A DISCONTINUED menu item from McDonald's has caused fans to mourn the delectable food as they'll likely never see it again.
Fans remembered the long-lost sandwich thanks to a post online from a popular food and drink influencer.

The item was noted to be the McDonald's BBQ Ranch Burger, which was offered as a menu option from 2013 to 2014, according to the post from Discontinued Foods! (@Snack_Memories) on X, formerly known as Twitter.
They explained that the BBQ Ranch Burger was offered on a dollar menu but was quickly removed.
"As part of a revamped dollar menu, McDonald's released this burger, featuring a beef patty topped with mild BBQ ranch sauce, chili lime tortilla chip strips, and white cheddar," they wrote.
Several supporters of the axed burger professed their love for the item and claimed it was taken away from the public far too soon.

"My beloved. She was gone too soon. RIP YOU WERE TOO GOOD FOR THIS SINFUL EARTH," one user wrote with a broken heart emoji.
"These were awesome and I miss them dearly," another echoed.
A third fan added: "Give it to me."
Even so, others weren't too fond of the year-long BBQ Ranch Burger offering.

"It was not great," a disapproving customer claimed.
"This seems terrible. Way too much going on," commented another McDonald's devotee.
"This feels like something made for the Midwest," someone else joked.
The influencer was more focused on the dollar menu that the BBQ Ranch Burger was part of, as it actually priced items at one dollar maximum, allegedly unlike the dollar menu of today.
"The *actual* dollar menu was an insane gift, in retrospect," Discontinued Foods wrote.
MORE MENU CHANGES
As The U.S. Sun previously reported, McDonald's fans were left distraught just last month over the discontinuation of a popular bakery lineup.
The fast food giant quietly discontinued the McCafé Bakery menu just three years after it was launched.
Its menu consisted of the apple fritter, frosted cinnamon roll, and blueberry muffin.
McDonald's confirmed the discontinued products in a statement provided to The U.S. Sun.
"We're always listening to our fans and adjusting our menu based on what they crave," the company said.
"Starting this month, we'll be phasing out our McCafé Bakery line-up.
"We know goodbyes are never easy - but fans can still satisfy their sweet tooth with our iconic Chocolate Chip Cookies, Baked Apple Pie, and frozen desserts at restaurants nationwide."
The shocking news left some McDonald's fans furious.
"What are you doing taking the cinnamon roll off the menu," one X user wrote after tagging the company.
"Whoever is in charge of this should be fired."
Another person added: "McDonald's has gone way too far on discontinuing the cinnamon roll. This is McDonald's worst decision in years."
