Here are a just a few discontinued McDonald's menu items that many people have forgotten about. There are lots more, and we can't believe we didn't even notice they were gone!

1. Chicken Selects
Ugh. Here we go, the ditcher of dates. The one who got away. This was my standup at the drive-through, circa 2015. #1 on this list, and still #1 in my heart, are the almighty Chicken Selects. These babies were a part of my childhood, along with the five sauces I would individually order and proceed to spill all over the floor of the car (sorry, Mom).

2. McPizza
Brought to life in the late '80s, McDonald's attempted to compete with pizza companies nationwide. In a ploy to offer more dinner-worthy menu options, McDonald's presented their pizza menu which offered several toppings and a Happy Meal size. These pies never made it past regional-tasting, due to high prices ($6 per mini pie) and Italian-offending quality. A+ for effort though.

3. Fish McBites
Although the name doesn't exactly sound gourmet, these bites packed a punch. A personal preference to their big brother, the Filet-O-Fish, these bites were meant to be a seasonal Lent item, but stayed a bit longer due to popularity. However, this soon died out and McDonald's was forced to pull it from their menu. *Sigh.* Dumped once again.

4. McSalad Shakers
These were the perfect road trip snack for those health nuts out there. Innovative and healthy, these shakers seemed like they could be a huge success. Indeed, it seemed like a marketing slam dunk for the first few months. However, it quickly plummeted as consumers weren't lining up at Mickey D's for salads.

5. Super Size
Who else remembers that enthusiastic voice roaring through the drive through asking, “Would you like to supersize that?” I never had the stomach to hold all those fries, but many did.
Due to the backlash received from the Documentary, Supersize Me, McDonald's was forced to cut this feature from their menu.

Wow!

We have to admit, we're feeling a little nostalgic just reading about these McDonald's menu items that no longer exist! We're a little sad that they're gone, and surprised McDonald's did away with them because some of these were actually pretty popular.

Did You Notice?
