The Big Mac, the Beef ‘n Cheddar, Dunkin’ Donuts, Original Recipe KFC chicken, the McDLT, Stuffed Crust Pizza.

There’s been a lot of fast food items over the years, some delicious, some not so much. Some that are still staples at their respective restaurants, some that became extinct and at least one that comes back twice a year to satisfy the taste buds of some very weird people.

That later one, the McRib,  from McDonalds of course, debuted in 1981 and still makes fans freak out upon it’s return.  Other Mickey D’s items, have disappeared forever, like the McDLT, the Big n’ Tasty, the McLean, the McDonald’s pizza and thankfully the McLobster. Can you even imagine eating lobster there? Yikes.

MSN.com put up a fun little slideshow of fast food items that debuted every year since 1946. It’s kinda fun to scroll thru and not only see what food item was born the same year you were but a trip down memory lane as well.  You might hear your tummy growl while viewing.
