Most Expensive Fast Food Items (Taste Test)

Which of the most expensive fast food items are worth it? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Blank dollar foot long. Five dollar foot long. Wrong. Eight dollar foot long? Ten dollar. Nope. Fifteen dollar. Nope. Thirty dollar. Wrong. Actually, I don't know. But I do know that it's significantly more than it used to be.

In fact, the prices on fast food menu items across the board have skyrocketed, especially on some of the more extravagant creations. Could you imagine if we gathered up the most expensive fast food. items and put them under the good old Mythical microscope? I've been imagining it for years. It's time for The Fast Food Bling Boys Are Making It Rain at The Drive-Thru. That's Us. We're The Fast Food Bling Boys. Okay, numb nuts,

you're going to be tasting the highest priced menu items from six of the. most popular fast food restaurants, and then you'll try to match them to their correct menu price. If you fail to match at least four, there will be extensive consequences that I cannot get into at this time. There always are. We are starting with Wendy's most expensive menu item, the Pretzel. Baconator, which they describe as. It's a Baconator. Half pound of fresh, never frozen beef, American cheese, six strips of crispy applewood smoked bacon,

ketchup and mayo. Behemoth you know and love. But now, with our legendary pretzel bun, you can't top a Baconator. So, we twisted it. This is the most expensive item at Wendy's? Wow. Apparently. Boy, this is. Meat's expensive. Bacon's, six slices. Pretzels is expensive. Yep. It is heavy. How does it taste? I've always liked a Baconator. I like this.

But the pretzel bun is not an improvement. I-M-O-H? Yeah. I-M-H-O. Unless you said, in my opinion, humbly. That's what it is. Now, listen, back here, we have prices, and when this came in, I noticed something. Yeah. The prices are all over the place. Like, this is twelve ninety-nine. This is ten forty-nine. Seventeen seventy-nine. This is hurting you, isn't it? I can't figure out. which direction. it goes, because this is the cheapest of the most expensive,

eight twenty-nine. This is the most expensive of all them. Is this just, this is a random placement. Random. All right. But I think this is. What am I gonna do? I believe that this is in the ten dollar range. It's the most expensive thing at Wendy's, dude. Yeah, but there's eight. There's ten. There's ten. There's. look, there's three tens. I know. So you're feeling ten dollars? It's not seventeen dollars. There's no way. It's not thirteen dollars.

It's not thirteen. Well, how much is a normal Baconator? A normal Baconator is probably. Nine dollars. Seven sixty-one. So you're at ten forty-nine right now. Let's. Okay, we can. We can move these around. All right, let's leave it here at ten forty-nine. And. Yeah, it's. I don't love the pretzel. There's so many good burgers now. I just gotta say, the way that there's been a smash burger revolution in LA, it's very difficult.

to go, to go get a drive-thru burger. It's just real hard to convince yourself. Unless it's Shake Shack. or In-N-Out, sorry to say, guys. Move on. That's where we're at, next. Next up is Subway's most expensive menu item, a footlong size The Beast, which they describe as the sandwich that makes hunger fear. going to sleep every night. That's. That's a good one.

Hunger, fear. Oh, I wanted to. I wanted to do a little thing for you. Do it for me then. Here you go, Rhett. I did it for you. That's my half. I see tomatoes, on the other half. Well, you did one that turned it around. You did one. So, it's got. This can't be expensive. Look at that. It just looks like a normal sub. I mean, it. I don't know if my hunger is going to be able to go to sleep. Roast beef, turkey. It claims to have half a pound of meat.

and. Salami. Two times the amount of the. toppings. Pepperoni. It doesn't look like that. It doesn't have twice the amount of toppings. Well, it's supposed to. But maybe. when you ask an employee to make The Beast, they're like, really? I doubt it. I mean, it's got all the meats. that Subway has to offer I believe. This is the best meat that they have. The pepperoni. I'm just. When is the last time that Subway wowed us, you know?

