the mediocrity of Yum! Brands

AnonusAnonus
in General
Pizza Hut pizza smells funny. Taco Bell is...a bit underwhelming to me. As is KFC. Also they serve Pepsi products (considering the company Yum! was spun off from this is unsurprising) and not Coke products.

They don't own Long John Silver's anymore though...which might be good, as long as that combination Taco Bell-Long John Silver's by my house does not ditch the Long John Silver's part.

    Taco Bell's Meal Deals are pretty baller

    doritos, a burrito, and a medium soda for 2.75 or so

    haven't been to a pizza hut in over a decade

    I'd rather go to White Castle

    they got those sacks of onion chips with the horseradish sauce

    every restaurant should have some sort of horseradish sauce

    there ought to be a law

    the only old southern white dude I look up to in any way is one Robert Edward Turner, but you knew that

    You know what fucked me up about Pennsylvania?

    the fact that Dunkin' Donuts was like

    omnipresent

    I must have seen at least 15 different ones in my brief time there
  • Obā-sanObā-san

    one opened five minutes from my house a couple of months ago

    anyway Michigan is full of things that Colorado has none of: Meijer, White Castle, Tim Hortons...
  • Obā-sanObā-san

    no white castles?

    that's kinda weird

    not that you're missing out, onion chips aside

    There are Dunkin Donuts shops everywhere here, too, most of which are franchised. My brother complains that most of them are out of donuts by the end of the workday.

    I've never actually been to White Castle, but I had the food when I went to see friends back in 1999, and it was okay. Then again, I'm a sucker for cheap fast-food burgers.

    There were plenty of jokes about the White Castle sliders "mutating" like they were The Stuff or something.

    yeah, basically sliders
  • Obā-sanObā-san

    of course sliders aren't pink

    because cardboard is grey

    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I used to like Taco Bell more when I was a young 'un.

    Long John Silvers is usually good.

    KFC doesn't appeal to me because I'm meh on chicken and the aforementioned old white southern guy aesthetic

    Pizza Hut is fine.

    KFCs might be the least sanitary fast food restaurant, I seem to get food poisoning every time I go there regardless of what I order and that doesn't happen at say, Popeye's.

    There used to be a Long John Silver's up here that was adjoined to an Arby's (which I love), but they changed that half of the store to a Taco Bell.

    Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Popeyes is the best, but I often can't afford to eat there. Also, it's in the city, so I almost never eat there.

    I like Mos Burger the second best, but it gives me the best food, the smallest portions, for the most money. Same problem with Popeyes.

    KFC, McDonalds, Burger King...these are all fine for me. Not the best, but fine. Miles better than Long John Silver, where they serve you huge lumps of fried, tasteless fish and chicken, on a flimsy foam plate. They have the gall to serve little fried bits of nothing as food, what name escapes me right now. They don't even serve clams.

    Of course, I'm not an American. I live nowhere near America. So my experiences are wildly different from any of yours.

    also the stuff is a movie about this weird marshmellowy stuff that takes over your body when you eat it

    I just know I refuse to patronize the Chick-fil-A on campus.

    I'm surprised the two Taco Bells on High Street aren't closer to campus. You'd think there'd definitely be a market for cheap fake Mexican food for college students.

    There's a Taco Bell on my campus.

    Unfortunately, it closes at 8 PM Monday through Thursday and closes at 3 PM on Friday.

    I do frequently patronize it nevertheless.  My usual is a black bean burrito and a seven-layer burrito.

    For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.
    The one thing I unequivocally like about Taco Bell is Baja Blast Mountain Dew.

    Whenever I eat at Pizza Hut my innards feel like they're killing themselves afterwards
