Who can forget this: 'The Burger With the Grown-up Taste.' I never saw what was so grown-up about it; adding more to the mystery was how they advertised it with kids showing opposition to the Arch Deluxe. You may have seen these type of ads on TV or, more prominently, on highway billboards. Thus, the Arch Deluxe had to be one of the most hyped products introduced by McDonalds...and also one of the least healthful by any food chain. According to an issue of Consumer Reports magazine, just one Arch Deluxe contained nearly 600 calories - the near equivalent of 15 Burger King Whoppers. Based on the average diet, that's about 1/4-1/3 of what you need for the whole day! The article put it best: 'Hardly what your arteries need.' I guess the kids DID have every right not to like the Arch Deluxe...who's gonna miss it now? I didn't think so.

The following are comments left about McDonald's Arch Deluxe from site visitors such as yourself. They are not spell checked or reviewed for accuracy. The Arche Deluxe was amazingly good. The sauce really made it unique.
I loved the Arch Deluxe, especially the peppered bacon. This was a sandwich I could never get tired of. I worked at McDonald's when this came out and most of my break meals included the Arch. They said this was an "adult sandwich" and I remember seeing commericals with kids frowning upon it. If there's any "adult" sandwich that kids love to hate and that I love it's the Arch. It should never have left the menu. I have dreams about McDonald's putting it back on the permanent menu and keeping it there for all time!
i too loved the arch deluxe...a stoner's delight.
I liked the other arch sandwiches. The arch crispy chicken was so good. The bread they used tasted a lot better.
I'll always long for the Arch Deluxe. I remember it fondly. Came out in the spring of 1996. I was away at college and the Arch Deluxe was a night of fine dining back then. A very good sandwich worthy of a petition to McDonald's for it's reinstatement. Let's unite to bring back the Arch Deluxe!
I loved the Arch Deluxe. I was in high school at the time and would get one every day after practice it seemed like. We had like 100 coupons which made the sandwich only $1.00 and with the meal you'd get a sheet of sports cards, football mostly. Maybe it wouldn't be as good now days however they should bring it back for a while.
"just one Arch Deluxe contained nearly 600 calories - the near equivalent of 15 Burger King Whoppers." This is incorrect. A regular Whopper actually has MORE; 670 calories. Also, Double Whopper has 920 calories, Triple Whopper has 1160.
I loved that special bread too.
