The coronavirus pandemic is forcing fast-food chains to slash items off their menus. And some may never return.
It's time to say so long to potatoes at Taco Bell. The era of Subway roast beef sandwiches is also over. And french fries — not potato wedges — now reign supreme at KFC.
It isn't unheard of for lost menu items to return from the dead. And some chains — such as McDonald's — have said some of the items that were removed during the pandemic will be served once again as business stabilizes.
But these 33 fast-food favorites, some dating back to the 1990s, seem likely to be lost forever. Whether they were cut due to the pandemic or because they fell out of favor with diners, customers will no longer find these items on menu boards.
