We’re all for the occasional indulgence, but some chains are taking “junk food” to a whole new level—and a downright revolting one, at that. These concoctions should never (ever, ever) cross your lips

Pizza Hut's Hot Dog Pizza


Love pizza? What about hot dogs? How about them together?! We’re sad to say there is such a thing. Pizza Hut restaurants in the United Kingdom recently unveiled a new offering of a “Hot Dog Stuffed Crust” pizza on its delivery menu. Bite into the crust and end up with a mouthful of salty, processed meat along with your mouthful of dough. For now, you won’t be able to get these stateside, but stay tuned. In the meantime, we say: God save the Queen…from a heart attack!

Taco Bell’s Doritos Locos Tacos


Loco indeed. Earlier this year, Taco Bell unveiled the Doritos Locos Tacos, which combines their signature Taco Supreme—full of gut-busting ground meat, cheese, and sour cream—with a new shell made from Nacho Cheese Doritos chips. Need we say more?

Burger King's Bacon Sundae


A bacon-topped vanilla ice-cream sundae was recently added to Burger King's national menu after a test run in Tennessee. Unfortunately, the bacon-overload craze isn’t limited to Burger King: Jack in the Box has a bacon-flavored milkshake that racks up 773 calories, 40 grams of fat, and 75 grams of sugar in just one 16-ounce order.

KFC's Double Down


While it’s smart to avoid white bread, we’re not sure that’s what KFC had in mind when they created the Double Down. This “one-of-a-kind” sandwich swaps bread for two slabs of fried chicken. And it doesn’t stop there: the rest of the sandwich consists of two slices of bacon, Monterey and pepper jack cheese, and some sort of special creamy sauce. It tallies up to 32 grams of fat and 1390 milligrams of sodium per sandwich.
