consumerist.com — From Arby's to Wendy's, the guide to all those once-secret items (like Subway's Pizza Sub or the White Gummi Bear at Jamba Juice) not listed on the back-lit menu boards of your favorite (or not-so-favorite) quickie eateries!

Stupid garbage article.I worked at an Arbys my first years at college and we had a huge sign on the menu with a picture of a French Dip, f**king ridiculous, more s**tty stories on Digg, proof that the people who Digg this s**t are retarded.

I still try to get the Volcano Burrito at Taco Bell sometimes. It was a promotional item for the Congo movie, but they never know what I'm talking about. 1995 wasn't that long ago was it??

I'm sure it's regional and rare, but KFC had (and a few around still have) cinnamon rolls. These are, still, the best cinnamon rolls I've ever eaten from anywhere.

Apparently, outback has a prime rib on the secret menu... Can't confirm cause I haven't tried to get it. Its like the outback prime rib special or something... All I heard was it isn't on the menu. But they will make it. And it is good :D

Next time you go to Starbucks, order a Strawberry Water. It's just water and strawberry syrup, but it's damn delicious. And it only costs 25ยข. So far I've ordered it at two different Starbucks and they seemed to know what I was talking about.

Okay, I work for Taco Bell, and have for a couple years..... We've had enchiritos, cheesy gordita crunches, and cheesy fiesta potatoes on the menu since their inception. It's no big secret. Often times, the border bowls are not displayed in the POP (what we call our "menu slots"), which you should definitely check out. Pick up a zesty chicken bowl, or a southwest steak bowl some time! I'm currently watching the new Diggnation, and they mention Taco Bell being nasty? Try going anywhere else. Believe me, Taco Bell has higher standards than your other McPlaces.

THE DAMN BARISTAS!!!!! Grow up and stop ur damn sniveling whining

i work at starbucks. it's also corporate policy that we cannot use things that people have brought form home for use behind the counter. there is a just say yes policy but i have a duty to my other customer to not unknowingly expose them to things they may be allergic to.

It's amazing how hard restaurant chains are fighting to hide their nutrition information. It's hard to eat well when eating out, especially when you have dietary needs or want to watch your calorie intake. Often food items that seem healthy and are marketed that way are not. For this reason, Wellsphere just launched a new service called Wellternatives that lets people find nutrition info for thousands of chain restaurants ? right from their cell phone or on the web. It also makes recommendations for a healthier alternative to your favorite restaurant meals, hence the name.
