Many popular fast-food items were invented decades ago and remain unchanged.
Chick-fil-A's chicken sandwich uses the chain's original recipe.
Other fast-food chains have similar menu items from when they first opened.

Many chains are experimenting with new menu items, like Taco Bell's lineup of Cheez-It items, as well as expanding upon old favorites — think Burger King's Fiery Bacon Whopper or Wendy's new saucy nuggets.
