Yes, well, the focus of today has been food for me...and meandering thoughts.
1. My first question is. Pizza Hut. In America, in the 70's, did your pizza's from Pizza Hut come on a hard cardboard base, then a put in a big white paper bag, that I think was stapled, kind of up to a point? Looked like a house roof I guess?
See, I think that pizza from Pizza hut has changed it's taste over the years. It doesn't seem to taste like those first ones in the 70's in those paper bags. Or delight of delights, when we got to eat in and play with our activity sheet place mat. Pizza Hut used to be quite expensive to eat in back then and in the early 80's.
2. I confess also (I know it's bad)...I sometimes crave the styrofoam containers, and I'm sure fast food has changed now they make it fresh! Let the burger sit there for 5 minutes! That was the point of fast food in the first place. Last time I went to McDonalds, I seriously had to wait about 10 minutes for a fucking Big Mac and Fries....
The point of fast food is that it's FAST!!!!! I want in, and I want out.
3. Yumbo. In Australia, Burger King (we call it Hungry Jacks here) had a burger up until the early 90's called a Yumbo. Then they take it off the menu....never to be seen again, no surprise return....no 4 week special showing....nothing. I found a site where all Yumbo tragics like me lament the disappearance of this most fabulous, slivers of layered shaved ham and melted goey cheese delight...
