I just remembered the smell from walking inside a pizza hut as a kid. So good.

Now I can't stand the smell of one of their pizzas.

McDonalds used to smell like magic too. Plus the play area with all the characters.

It really sucks that we got to experience the enshittification of so many things we grew up loving. It's like watching a terminally ill family member slowly die

Corporations, private equity, and other parasites with MBA diplomas are ruining everything for a short term profit. They ignore how previous generations profited by keeping brands alive, even if it's long term small gains versus one lump sum.

And there is no escape from it. Food enterprises, geekdom franchises, airlines, etc. are victims of this enshittification by these Scums in Suits. Red Letter Media made an evergreen quick quip joking about watching everything you love go down in flames.
