| McAfrica |
 |
|
|
|
|
| The problem with this product was not the poor taste but a poor sense of humanity. When Africa was suffering from an extensive starvation, McDonald’s marketed their product with the name of McAfrica, containing beef and vegetable in pita bread in 2002 in Norway. |

| McHotDog |
 |
|
|
|
|
| During the late 1990s McHotdog was sold in selected McDonald’s stores located in UK, Canada and Japan. Despite its popular demand, those hot dogs could not just do well. |

| McLobster |
 |
|
|
|
|
| It was just the price that called the failure of this product. Nobody wants to spend $5.99 on a fast food that will not satisfy his hunger. Frankly speaking, even the appearance of this product is not attractive. It looks like “someone threw up in a bun!” |

| Arch Deluxe |
 |
|
|
|
|
| One of the most expensive campaigns in the history of McDonald’s was launched for marketing the Arch Deluxe, a hamburger that was meant for adults. The $100 million campaign showed that the taste was specially made for adults, while youngsters did not even like the hamburger. However, after the “adult” campaign flopped, there was a swift change in the management replacing the top heads behind the Arch Deluxe. |

|
| Hulaburger |
 |
|
|
|
|
| This product was the most famous earliest failure of McDonald’s. The cheeseburger replaced traditional meat with pineapple slice which was specially meant for Roman Catholics who abstain from meat on every Friday. Still, the Hulaburger could not attract the attention of enough people and was soon designated as extinct. |
