TIMESTAMPS:
0:00 Failed McDonald’s Products
0:25 McAfrika / McAfrica
1:56 McHotdog
3:28 Arch Deluxe
4:52 McGratin Croquette

SUMMARIES:
- Unlike other entries on this list, the reason the McAfrika failed wasn't because of the food itself.
- Despite the popularity of hot dogs and the fact that McDonald's could sell them cheaply, the McHotdog didn't take off.
- The Arch Deluxe was a quarter pounder with peppered bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese, onions, ketchup, and a secret sauce.
- Designed more for the Japanese market than for the US, the McGratin Croquette consisted of deep-fried macaroni, shrimp and mashed potato, which was then served on a bed of cabbage and stuffed into a bun.
- The main reason the McDLT didn't work was due to the packaging.
- One of the main reasons people were turned off by the McLobster was its price.
- The Hula Burger was one of the biggest flops to happen to the Golden Arches chain.
- The main reason for the McPizza fail was that when people wanted pizza, they tended to go to one of the many pizza chains rather than McDonald's, which makes sense.
- The pasta dishes McDonald's experimented with were Lasagna, Spaghetti with Meatballs, and Fettuccine Alfredo.
- Back in the early 1990s, particularly after the huge success of products like Diet Coke, McDonald's tried to get in on the fat-free and sugar-free markets that were gaining steam with the introduction of the McLean Deluxe.

"After ray crock passed away, mcdonalds released a hotdog"

*DAMN BOI*

[ThemeParkCrazy]

MC HotDog is also a Taiwanese rap artist.

I liked the McDLT, but they should have put the cheese on the patty so it would melt. Otherwise, I had no problem flipping the one half on the other. It was a good burger. Great video.

If they ever released the Mc Afrika/ Mc Africa, they should call it Mc Pita

4:32 - Imagine Ronald McDonald yelling " FORE!! " 😛⛳

Before Ray Kroc passed away in 1984, he did got a string of flops for McDonald's including McDLT, Arch Deluxe, Mighty Wings and more. As years went by, McDonald's has learned their lesson and focused more on the successful fast food world.

"He thought hot dogs were unhygienic and didn't fit the McDonald's image."
Yes, because McDonald's is the epitome of cleanliness.

The original McAfrika sounds delicious, but I'm trying to figure out what Africa has to do with this sandwich. There is North Africa with its Arab Muslim majority. East Africa with breads like injura in Ethiopia, and all the other countries that probably have food that is completely different from one end of Africa to another. That would be like making a McNorthAmerica sandwich. The food that the Inuits eat in Canada is probably nothing like the food in Southern Mexico, and all the land in between!

Just stopped by McD's for a snack- 2 hamburgers (that used to be $1) and a small order of fries that were way too salty, cost $7.99...Never again.

I really loved the Arch Deluxe.
Would request bacon and onion
with it.

The marketing campaign may have been garbage.
But the burger was excellent .

McDonald's featured hot wings at one time, and they were the biggest and best wings anywhere. But wings are a costly purchase for them. Also, they tested an English Wimpy's style burger. It was great, with a rye roll and a quality burger smothered in grilled onions, just like the Wimpy's in London. Why these two items 'failed', or were withdrawn, is a mystery to me...

[kodiiayyeee]

The Mchula burger was actually pretty good.. But then again I enjoyed the Mcspaghetti too

[despacitospider]

Just casually watching this during quarantine.


Also keep up the good content!

[ellayvette]

Yay, it's babbletop, I'm soo happy

[Don.Barbie]

The funny part about the whole hotdog thing is that the McDonald brothers were selling them originally before Ray Croc took over the business lol

[snibdogg]

When the pizza was available it was definitely my 'go to'
Yum

[jaceclark]

I love this channel I wish McDonald’s still had mcpizzas I really want a cheap pizza

[Adoioioi]

I feel like I should ask the cashiers for the food on this list and see what they say

[GamerzSeb]

"Hello Fellow Mackies, Happy Thanksgiving to you fellow Frozen McPatties!"
- Wendy's

ngl the McLobster sounds good, probably because of my sea food obsession