Come on, Subway, wow me. Come on. Pull me back in. I'm not. I'm pulling for you. I'm not, but I'm saying that I am. If. a foot long was five dollars. Five dollar foot long. At some point. That's a joke. In the past five years, maybe. And then. twice the toppings, well, it increased probably to six fifty, maybe seven. Yeah, but five dollar foot longs aren't five dollars anymore. That doesn't exist. Right, but I'm just. Yeah, exactly. I'm saying they're seven fifty now. Okay.

And then I'm saying then you do double the stuff. This is in the. This is either. This is either the eight dollar one. It's gonna be eight twenty-nine. Or. we move the Baconator to ten seventy and put it at ten forty-nine. Well. I just don't know what the cheapest, most expensive thing we're gonna have is. Oh, that's hard to think about. But I feel like this. Cheapest, most expensive. This is the, this is the place where it should start. Yeah. It's Subway.

It's Subway. It's supposed to be cheap. But I'll also do this. I'll move the Wendy's to ten seventy. Why'd you do that? Because. you titillated me. Oh, I don't wanna titillate you. But you did. I only wanna titillate myself. Okay. You're such a dirty person. What are you talking about? I'm comfortable with my sexuality. It's not dirty to do it, but it's dirty to talk about it. Titillate just means to. provoke. a sense of anticipatory.

pleasure. It doesn't mean I don't have to touch anything. I can titillate myself with simply a look. All right, fine. I'm moving it back. That's what you get. I've moved it back. I can just. I've moved it back. I can just pass myself in the mirror and titillate myself. Oh, gosh. Next up is Taco Bell's most expensive menu item, a Cantina Chicken Bowl. Oh, this is new on the Cantina menu.

This is supposed to be something that's. healthier for you. So you've got these. It's their imitation of Chipotle, right? Chipotle bowl. Why is it dangling like that? Cheese, bro. Okay. I didn't know there was cheese in it. Yeah. Utterly flavorless. Oh, it's not bad. Well, don't think about Chipotle, and it might not be, but if you do. I'm just thinking about Taco Bell.

I'm thinking about things that would be at Taco Bell. Not in a tortilla, just in a. In a bowl. I mean, that's a disappointment, man. If you want that, go to Chipotle. But Chipotle and Taco Bell, I don't think they're playing in the same. It's not the same ballgame. I mean, this is the cheapest thing up here with the most expensive. It's gotta be the eight twenty-nine, right? I mean, it's cheaper than the Subway thing. It has to be. I agree with that. So if we move that to ten seventy, or we'll move it to ten forty-nine, we move that there. Maybe even there. And then we move the.

The burgers are square. I feel great about this. Don't forget that. Does that inform the pricing? Well. Or just a hazard? A square. and a circle next to each other that are the same distance across. There's more meat in the square. We know this. Yeah, there's more meat in the square. More meat in the square. That's what they almost, almost was their slogan. More meat in the square. More meat in the square. Then it became, where's the beef?

Hey, you know, we have a podcast together. It's called Ear Biscuits, where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time. And we wanted to remind you that every single episode. lives right here on YouTube, on the Ear Biscuits channel. New videos every Wednesday. We get into it. So get into it with us and you can call us. Yes, please. All right. Jack in the Box. And this is a Bacon Double Smashed Jack. I've seen. this advertised on their windows. They're trying.

to do what? They're trying to address the thing that I said earlier in this episode. Yeah, they did. And I don't know if they have, based on just looking at it. I mean, is this a smash burger? Well, it's so hard. Yeah. I mean, it's so hard to get that, like, really, really flattened out thing. You know, it's just a lot to ask in a fast food process. They don't have time to. smash. But it's pretty. I mean, it's got a lot of. What do you call that? Where they start breaking apart at the end?

Oh, yeah. Like the lace. The lace on the side. They want some lace, but it's not happening quite yet. This is apparently a limited time item, and it also has a new Boss Sauce. on it. I don't know what that means. It's not as good as a regular smash burger. It's pretty good for a. fast food burger. Yeah, it's pretty good. I like that Boss Sauce. It's very orange. There's a lot of meat here. That might be a half pound of meat.

