rolling new food laboratory inventions for american chain restaurants thread

I would assume so

No word if they are served with a side of marinara sauce or Cool Ranch flavored ranch dressing

Fuck. I wish I could come up with this garbage.

it's not really the idea, it's the extensive breading experiments that make the idea viable

that's why we can't just give loaded doritos away to sub-saharan africans

These have probably been around for a while but last time I was in 7-11 they had these "secret flavor" Doritos in shiny foil bags that only have a number for a name so you don't know what they're going to taste like and I think they were being marketed as like "experimental" flavors. Like Russian roulette corn triangles.

Oh yeah! Haven't had them but I know of them from DORITOS POLL

I was hoping the breading was just crushed doritos

This was touched on earlier, but seeing this menu in real life gave me ptsd

Although I could go for some cinnabon bites tbqh

I really wanna try those. AM CRUNCHWRAP BABY.

yeah, I bet the AM crunchwrap is good.

That looks gross and I would totally eat it.

My understanding is that food in advertising is often doctored (sometimes to the point of not actually being the food advertised) so as to make the food in question appear as appetizing as possible. So I guess I don't understand why the food depicted in Taco Bell's breakfast advertising looks so much like tortilla-wrapped vom.

If you're eating at Taco Bell you've already given up

i've been eating soyrizo and egg breakfast burritos with half of a hashbrown in them and hashbrown in a breakfast burrito is the best

i appreciate those stupid ads where taco bell's like "man, mcdonalds don't care about the hash brown, BUT WE DO, do we put it in into our breakfast burrito, suck it mcdonalds"

There's a restaurant nearby that made hash brown-wrapped omelets that were amazing but they stopped making them and I stopped going there. Because what kind of a decision is that even.

can u get any of those without eggs?

so annoyed w/the prevalence of egg-centric breakfast menus

but but eggs are delicious

i am insane & don't like eggs

i like to fart & i am crazy

That's some cool waffle tech up there

When I worked at Taco Bell, someone ordered an "ice taco" – a wheat tortilla filled with ice, and cheese sprinkled on top. Why hasn't Taco Bell tried to mainstream this???

lol

iced cheese

fool me thrice...cheese on ice

convinced crabbits lives in a wim wenders movie

lol

It also has been spotted testing a biscuit/donut hybrid called “bisnuts”

huh if they're thinking about making something like a luther vandross burger version of a breakfast sandwich that would be right up hardee's alley, though it wouldn't be that different from a mcgriddle really.

I think that you could make non-gross versions of most of the Taco Bell breakfast items at home with basic cooking skills, and they would be far less greasy and overwhelming than what you get at Taco Bell and still be kinda greasy and overwhelming.

'WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?'

Thought of this thread when I listened to this earlier: http://www.marketplace.org/topics/business/chocolate-fried-chicken-taste-test

i'm currently eating root beer float oreos and thinking there could be a whole other thread for snack aisle products

then you could follow http://junkfoodguy.com/, he's no ßurgerßusiness industry observer, but he does seem to enjoy testing that junk out

I opened this tub of Limited Edition Pumpkin Pie Spice JIF Whips up and sniffed – decent pumpkin spice aroma! So that’s a win.

would spread

that looks exactly like dog shit

fresh from the doggy sphincter

If your dog's shit looks like that, it's time to go to the vet.

he already died

h/t Ned

surely this cannot be ascribed to human ingenuity, as if it were cooked up in a lab by a poindexter wearing meat goggles

the inspiration here is nature's grandeur itself

the science was in the focus group statistical analysis
