i too used to think this but I have noticed an uptick in quality again. It's been a while since I've had small finger

They dont have them here in Seattle, but last time I went to one in both Las Vegas and Texas, the fingers were literally the size of my fingers

Bordering on BK Chicken Fries size

Levi's is the perfect example. I was brand loyal to Levi's my whole life, but the last couple years they've gone to crap, falling apart at the back pockets.

Yep. If you use a wallet or put work gloves in your back pockets, they are done. It's almost like they engineered this flaw in to sell more jeans. Won't buy another pair.

Tommy Armour. They had one of the hottest sets of irons back in the 90's with their 845's, but have since devolved into a cheap rack brand found at Wal Mart and Dick's Sporting Goods.

You are SO wrong.

At least the one in Athens is the best, most deliciously consistent damn chicken finger joint you'll find. Everything Guthrie's used to be (and even in the same building). Zaxby's has nothing on them when it comes to just straight-up chicken fingers.

This is what I was going to post. When I was a kid Mongoose bikes were awesome. You had to get them at bike shops. Now you can get some cheap piece of shite at Walmart with the Mongoose name on it.

This is true of Starter, too. As kid, this was the brand everyone who had money was sporting. Now? Walmart brand.

Same with stuff like Umbro.

Target
Bed Bath & Beyond
Dillard's

Go to Chik-Fil-A and order extra Chik-Fil-A sauce. Save them. When you get enough, make you a salad and use that on a salad mixed with a little ranch dressing. Damn, it's good!

Now, go to Cane's. Their dip is what? Ketchup and mayo mixed together with some pickle juice? Try asking for extra. They want $0.50 for each extra dip.

You're nuts. Or maybe things are reverse there to what they are here. Ours is perfect. Every time. 12:00pm on a Tuesday, 1:00am on a Friday night....doesn't matter, always the same, always great.

idk man. Maybe it's because there has only been Canes in BR for so long but the quality became terrible. I had stale, small tenders and soggy fries 4 times in a row and called it quits for good.

My Trojan Magnums seem to be running smaller and tighter these days.
