So....food

Are we that bored with what we eat that they need to constantly be coming up with weird stuff like deep fried Cheeto coated mac & cheese sticks?? I mean, I do like bacon mac & cheese potato chips, but if Lay's had never invented them, I'd be just as happy with dill pickle flavor or salt and vinegar. If they'd never invented those flavors it would be a problem, though.

It's like Pizza Hut keeps coming out with crust and topping weirdness - why do we need this? Were people not buying the normal pizzas? I understand that they do it to generate interest and retain their market share, but does this really work? As in, if you haven't had a Pizza Hut pizza in years, would you go get one because they now have tater tot crust? Because it honestly does nothing for me and isn't enticing in the least. M&M flavors, I'm one and done. When they came out with candy corn flavor M&Ms, I bought one bag and never bought another one.

So really, if you're not currently a Burger King regular, will the new cheesy sticks make you go there so you can try them?

Nope. I think most of the really good stuff has already been done, and the rest is just noise. I like Pizza Hut for Deep Dish Pizza, can't get it anywhere else. I like McDonalds Mocha Frappe. It seems I like one thing from any given restaurant. It may be there specialty, or just something they do well. I'm usually disappointed when I try the new thing. Well, except the Taco Hell Chalupa, but then they tried to improve on that with the Quesolupa, which was a major fail to me. But, to answer your question. No.

Regarding pizza, I am spoiled by wood fired. In fact, when I'm ready to settle down in one place I might come back to SoMD, open a Blaze franchise, and make a billion $$ off the masses who are starving for excellent pizza that doesn't need hot dogs rolled up in the crust to get your attention.


I'm beginning to think there aren't enough people around anymore that appreciate a decent pizza. All the crap that passes for food has ruined everyone's taste buds. Top of the list for me is that plastic cheese **** they dump on tostitos and call nachos. I wonder if people can identify decent food anymore.

Oh my geez. I need to go to bed, but am so wired about what is going on in my life with our move. I think I am the only person in the world that does not like pizza. Just like I probably was the last person in the world to buy a microwave. :lol: I can identify with your comment on decent food because what my family eats is homemade. I am with you on the crap food. I try bringing home take out now and then, but it just doesn't work. And, frozen pizzas are the worst ever! My daughter makes fresh homemade pizza, but I am still not a fan.

One more thing that goes with your crap food comment. I have posted this before that my mom died of Alzheimers. The docs that took care of her told me they have seen a trend with the crap/processed food you mentioned. There is no published national alert yet, but they said they see a correlation between all the crap/processed foods we eat and the epidemic of Alzheimers. Just putting it out there again. My parents served and survived WWII, and then the boom came and life was good with TV dinners and all that. Just not good in so many ways.

I'm not a foodie or picky eater, but that stuff is horrid!
