Since I don't really eat McDonalds, I wanted to offer an alternative to Purplemansion's thread about McDees' failed products. Does anyone remember;

THE WHALER

I remember them being very tasty...better than the "BK Big Fish" offered now (of course it could just be my imagination)



BK Tacos


They had them here in NY for a little while. Tasted somehwat like the Jacks / Jack-in-the-box tacos.




AND since they've recently ressurected the Burger King himself...I can't wait for them to bring back Sir Shakes A Lot;

Oh God


Whaler

McAfrica

I used to like that ham n cheese sub and the bull's eye barbeque whopper with smoked onions and swiss cut in 1/2.

I ordered mine's MY way.

I miss the Whaler. The BK Big Fish sucks monkey balls.

meat paste!!!!

I remember those tacos. I got SO sick the first time I bought one. Then I prayed to the Taco Bell Gods and begged for forgiveness.

thats still my drunk staple! they got them here but then again this is cali.

I don't ever remember BK Tacos, wtf kinda mutant shit is that???

The Whaler is a pretty bad and tasteless name for a fish burger.
Tragically I didn't try McDonalds until 1987 and Burger King until 1997

its delicious with two cheese burgers fries n a dr pepper preferably drunken

They got the tacos here in Texas too. They're basically wanna-be Jack in the Box tacos. Jack's are better, though. That's MY drunk staple!!

johnart said:

i'm with you on that WTF

dannyd5050 said:

You have access to both Jack's AND BK tacos???

We have neither here.

I really miss Jack's.

My wife actually craved them during her pregnancies, and for my first 2 kids I could get them (it was a half-hour drive each way to a shady neighborhood in the middle of the night). By our third baby, the last Jack's on Long Island closed.

PurpleJedi said:

Yes we do! That's too bad about the Jack in the Box closing. Those tacos are like crack! That was nice of you to go the distance to get your wife those tacos when she was pregnant!

The Whaler was the best fish sanwich of all of the fast food joints. The current fish sanwich they have I would not eat if it were free.

They had chilli too, but it was very bland

Sir Shakes-A-Lot scares the living daylights out of me!

Burger King is what drove me to become a vegetarian 13 years ago

But I will go there and get a veggie whopper...WITH CHEESE and since I've started eating chicken again, I still love their original chicken sandwiches. You know, the long ones


Smooches;)

I want that!!!

It will be sooo bad for me though.

Yeah...in hindsight, it probably would seem offensive to people with Parkinsons' disease today.

Graycap23 said:

Yeah, the Whaler was excellent.
There's something about the BK Fish that doesn't quite sit well with the digestive system...

Vendetta1 said:

Me too! They're about to re-open the Arby's in the mall by my office. I'll be ordering one of those soon!
