12 KFC Items Customers Suggest You Avoid, According To Reviews

Reddit, Yelp, and Google, as well as countless social media pages, are filled with some harsh truths about fast-food restaurants across the country, including KFC. In fact, KFC is a repeat offender and is rated one of the worst fast-food chains worldwide. One of the top consumer review sites has more than 6,000 bad reviews, with the majority being only one out of five stars.

McDonald’s may bring its 1,057-calorie Big Arch to America soon. Why it could be a billion-dollar burger

Already a feature on McDonald’s menus in other countries, the plus-size sandwich has two beef patties — reportedly weighing in at 8 ounces combined — along with three slices of white cheddar cheese, lettuce, pickles, onions and something called Big Arch sauce, all on a poppy-and-sesame-seed bun.

 

It adds up to 1,057 calories of burger feasting, per the British McDonald’s website, which is more than three times the calorie count of the standard McDonald’s cheeseburger (303 calories) and about double the count of a Big Mac (509 calories).

The bigger-burger story goes beyond McDonald’s, with other fast-food and fast-casual chains rolling out their own hefty offerings of late. Carl’s Jr., never a chain to shy away from meaty affairs, introduced its Cali XL burger, with two 3.5-ounce beef patties, in November. And Shake Shack SHAK brought out a Big Shack burger, which has two 4-ounce beef patties, as a limited-time item last fall.

And even if Burger King QSR hasn’t introduced any new supersize burgers recently, it does offer customers the option to up their Whopper game by making the sandwich a Double Whopper or even a Triple Whopper with added patties. The Triple version has a whopping 1,170 calories.

The Whopper is getting a makeover.

On Thursday, Feb. 26, it was announced that Burger King’s beloved burger will change for the first time in nearly 10 years.

The alterations are inspired by guests’ feedback, according to a press release, and make for a “higher-quality Whopper experience.” Specifically, three elements are new to the burger.

First, the bread is being swapped for a “more premium, better tasting” bun. But Whopper loyalists, fear not: it will still be a sesame seed-coated bun.

The presentation will shift in terms of the burger’s packaging. Rather than being wrapped in paper, the upgraded Whopper will be served in a box.

Lastly, the toppings will get an update. Each Whopper will come “stacked tall with freshly cut onions and tomatoes and crisp lettuce, tangy pickles,” per a release — all of which were ingredients already on the burger. Plus Whoppers will come with “better tasting mayo.”

The ¼-lb. beef patty will remain the same as its predecessor.

McDonald’s has a brand-new burger coming to U.S. locations.

The chain is introducing the Big Arch Burger, its “most McDonald’s, McDonald’s burger,” on Tuesday, March 3, per a press release. The burger is the chain’s “biggest” burger, according to the McDonald’s website.

The limited-time burger features two quarter-pound beef patties, three slices of white cheddar cheese, crispy onions, slivered raw onions, lettuce, pickles and Big Arch Sauce. The namesake condiment is described as having “a perfect balance of mustard, pickle and sweet tomato flavors,” per the release. The components are all sandwiched between a toasted sesame and poppy seed-coated bun.

The burger was previously tested in various European countries and Canada. It is a permanent menu item in the U.K. and Ireland.

Isn't it humorous that, every few years, fast food corporations change their packaging back and forth from boxes to wrappers?!

"The product looks cheap... Put it in a box"

...then a few years later "Cut costs and save the environment, wrap it in paper instead of a box"

... Then a few years later "The product looks cheap... Put it in a box"

... Repeat and repeat...
