When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

there's something special about the two shells that makes the whole thing. it's kind of light and flaky in almost a croissant like way? maybe? I don't know, I'm a fan of it even though it's overpriced. I, too, will be sad when it inevitably disappears.

You're correct, it's really the shells that bring it all together. They are definitely pastryesque. Please don't yell at me anyone reading this who goes to a Taco Bell where they burn it or they are stale.

The Arch Deluxe was awesome. And the advertising was geared toward making it look like an "adult" sandwich so high school me felt like a big boy.

I always sleep on this. It's good but because they don't have the picture on the menu I forget it exists.

They took it off the menu for a while, I think during the 1/3 lb burger era, and then brought it back super low key. It's pretty good ever since they went to fresh beef for the QP.

The extra cheese touches the patty its not the same.

Wikipedia claims that

quote:

"The McDLT was eventually succeeded by the McLean Deluxe in 1991"

I've never heard the McLean referenced anywhere ever in pop culture so anyone that wants to punch up their 4 minute open mic set is welcome to make the best of McDLT -> McLean humor when making a simile about generational failure of the 90's.

Rest in peace, the most beautiful & perfect ice cream in the world -- Haagen Dazs espresso chocolate cookie crumble. :smithicide:

There really needs to be a coffee + cookies & cream ice cream combination.

This has the added modifier of cookie dough chunks, but otherwise it's that.

Mocha ice cream with crushed oreo swirls and cookie dough chunks

I get it when Wegmans has that brand on sale, it's decadent. Great as it is, would be made worse if you put toppings on it. It is already "full" it doesn't need more cargo.

I miss Taco Bell's Chilito, aka the Chili Cheese Burrito. It was a greasy mess but it was satisfying.

Also Snapple Elements. Rain and Fire were amazing, but there were a lot of great flavors - towards the end of its life it felt like they were throwing poo poo at the wall to find a flavor that would take off. Ice-cold it was so goddamn refreshing it made you forget you had just walked half a mile in Texas summer heat to get a bottle.

I used to drink this all the time when I lived in the midwest. Is it dead now? I miss it :(

It was readily available in 12oz cans at Kroger until the pandemic but now it's never in stock so I haven't had any in over a month. It's still at Speedway (a gas station) in 20oz bottles if you get there quick enough.

On the whole, I find the generic Kroger brand stuff to be really good with a handful of exceptions as you noted.

I know this is supposed to be a memorial thread, but I love weird snack food, so I pick up a lot of stuff; it's mostly miss, but some of it is hit, and last weekend I picked up a package of the chocolate marshmallow Oreos. They are really loving tasty, highly recommend, get them while the getting is good.

Went to the store today and made it a point to look for this. No luck.

They had the carrot cake ones, which may be permanent now(??). Those ones are pretty good.


RIP Churro flavored oreos from last year.

Does anyone remember when Nestle released a limited edition Drumstick ice cream with an all-chocolate cone? I don't mean a chocolate flavored waffle cone, I mean the cone was made of milk chocolate.

I vividly remember eating these things in the early to mid 2000s or so (and making a godamn mess of my hands, clothes), but I'm searching the internet can't seem to find any evidence they existed at all. Please tell me I'm not crazy.

Also yes the Arch Deluxe owned