This might be the same amount of meat that's on that Baconator. And there is. I think it's a little. Less bacon. Right. I think that this is putting me. Lower than Wendy's. Because you're saying. Boom, boom. Like the cost of ingredients? Yes. Because they're all buying them from the same place. It's not like. they got cheaper cows somewhere, right? So the cost of adding a pig.

to that one is putting it up nineteen cents? There is a pig on this one. Yeah, there is. It's bacon. But there's more pig on this one. Can we use the pork term? Pork. I'm really curious what. What's going to be at the? There's also a twelve ninety-nine. Like, if nothing crazy comes out, we're gonna have to completely reorient. We're really underestimating how expensive things can be in fast food land. Maybe. We don't know. We're just really shy to put anything here or here.

That's a problem for us. I mean, we. But we're admitting it. But we are openly admitting it because we're both in therapy. And we want. to get better. We're having a real tough time, guys. You know what? We're not perfect. I'm really freaking out on the inside, if you can't tell. We got our hang ups. Yeah. This is one of Panda Express's most expensive menu items. A Honey Walnut Shrimp bowl. It's tied with the Black Pepper Angus Steak bowl and the.

Firecracker. Shrimp Bowl. But we like this one the best. So, look at that candied walnut. And then you've got the shrimp. I'm always tempted to get this, but then I. I'm like, oh, that's too expensive. I gotta get. Is that really the reason you don't get it? No, the real reason is because I don't go there. Okay. Okay. Thanks for being real with us. I like walnuts, though. How many fast food places have walnuts, period?

Maybe on a salad. I'd say less than twelve percent. At Wendy's? There's no way this is seventeen seventy-nine, I'll tell you that right now. Because it's mostly just. Rice. Rice. I mean. But shrimp. Once you get through this stuff, this whole bottom part here, nothing but rice. There's no shrimp hidden down in there. But shrimp. are expensive because they're so hard to catch. Have you ever tried to chase one down? You got to use both hands. Yeah. Well, you really got to have two guys. or. Or, like, two anybody, right? It doesn't have to be two guys.

It's just two people. Right? One guy that's like. You really could have one person and a well trained dog, to be honest with you. I'll be the dog. That's swimming. I'm like. Right? I'm swim. I'm sending the shrimp. You need a shrimp glove. Do we have one? Do we have a shrimp glove. Do we have a shrimp glove? Okay, I'll pantomime. It just is a regular glove. that's sort of advertised as a shrimp glove. And it's a color that doesn't scare them. And basically it's like that.

There you go. Basically, that's how it works. I really thought that. You see how hard we had to do? Took about one minute to get one shrimp. I thought, Panda Express, this is a candidate for. this. But there's not enough. shrimp. To justify that cost. No way. If it's seventeen seventy-nine. But we feel good about thirteen. Thirteen? Well, what. What would be more than thirteen? It's just shrimp. Maybe that Pretzel. Baconator. Nobody's gonna pay thirteen dollars for a burger.

at Wendy's. No one is going to do that. Burgers are all in the ten dollar range. I'm just making stuff up at this point. There is a perception that. you should pay a little bit more for Panda Express. There's no drive-thru. Oh, gosh. We lost one. And finally, it's Burger King's most expensive menu item. A Triple Whopper. It is heavy. Link, we are so wrong so far, man. Well,

you're the one who's saying a burger can't be over ten dollars. I was wrong. Good gosh. Does yours have tomato? Yep. So does mine. Does it have way too much mayonnaise? Because it's from Burger King? Burger King, yeah. Yes. I mean, how do they consistently do that? Just. It's like a lettuce mayo, slurry. Do they just have a vat of that? Like a mayo drenched. lettuce vat? I like it, though. Hot lettuce. Good.

