What's the worst fast food item you've ever had?
- Thread starter ElectricBlanketFire
- Start date
I have another chicken one, actually, though I wouldn't say it's "bad". There's a Canadian chicken chain called Mary Brown's. They have something on their menu called chicken poppins (or pop-ins, I dunno). For some reason, I was expecting chicken nuggets or like popcorn chicken from KFC. Instead, it's basically fried chicken skins that are wadded up enough that you can dip them.
Again, it's not necessarily bad, but I guess I just don't like chicken skin enough to eat it by itself like that.

I can't say I agree, though I certainly understand the sentiment. Anytime they have a new menu item that sounds potentially exciting, they'll find a way to "Tim it up" and make it a lot less appealing than it should be, though I can't think of any examples off the top of my head. Also, their coffee is seriously overrated. I'd rather have coffee from literally any other chain that offers it (A&W, McDonald's, Subway, etc.).
Edit: The donuts are just about the only donuts I've eaten in the past 10 years, so I wouldn't know how they compare to anything else. McDonald's introduced donuts to their menus earlier this year, and while I do like them better than Tim's donuts, I'd say their fairly comparable.
That's what Frank's Red Hot tastes like normally though.
I genuinely feel like the US gets it worse than we do here, even in the likes of McDonald's and Burger King.
I can honestly say nothing I've had in any of them is particularly great, but also nothing terrible.
If we want to talk "fast food" then Wetherspoons is probably higher ranking on the worst list than any actual fast food place

It is amazing how everything sucks at Tim Hortons. It might be nostalgia because I didn't have Tim Hortons too often growing up but even the donuts and coffee are bad now.
I never understood why people like these
Mystery meat slathered in some sort of mystery sauce. The texture of rubber with the taste of ketchup mixed with bbq sauce and then left out in the sun for a week or so.
Since OP brought up the spicy McNuggets...
I don't like spicy foods and my local McDonalds must be using the same fryer for regular McNuggets as they do the spicy ones cause now they regular ones are spicy too. So now I loathe the spicy McNuggets for ruining the crappy food I eat when I'm too lazy to make something else.
Can't a person get some good ol fashioned deep fried pink slime.
=[

I've always laugh at how people think could figure out exactly what food from a me gives you food poisoning.
They don't make them the same anymore. It was my favorite too back then.
Their sauce is always vile imo the nuggets seem to vary ive had two batched one tasted okay the other was actually spicy i will go with burger king chicken sandwiches their bread is nasty as can be.So I tried the Spicy McNuggets at McDonald's the other day and they were quite tasty. I'd probably still prefer Wendy's spicy nuggets (especially since they seemingly improved the formula after bringing them back last year), but still good for a drunk Uber Eats order. I asked for the mighty sauce but they accidentally gave me their buffalo sauce which whatever. I'm sure buffalo sauce would work in this situation right?
Hoooooooooooooly shit I've never had something so vile. It tasted like Frank's Red Hot sauce mixed with toothpaste and an orange-flavored Swisher Sweets. Avoid at all costs.
What about you?
I mean, it was either the chicken or the Coca-Cola. I know which one my money's on.
KFC's old fries before they switched seemed to be the same. We'd pick up an order and by the time we'd made the ~5 minute drive home they were stone cold. The chicken was still hot, at least. The new ones seem to retain heat better, although I've only tried them once or twice.
Late 90s they had the big campaign for their change. I recall them being closer to McDonald's fries, smaller and crisper. They changed em to the Wendy's style now.
They also changed their Nuggets multiple times too. I think it is 3 as well.
Church's had this jalapeno popper wrap and it was among the most miserable things I've eaten. I don't even like jalapeno poppers. Not sure what possessed me to buy a wrapped version of it.
Edit: YES, Burger King fries taste like misery. Always cold and bland. I don't even order them anymore. Just the burger.

It's probably the most expensive major fast food chain and they degraded their food significantly over the years to profit.
Five Guys fries
Usually bad fast food is like "alright I can't eat this" but five guys fries is something legendarily bad. It can't get any worse.

Burger King taco. Most people would respond "why would you get a taco from BK?"
They were cheap and I like to try new foods. This thing simultaneously managed to be bland and gross at the same time.
McGriddles are a god tier fast food item.
That was your only meal of the day? Lol. Omad is a thing I guess
I got food poisoning from McNuggets in Seattle about ten years ago, so that wins by default.
But as something I actually couldn't finish, Hardee's roast beef used to be great when I was young, but they recently brought it back about a year ago. It was awful, the bun was completely soaked in some liquid from the meat, took two bites and trashed it.

McGriddles is my favourite fast food item ever, and I dont even like fast food typically.
This...its like the worst abomination I've ever had lol
My wife was interested and it was her first visit at Taco bell....lets just say she never wants to go back there cause of it lmao.
It probably wasn't the worst thing I've ever had, but I was taking a flight early in the morning once. I hate flying, and i was so anxious I felt really sick. I thought maybe if I ate something it might help, so I got a Burger King breakfast. Never thrown up so fast in my life, it was literally two bites.
It's quite honestly one of the best things to have in the morning after a night of hard drinking.
Any of the McGriddles. Weird sponges overly saturated in "maple" flavor that overpowers the rest of the sandwich and left me with an insane amount of heartburn. I had them a few times in a few different varieties, but I've never seen the appeal of them and think they are probably the worst item McDonald's has on its menu.
I also found the BK spicy chicken sub-thing unappetizing, especially in comparison to the true king of spicy chickens: The Spicy Tendercrisp Chicken Sandwich
Speaking of the worst spicy chickens, I also find the Wendy's spicy nuggets to be pretty terrible. Maybe I've had bad luck with getting them fresh in the past, but they always tasted like and the texture of very old and stale nuggets. Hard, crunchy, dry, almost burnt. Which is wild because I think they do a great job with their standard nuggets.

When they brought back the spicy nugs, they have a strong salty taste. The problem with the old ones were nobody was buying them more than the others. They would just sit and become stale.Any of the McGriddles. Weird sponges overly saturated in "maple" flavor that overpowers the rest of the sandwich and left me with an insane amount of heartburn.
