November 2022 · 4 minute read

THE most important meal of the day has gotten less exciting as fans can no longer order several favorites from fast food chains.

Fast foodies have been scooping up a quick bite for decades, but are now forced to find favorites elsewhere as their usuals have been axed.

Fans have had to say sayonara to items like Fruit Loop Straws, cole slaw from Chick-fil-A, and grilled chicken sandwiches from Wendy’s.

While you'd think it would get easier, it doesn't.

Fast foodies are still mourning the loss of their favorites as their morning routines have shifted.

The U.S. Sun has put together a list of five favorite breakfast foods fans still miss.

1. JACK IN THE BOX BREAKFAST WAFFLE SANDWICH

In 2003, waffle eaters finally got a sandwich of their own as McDonald's introduced its McGriddle.

But Jack in the Box lovers rejoiced when the fast food joint offered its take on the savory and sweet sandwich, the Breakfast Waffle Sandwich.

The item featured sausage, eggs, and cheese all sandwiched in between two waffles.

Launching in 2012, it never took off in the same way the McGriddle did and was quietly discontinued.

However, some fans are still calling for its return.

One fan took to Twitter writing: “I would do anything, and I mean ANYTHING to have Jack In the Box bring back the waffle breakfast sandwich. They removed it from the breakfast menu in 2014 and my life hasn’t been the same since.”

2. MCDONALD’S PARFAIT

The Fruit 'n Yogurt Parfait was available for decades and marketed as a healthier alternative to the standard greasy menu items most McDonald's love.

Popular Twitter account Discontinued Foods! revealed that the item was available from 1999 to 2020.

Served all day, the parfait came with low-fat yogurt, sliced strawberries and blueberries, and crunchy granola.

The Twitter account also mentioned that the parfait was given the ax during the pandemic when fast food joints were phasing out menu items where they could - however, The U.S. Sun could not confirm.

Initially offered on the McDonald's $1 menu, prices rose as high as $1.19 before being removed from menus, according to So Loyal.

3. BURGER KING ENORMOUS OMELET SANDWICH

The self-acclaimed king of burgers introduced its take on the breakfast sandwich back in 2005 with the Enormous Omelet Sandwich.

The sandwich definitely lived up to its name as fans got cheese, eggs, bacon, and sausage all on its famous long-shaped sesame bun.

While the discontinued timeframe is a bit sticky, customers first took notice in 2010 as it was gone for good.

4. DONUT FRIES

In 2018, Dunkin' launched Donut Fries, which featured individual pieces of buttery, croissant-style donut dough tossed in cinnamon sugar and served warm.

The company described this trend as, "Two words: Donut. Fries. You’re welcome, America."

Just in time for the Fourth of July, the item got into customers' hands, who were able to grab them at participating Dunkin’ Donuts across the country.

You could score five Donut Fries in each order for just $2 until sadly they were given the ax.

5. STARBUCKS ALMOND CROISSANT

This French-inspired breakfast treat was quietly discontinued within the past year and some change, The U.S. Sun confirmed.

While it's unclear why the croissant is gone for good, most items get the ax for a number of reasons - low sales being the most common.

This one hurt many fans as it was easy to grab and eat on the go.

Even Starbucks baristas were disappointed with the company as one posted a TikTok sharing: “A very quick PSA for those who do not know, yes Almond Croissants were discontinued and no it doesn’t make any sense why.”
