I don't even know. Just the long. It's like a fake piece of chicken with like cheese on it, lettuce and mayo. And it's like kind of long. It's's like on a roll or something like that let me get a fact check on that while you're giving your list I'll figure out what the name of that is I still I still get that to this day and you know people you know think of fast food all they don't got no desserts you know what Burger King does have right the Hershey Pie Sunday the hat is notch.
