How about a basket of piping hot, deep-fried chicken livers from your local KFC? These are just a few of the not-so-popular menu items that made ChicagoNow&#8217;s list of the 15 Worst Fast Food Fails.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps not surprisingly, McDonald&#8217;s is responsible for an overwhelming number of items on the list with 8 digestive disasters, including the above-mentioned McSpaghetti, the McLean Deluxe, and the Hula Burger. That last one was apparently&#8217;s McD&#8217;s founder Ray Kroc&#8217;s attempt to add another Lent-friendly menu option to the menu, by replacing the meat in a hamburger&#8230; with a pineapple.<\/p>\n<p>Burger King has its fair share of failures on the countdown. There&#8217;s the obvious &#8212; Could they ever have thought anyone would want a BK Veggie Burger? &#8212; and the arguable &#8212; I have to admit my fondness as an adolescent for the BK Burger Bites. But the brunt of the hurt dished out on the King is for his mid-&#8217;90s stab at classing up the joint by adding restaurant-like table service, with free popcorn while you wait!<\/p>\n<p>KFC gets a nod for those chicken livers. Taco Bell earns a spot on the list for thinking inside the bun with their &#8220;Bell Beefer,&#8221; which was really nothing but a Sloppy Joe. And then there&#8217;s Wendy&#8217;s sole entry, the Superbar. Writes ChicagoNow: &#8220;I never remembered people swarming around it like they did in the commercial. It always looked kinda gross.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But for all the strangeness on the list, the winner for biggest food fail isn&#8217;t something exotic, but the rather bland Arch Deluxe. McDonald&#8217;s spent a ridiculous amount of money trying to get people to eat something not as tasty as their Big Mac. Shockingly, it didn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think? Surely there are items that you think deserve to be on this list&#8230; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chicagonow.com\/blogs\/leshock-value\/2010\/03\/the-15-worst-fast-food-fails.html\" >The 15 Worst Fast Food FAILS<\/a> [ChicagoNow]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever had McSpaghetti?
