#6: McDonald’s McDLT (1980s)
We have to hand it to McDonald’s: They really tried to bring a high-quality burger-eating experience to their customers with the invention of the McDLT. Merely a storage container that kept the warm and cold elements of the burger separate, their tagline read, “Keep the hot side hot and the cool side cool.” Despite the ingenuity here, the styrofoam packaging raised environmental concerns, which meant an eventual lights-out for the McDLT.
