Sonsofthesun commented on the word frankenfoods
"You know those weird mashup-foods that fast food, places keep gleefully launching into the world? Like that pizza with the little hot dogs as the crust that Pizza Hut put out. Or Taco Bell did, a waffle taco. Denny's put out a grilled cheese sandwich that, inside was not just grilled cheese but also Mozarella sticks, inside the sandwich. Hardee's put out a burger that had cheesesteak as the topping for the burger...So these Franken Foods or food mashups are extreme, of coarse there's no standard term so far in the industry."
