9. Hardee's: Original Roast Beef

In 1985, Hardee's launched its Original Roast Beef Sandwich with an advertising campaign that called out other popular chains like McDonald's and Burger King for not having roast beef sandwiches.

The fast food sandwich was removed from the menu sometime in the 90s, and later returned to menus nation-wide in April 2019. The re-launch was heralded by an ad campaign with the slogan "Save the Veggies." As part of the promotion, Hardee's partnered with the American Community Gardening Association to plant millions of vegetables across the country, according to a press release in Businesswire. Hardee's still sells the classic roast beef sandwich under the name Big Roast Beef, and it's also added the Monster Roast Beef to the lineup, which includes American cheese and bacon, but no veggies.
