Hulaburger for Roman Catholics
The Hulaburger was the most famous flop of Ray Krok (the man who bought the small time McDonald’s company and turned it into the mega-franchise we know today). The burger was created in 1963 was aimed at Roman Catholics who were forbidden to eat meat on Fridays. It was basically a cheeseburger but with a slice of pineapple instead of meat. The burger was a disaster – unlike the Filet-O-Fish which was being marketed at the same time by a Cincinnati franchise.
