What Foods Have Been Ruined?

Kraft Processed Cheese slices and wonder bread.
Used to be the perfect comfort food grilled cheese but now I can't bring myself to buy either of them. As well as the green can parmesan cheese. Can't do it.

pizza math: 1/4, 1/6. or 1/8?

I used to work at a pizza place and one summer we changed the way we sliced pizza. Originally our 12in pizza was cut into 8 slices, we changed it to 12in cut into 6... I'm not sure why the change was made but we were told to do it. So many of the customers freaked out about it and it was impossible to explain that you were getting the same amount of pizza just larger slices. But when someone calls up they can't picture how big a 12in pizza is and only want to order by number of slices. It just never made any sense to me.

I think the 9in by 4, 12in by 6 and 15in by 8 still makes the most sense to me.

Served: The Restaurant Coupon Invasion

I'm a coupon user. I've recently relocated to a new area and I use the coupons to learn about new places and try new things. My guy and I often spend more than the coupon and tip generously. Sure it fells a little weird the first time or two but then I remind myself I would never have been there without the coupon and if they give me attitude about it I won't be back either.

Thanks for the article however, I've been very curious how the whole deal work. Sorry to hear that the restaurant has to eat so much of the cost.

is bacon cheating?

Yes, I think it's cheating, but who cares. I use bacon to introduce people to foods they may not have otherwise considered... Don't like brussel sprouts? mine are roasted with bacon.... Everyone seems okay with trying them then.

To What Extent Are You "Brand" Loyal?

I think it's a lot of things that I grew up with, heinz ketchup and philly cream cheese top the list. However when I moved out I switched from my mother's miracle whip to Hellman's Mayo and couldn't believe the difference.

My boyfriend on the other hand will not buy anything other than Land o Lakes butter. His biggest concern about moving away from his hometown was if the new city would have the right butter. I guess that's what I get for dating a midwest boy.
