It’s a nightmare fast food scenario: One day, your favorite go-to order disappears from the menu, and you never experience its deliciousness again. It happens all the time in the fast food world, as restaurants like McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Chick-fil-A, and Wendy’s regularly rotate items in and out of their kitchens. What does one do when this happens? Start online petitions and campaigns to bring it back. And when the people speak, companies listen. The latest case in point? KFC is bringing back a fan-favorite menu item to select restaurants.
