My lost item(s) are at Taco Bell, also fallen from grace. The 7-Layer Burrito, its associated Crunchwrap, and later the Fiesta Veggie Burrito from the value menu, which is but a shadow of its former self. What’s worse is they have all these ingredients still since every “new” menu item is just another recombination of things from before.

Sad to say, but anymore these days Yo NO quiero Taco Bell.

Was catching up on this, and wanted to mention the Polygon interview that Christopher mentioned: Sentinels of the Multiverse interview: possibly the best superhero board game | Polygon

And my biggest “discontinued restaurant food item that I miss” has got to be Friendly’s Wattamelon Roll.

oh dang, those were good! :open_mouth: everything Friendly’s did, really

do they not still sell those in stores? :frowning:

Nope, they flat out discontinued it.

They did make a replacement cake-like product which is actually still really good… but they also only sell it very sporadically. Sigh.

(Or at least they only ship it to where I live sporadically. Honestly there was a bunch of other food items I could have listed, but those ones I’m unsure if they’re actually discontinued or if they just don’t ship them out anymore to where I live in the boonies.)

the chocolate parfait Kentucky Fried Chicken used to have.
