Nostalgic Snacks That Were Banned or Discontinued

#38: Discontinued in 2004

In 2004, following mounting criticism of fast-food nutrition and the release of the documentary Super Size Me, McDonald’s discontinued the Super Size option. The move marked a cultural shift, signaling the beginning of healthier branding and portion control in the fast-food industry.

Fans were disappointed, seeing the end of an era of unapologetic indulgence. The decision also made Super Size a symbol of nostalgia, remembered fondly by those who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s. Today, it stands as a reminder of when fast food was proudly “supersized.”