Burger King. Just tastes like Burger King. It doesn't taste like anything else. It's so. specific. I'm trying to figure out where I'm going in on this thing. That's a lot of meat, man. Having tasted all of the most expensive items from these restaurants. I'm not impressed. I mean, the most expensive things are not the best things, based on what I've experienced today. I don't disagree with you.

This is too much Burger King meat concentrated too, too tightly. It's huge. It might be. Is it more meat? Why would you do this to yourself? Of course there's no cheese on it. because we forgot to order it with cheese. Because that's what we always do when we're humans. Well, actually, we didn't want to put any extras on anything on today's episode. Yeah, but a Triple Whopper with cheese would be more expensive. Exactly, which is why we couldn't put cheese and other things on everything else. I wasn't critiquing us.

I was critiquing Burger King by making something default without cheese. And that. irks me. Which one has more meat? Because this one has. circle meat. That's three, but. wider and thinner. Bigger circles, smaller squares. This one has taller, fatter squares. Triple Whopper has more meat. Yeah, but. Yeah, but it doesn't have. It's not seventeen dollars. No, no, no. The shrimp's seventeen dollars. The shrimp has to be seventeen dollars. It's gotta be. It's shrimp. They're hard to catch.

You saw how it was. That right there with the walnuts? I mean, give me a break. You think that? Do you think that? I think that the Baconator is. more expensive than the Triple Whopper, by. Do you think that it's two dollars and ten cents more expensive? Because that's what you're about to say. Do you think The Beast? Do you think that Subway thinks that they can charge thirteen. dollars for that thing? Hell, no. Are the burgers all in the ten dollar range? Which would make sense. What I'm saying is, you think that that burger. You think that the Baconator is thirteen dollars?

I think. How could they do that? I think that they know that they need to price this punitively. So. To keep people away from it? Yep. I'm going back. I'm going back on what I said earlier, and I'm saying. Well, I already agree with you that it's more, because it's more meat. Well, I have a different reason, which is the one I said. But we're agreeing for different reasons. Right? Let's think about this for a second. Yes.

Yes. Do you want to know how many you have right. before you rearrange for your final lockdown? Yeah. If you want. If you want. If you're willing to tell us. Yeah. You have. two, correct. Okay. Only two? All right, so we've got this right. We got that right. And I think that somehow. How could anything be cheaper? All right. Only thing we got right are these two. Yep. And I'm telling you. I'm telling you right now, this is twelve ninety-nine.

Because they're idiots. And then. Okay, and then these just switch like this. And so what that does. No, no, no. Hold on. You just put. You put the Triple Whopper lower than both of those. Wrong. Yeah. So now we want the Jack in the Box. Jack in the Box? Oh, Jack in the Box There. Jack in the Box. Hold on. Was it just there? It wasn't there. And then. And then that's the. This is the Whopper. That's the Baconator.

We are locked in. Okay, I'm going to reveal from cheapest all the way up. Okay. Eight twenty-nine is our cheapest one, and it is. Taco Bell's Cantina Chicken Bowl. There it is. Ten forty-nine. is. Wendy's Pretzel Baconator. Holy moly. Well, I gotta eat, which is a good deal these days. Ten seventy.

is. Panda Express's Honey Walnut Shrimp Bowl. Something's going to be seventeen seventy-nine that's a? If it's Subway. If it's Subway. Don't you do it. Ten eighty-nine. is Jack in the Box Bacon Double Smash Jack. Twelve ninety-nine. is.

Burger King's Triple Whopper, which means seventeen seventy-nine is Subway's foot long, The Beast, and you only got one correct. Subway. Okay. Subway, come on. Pull up a chair. You do it. You're so consistently disappointing. What? What in the actual. hell, Subway? What in the. actual. fiery. people. screaming and gnashing of teeth hell are you thinking?

I am so sorry for you. I'm insulted for me. What are you doing with all these profits? You think that? Not making better stuff. Who do you think is gonna buy this? What? Seventeen seventy-nine. What? And I'm sorry to say that because you only got one correct we have the. world's most expensive trip to CVS receipt that I'm gonna need you.
