Been cleaning out my parents’ house and bringing stuff to a local charity thrift store. I was surprised to learn they accept CDs, DVDs, and audio cassettes. VHS tapes and CRT televisions are about the only things they don’t accept.
I was sort of surprised that they wouldn’t accept my dad’s 1960s era golf clubs. Plan is to simply loan those out to new golfers who are not sure if they’re ready to invest in a set of clubs.

It went downhill when they changed the pickles
I feel like at some point they changed the BBQ dipping sauce as well.

People still love gimmicks and want something different.
People complain about Sysco supplying every restaurant. That's because what we have now is boring, drab places that all taste the same because Sysco supplies like 90% of places, and they keep buying out distributors.
If the places all look the same and taste the same, then what is the point?

What made Pizza Hut really good was they use to make all dough fresh daily. It's all shipped in frozen now.

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.
That's only true if the franchisor owns the real estate. Not true if the franchisee owns the real estate.
I doubt the guy who operates all of the McDonald's here in SWLA built that nice corporate office on Common Street off of simply owning the buildings for the past 30 years.

Same reason people said Cracker Barrel's rolls and pot roast went to shite IIRC

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.
bullshite. I don't have any choice what the McDonald's looks like if I want a Big Mac. This isn't like people choosing to buy white and grey cars. If you want McDonald's then you have to patronize a store that looks like some Soviet brutalist architecture. People weren't driving 5 miles down the road, past the vintage McDonald's, just to get the plain square grey one.

The real reason is it's cheaper to build and maintain a drab-looking place. That's it. Again, it's the private equity playbook. Not consumer-driven.
Elon Musk brings up a good point often of how human fashion used to separate whole decades but that died in the 90s, and you can hardly tell the difference in fashion from 2000 until now because any change has been slow and subtle.
I think a lot of that has to do with everything around us being void of character so we just accept no change and mediocrity.

He never does, he just jumps in wherever he feels he can cause frustration with a contrary take. He constantly pivots on a dime when proven wrong and simply moves the goal post. He just loves to argue for the sake of arguing, and enjoys annoying people. It feeds his ego.
He may even argue that I'm wrong about this.

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.
You didn't read the part about how this specific type of nostalgia won't provide long-term dopamine. You don't seem to understand how marketing nostalgia works.

Doesn’t even have to be Mexican.
Tons of restaurants in BR which clearly used to be a Wendy’s, BK, Taco Bell, etc. Even older more obscure chains like Mrs Winners and Rax.

Same thing with music. We used to have unique genres that would develop and help define that period of time- grunge, hair metal, disco, etc. Now a rap/pop song released today is indistinguishable from one released in 2011.

This is not true. Rap today sounds nothing like in the past.
Although, pop has been effectively solved and many genres have a pop version. The most glaring example being country.
There are plenty of pure genres out there, likely more accessible to you than ever before, but you won't hear them if you listen to pop-based outlets.

Wendy's taste like cardboard now. Bland

That sort of proves his point, where he said music used to define a whole generation
Elvis, the Beatles, the Stones, etc in the 60s, disco, hair metal, grunge, and gangsta rap are all associated with entire generations.
Tell me what genre has defined anything since the early 2000s? It's all basically pop, and I was in college in the early 2000s so this take is not some out-of-touch boomer take. Rock died, rap became indistinguishable from pop and so did country as you pointed out.
