The stained glass lamp shades. The red booths. Beer for dad.

The first salad bar I ever saw was at a dine-in Pizza Hut.

I remember they had tables with video games in them. Blew my seven year old mind

Totally forgot about those! I used to play Warlords with my sister on one. It’s like PvP Breakout, with two paddles each, and you need to protect your own corners. Lost so many hours to that game.

Everything was sticky, too. Sometimes you’d put your quarter in the rim above the existing quarter, then after like an hour and half a pizza later, you’d realise your family was alone in the place and nobody had approached the machine. You’d go back and try to pick up the quarters, but the placeholding one was basically glued to the glass by coke and who knows what, obviously having been there for weeks.

Kind of amazing the coin slot didn’t glue itself shut.

Don’t forget the very first Personal Pan Pizzas, just for Book It! high achievers!

Personal pan pizzas are by far the best size! The small size means they get ultra crispy and don’t get soggy in the middle like larger pizzas do!

The salad bars had kale

For decoration

Because it tastes like shit and the only possible purpose it could serve is as a prop

I would eat it because I liked the taste. My mom thought it was inedible.

I'm just a terrible person, nothing fancy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

I'm sure some would find it useful as a delivery method for ranch dressing.

Why bother when I can just squeeze the bottle directly into my mouth?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, if you want to do that at the salad bar I'm not gonna stop you but others might not be as forgiving.

Proper decorum would require ladling it into a pitcher for the whole table then drinking it from red plastic cups.

I swear my hometown pizza hutt still had those just a few years ago. In fact idk if they actually got rid of them when they renovated.
