For me, it's Pizza Hut. It was a staple for me and the family as a kid. A whole ass event where I was more excited to go to play Rampage on the little arcade machine than the pizza itself. First time I saw a salad bar. Pizza was actually edible. The vibes felt homey. Now, it's utter garbage. PIzza bad, vibes bad, weirdly just expensive enough to not be worth paying.

Fuck I miss those Pizza Hut nights after a football game. The smell, the sound of families actually having a good time, the ambient lighting, the wood interior and hard ass booth seating. And if you were lucky maybe your crush was there eating with their family. idk, maybe I just miss being a kid, but the hut has definitely changed

My elementary school would have reading events where you could win personal pan pizzas and we’d go crazy for it
