas. It’s still wrapped up though. So they were like, we gotta have healthy stuff. Now they realize everyone else has healthy stuff. That’s not why we’re here. And we know our lane. Right? So they’re not trying that anymore. Oh. But it came out the same time as the breakfast burrito which is a such a winner. Ooh. Ooh! But it says that there’s diced tomatoes. Is there a little bit of diced tomatoes in a breakfast burrito? Or did they remove that? Cuz I could tell you right now, I love it. And there’s no, there’s no tomatoes in it. Yeah, I think that, I don’t think there’s peppers either. Are there? What’s on a, what’s No, there’s peppers. There’s a little bit of peppers. Well, we’re about to find out if they still do diced tomato. Can you look up the ingredients of a modern day breakfast burrito? Maybe they’re so small you don’t know they’re in there. So when they tried the fajitas the breakfast burrito was the winner. It was an AB testing You know BF testing. It’s like Burrito fajita. Sometimes you try things and we do this a lot. You try things because you, you know you never know what’s gonna stick, what’s gonna happen. But it always leads to something. Actually the whole Rhett and Link experiment is an AB test. Eventually it just, just gonna be one of us. Right. It’s a multi-decade AB testing. It just keeps going back and forth. Who’s the burrito and who’s the fajita? You’re winning today, man. You blowing hot air, doing math. I, you know what I felt good breathing directly into a burger. I like having this back here. I feel like it cleared something. Are we waiting on the, you wanna you, while we’re waiting on that, you wanna go to the next one or you wanna just sit? Fluffy eggs, green peppers, onion, sausage and cheese. They took, they took tomatoes out. Yeah they, they took tomatoes out, which is so great. So great that they did that. The breakfast burrito. Ooh, that is good. If you had to That is good. If you had to rank the items at McDonald’s I would have to put that, I mean it’s my second favorite breakfast item. With the sausage, egg and cheese McGriddle being number one, of course. McDonald’s is breakfast right man. Stevie, let me hear you. For a limited time. Burger King launched barbecue ribs on its menus across the country during the summer of which year. Did they have bones in it or did they just repurpose like McRib competitors? Unclear. I think that they tried to compete with the McRib. Burger King is always responding Not innovating. Burger King is kind of behind the eight ball. Well I’ll tell ya Responding. Well, you know what I think they innovate when it comes to desserts. It’s just, nobody cares. What’s a what’s a Burger King dessert in, in innovation Pies. Chocolate pie. And then there were all the cinnamon things that they did like getting Cinnabon collabs going. They innovate too much in the dessert area and then in the like the long fried chicken sandwich. Like the one shaped like that. Forget all that. Yeah, but those are kind of nice, especially when they do the Italian one when it comes around. Christy loves that. Christy loves that You could, the Italian one with the marinara and the che- and mozzarella on it. Christy goes back and she’ll get one of those and then she’s like, I was sick afterward. Oh, I, it doesn’t make me sick. That’s my problem. What was it again? These weren’t real ribs. Ribs. Oh ribs, crazy. I tried to Google Burger King ribs. I don’t remember this. And I accidentally Googled burger kink and I don’t recommend. That’s what’s happening right here. Yeah we’re, Did you guess? 90’s I was too busy looking at my results. I think I would know about this if it happened when I was an adult. Let’s, let’s say 1992. ’97 2010. What? And it looks like they did have bones in them. What a flash in the pan. What? And, and and you would dip it in the, just the barbecue sauce. Does anybody remember these? It’s real ribs? It looks like a, it looks like a bad chicken wing doesn’t it? Yeah. I mean, That’s crazy. Why did they think this would work? I don’t think you want to go to any fast food burger place and get bones. Like you don’t want bones at a fast food burger place. But what about bone-in wing places? Only a chicken place. Only a chicken place. Don’t put bones in any of my stuff. I wanna be a bite all the way through it. This just should have been nixed. All right. One more, lightning round. Frings or a bag Frings? Frings. That’s had both onion rings and fries together from Jack in the Box. Oh Hold on. So it’s just in the same box. Yeah. That’s a good idea. In the same bag. That’s probably, probably last year. I never want a whole thing of onion rings. 2022. No. This one’s our oldest one on this, this, this more. Well, ’89 ’88. There there might, there’s a reason that you don’t remember it. ’72. ’79? 70. 79. 1979, Frings. Doesn’t it, it sounds ahead of its time. We should bring this back. Like the merging of two words into a marketing thing like that. Have a Fring. It’s just nobody wants if you want onion rings, you only want, this is perfect. This is perfect. Bring it back! You could also just probably just ask for it. Give me half and half. You gonna sleep on this tonight. We’ll see if we can pop it. It’s over. We’re we’re done. We’re done. We’re not gonna pop it. We’re done. Don’t pop it it’s you’re sleeping on tonight. Step into the Mythical Kitchen channel to have even more mythicality in your week. Subscribe!
