Changes in foods over time....

[ZEGH8578]

i just talked about that w my only irl aspie friend
like frozen pizzas ALWAYS cheap out on the topping, no matter the brand, they always cheap out!
there are some brands that cost more, theyre more poshy or whatever, but even there they cheap out...

we were celebrating this one spinach pizza, that had piles of spinach on it otherwise, you even pay MORE, and get just as little content as w the cheap brands.

theres a sandwich chain here, where they offer to give you extra filling for 10 krones more, and naaaturally, EVEN THEN, they just fuck you over, like its the most natural thing in the world, and really cheap out on you :S

I always buy Dr Oetker frozen pizza. They are always crispy and delicious.

theyre more sophisticated than cheaper brands, but theyll still cheap out on the ammount of topping :/

oh yeah,  drinks...

...lets just fill it with ice cubes from the tap - nice and cheap

You know McDonalds puts heaps of ice in their drinks so they don't have to use as much 'product' in the drink?

this is common everywhere, have you ever watched what comes out of drink dispensers?
you can clearly see the divide between the soda and the crystal clear water that pours out. its so disencouraging

I remember when cheeseburgers from McDonald's were 75 cents each. I would get two for $1.50. Now I think they are about $2 each.

I once went shopping in the city and ended my shopping trip with a stop at McDonald's, where I bought two cheeseburgers.
I then took a cab home but didn't have enough money to tip the driver, so I tipped him with one of the cheeseburgers!   

 

Thats brilliant.

That pizza looks gorgeous!

The Pizza Hut logo has changed and I think they have changed the outlook of their buildings. I still see plenty in their original ones and they still have their pizzas in boxes when you order it and have it delivered (Do they not do that in Australia anymore?). And it's still expensive. $10 now for a pizza but back in 1991 it was only $8.99 for a medium meat lover's pizza. The most we have spent for Pizza Hut was 32 dollars and that was with two pizzas and pasta and bread sticks. We have also used coupons for it.

Go on youtube and look up pizza hut commercials. It's fun to see what the prices were back then.


Oh and Burger King, back then they only had the mighty kids meal and the kids club for it was eight and under and every time they would raise the age, I was too old by then. When I was 12, it was now 10 and under and then i think it was 12 and under and I was 14 by then. When I was 13, the big kid's meal came out and McDonalds did the same too two years later.

I also remember the playlands fast food places used to have and now today McDonalds rarely has any. Burger King took theirs out in 1996 or 97. I remember Burgerville (a local fast food chang in my area) had them too and now they don't anymore and some Taco places had them too. Blame it on lawsuits and stupid and greedy parents.

Now fast food places are offering alternate choices for kids than a pop and hamburger and fries or chicken mcnuggets.

I have noticed the difference also Pizza Hut I believe used t use different oils in cooking the flavor has kinda gone down hill since the 80's.  McDonald's I know has changed the ingredients around to make it more healthful and have succeeded in killing the taste and failed at the healthful bit as well. One of the things they changed was a switch to all vegetable oil away from anything with any animal fats

I believe McDonald's used to fry their fries in beef lard, which gave them that special taste we loved!  

I remember reading in college about McDonald's fries. Guess why they taste so good ? Addictive chemicals.

That is the essay I read. Psh, English 102 or something ? easy read. Well, after I read that I was glad I don't eat McDonald's.

Also, I worked there a bit when I ws like 21

Guess what we did when the timer went off, saying the burgers were no longer fresh ? we reset the timer.

Yogurt is sold in smaller containers now, and "fun size" Three Musketeers bars are smaller too. Small, cheap servings!

The town I grew up in was 95% Italian, you had 2 places to eat pizza, a family run pizza parlor (they made awesome pizza) & the bowling alley. They probably would have run a Pizza Hut out of town.

I didn't eat at Pizza Hut until the late 80's when we moved here, but I remember it tasted alot better to me back then.

We hardly ever ate out, it was usually always McDonald's or the pizza parlor when we did. Yep, I confess I miss those enviromentally unfriendly styrofoam containers also.

Yes, I used to say there was drugs in their food to make you addicted to it.

Thanks for the link...the strawberry milkshake additives list is quite impressive! 

I rarely eat McDonalds anyway, but I do crave my Hungry Jacks Yumbo's....even though they haven't been around for almost 20 years.

While I am sure much of the info on food additives is factually true the web site it came from is big on conspiracies and some pretty weird stuff not sure if I would ever use it as a source wanting to be taken seriously

If I started getting fat I would cut down on junk and exercise more 

How much further can you cut down your junk past "invisible penis".

Hungry Jack's took Burger King to court in Australia for breach of contract and won. I never knew that.
