If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
I swear, the fast food industry must be watching what my wife has eaten over the years at fast food resturants. They wait until she really likes something and then they proceed to remove it from their menu forever. Observe...
When we were first dating, my wife liked the Roast Chicken Sandwich at Arby's. They are no where to be found.
When we were expecting our first child, Wendy's Chicken Caesar Pita was the craving -- and those are now long gone.
The latest straw, my wife loved the Cabo Chicken Sandwitch at Quizno's -- which, as of this week, is no longer on the menu.
There have been others over the years, but I just can't think of them right at the moment (if I remember, I'll post 'em here -- there was something at Taco Bell and at Dairy Queen, but I can't remember what it was).
So I apologize if anybody out there has liked any of these things over the years and have come to find them disappear -- it's my wife's fault.

I'm going to miss the Cabo Chicken.

Waffle Fries at Long John Silvers
See, I could go on forever!
Jesse Thompson said on 04/15/07 @ 01:22 AM: Hmm, Mc DLT is now the Big Nasty though, that's just a name change.
KFC keeps adding and removing and adding and removing the boneless honey barbecue wings.. augh!
Carls no longer carries Green Burrito's standard Taco Salad, just the chicken muckity muck version I don't like.
McDonald's Big Xtra was a pretty good sandwich too. Nixxed.
Anyone here old enough to remember Soda Pop sweetened by, horror of horrors, sugar? lol!
Amanda said on 04/15/07 @ 09:56 AM: Wendy's removed the Spicy Chicken Sandwich then added it again about four times within two years. Now it's here to say, or so I've heard.
Oh, and I remember the Extra Big Mac with four layers of meat patties. I don't think anyone's stomach is big enough for that.
The Dren said on 04/15/07 @ 09:14 PM: The McDLT had a fatal flaw, if you don't remember the burger, it came in a box with two sides, bun and meat on one side, hot side stays hot, salad, bun, condiments and cheese on the other, cold side stays cold.
Therein lies the flaw, the cheese should have been on the hot side. Who thinks of a cheeseburger with cold cheese? Nobody. Everyone likes the cheese nice, hot and melty.
Just more proof in my head that McDonalds upper eschilon does not consume their own products.
