Great video explaining how restaurants are going back to their old ways. Pizza Hut, Burger King, KFC and others

Their burgers 20 years ago were the absolute best

Nostalgia bait fads that will pass once the novelty wears off

Millennials LOVE nostalgia like no other generation

They really do. They love DVDs, vinyl records, walkmans, 70s, 80s, 90s stuff, etc. they love classic rock music and classic alternative rock music as well

I think it's pretty cool actually plus people my age love the old school vibes we grew up with so it could be a huge plus for businesses to sprinkle in their old school marketing

Yeah, but modernism sucks arse and has no character. At least this separates those locations from every other pizza place that looks the exact same no matter what name is on the sign.

McDonald's could fix a lot of their issues by going back to this vs the new drab look












It's part of the complaint people have about private equity. Everything turns to the same boring look.

I'm not arguing against this, but this is a fad that will not last. People will get a dopamine from nostalgia that will wear off quickly and then there will be no incentive to go to these places.

There's a reason why all of this change happened. Same thing with the color of cars. This is a consumer driven development across the board. That end the fact that a lot of these fast food companies are really real estate companies and making these buildings idiosyncratic kills the value when the stores close.

Bruh, Mexican restaurants can be made out of any building, no matter how they look.

Not really.


Plenty of companies try to change what worked for them just to fail.


I don't expect an autistic lawyer to understand these things.

Melennials experienced both the pre-social media and pre-9/11 world so it makes sense. Everything has been shite since. Millennials got the biggest bait and switch when it comes to the reality they were expecting/promised and what they eneded up getting. At least for subsequent generations they never experienced the world prior to the year 2000 so they dont know what they're missing.

You don't know what you are arguing.


You just said millennials love nostalgia. If you believe that to be true, you'd market to the largest group who are now entering their 40s.

Do you ever have anything positive to say? You have to be the most miserable frick on this site. Does always playing the contrarian get you off or something?

It's because it's designed to fail and be sold to the next dumbass left holding the bag

They have been closing those Pizza Hut restaurants for the last 30 years...would be silly to just go and rebuild them. You couldn't open a buffet Pizza Hut within 100 miles of a hood.

What’s wrong with Wendy’s? You want your burgers cooked fresh or something? LOL

It went down hill back when they changed the pickles.

I worked at Wendys when i was in school in my early 20's. Them 99 cent double stacks hit. Especially with my employee discount. 2 double stacks for a dollar.
