Correct on both counts. Necco Wafers aren't bad, and the black ones taste the best.

They opened a place by my work called Burros and Fries and holy shit is it good. They have a bunch of different burritos or you can put what's in the burritos on top of fries. The burritos are about 1.5 times bigger than chipotle burritos for comparison. My favorite so far is the buffalo chicken burrito and then the surf and turf. I know it's only in southern cali and the one in AZ but if you get a chance you guys should hit it up.

I used to LOVE their spicy buffalo? (I can't remember the name) sauce around the same time. Might've been early 2000s. Either way, I used to order their tenders dipped in that shit by the caseload. Lit my asshole on fuckin' fire, but worth every second of the anus pain it brought. So damn good and the spiciest fast food item I can remember.

You should probably mention that this is part of McD's "Menu Hacks" limited time thingy.

The double big mac is almost impossible to eat without the whole thing disintegrating and landing in your lap. That thing looks much worse.

They have a "Surf and Turf" version which is a mcdouble on top of a filet-o-fish. I might try one of those next week now that work is making us come back to the office.

Only thing that has been hacked at McDonalds is the brains of the dumb dumbs who fell for this marketing ploy.

So Wendy's Super bar, Pizza hut Salad and Pizza bar and KFC buffett. What a time to be a fatty!. Yes for those who hadn't lived in the late 80's early 90's all 3 had a buffett, although only in certain markets and for a certain time period.

Pizza hut near me only shut down it's buffet like 3-4 years ago. Too bad it was an utterly gross and disgusting experience. Double Daves across the street is a pizza buffet and like 100x better, and they'd toss all sorts of fun pizzas like pizza's slathered in mac and cheese. Not to mention even cici's pizza was better.

I loved the variety buffets offered, especially as a kid. Only time I got excited about salad due to all the fixings. Peas on salad with ranch is still one of my favorite salad bar things.
Kinda funny buffets ensured their own demise by motivating people to eat to the point it became an unsustainable business model.
A few years ago the family would still want to go to the local mediocre country style buffet, but it was running nearly $20 per person, $15 for the grandparents that would barely fill one plate. Paying to offset the 400lb beefers at every other table. Just kept going over the years out of habit, I guess. Or to avoid arguments over where to go because at the buffet everyone was just equally unhappy.
I loved high(er) quality Asian or Indian buffets you could still find around military bases 20 years ago, but not sure they even do that anymore or if they're any good these days.

Older people when I was young in the 90's and early 2000's would fucking LOVE cafeteria style places. There's one place, MCL, that I REFUSED to eat at and used to joke they smuggled in everyone's medication into the fried chicken. But anyone 50+ LOVED IT. Why? I have no idea. You'd get your tray, go down the little thing and pick up things and then get charged per item. It was like the selection of the buffet but with major restrictions. No seconds, no manual servings. I just remember wondering why the fuck people wanted to pay $10-15 dollars (you had servers you had to tip as well who did your drinks) to get 1 MAYBE 2 pieces of fried chicken, low grade mashed potatoes, shitty macaroni, and jello for dessert. Yes, JELLO. Regular fucking jello.
Basically it was like gauging old people before they were forced into retirement homes. Definitely set them up for the lifestyle though.
