Another Fast Food Chain Is in Serious Trouble: Pizza Hut

Anyone notice how sly all the pizza places are regarding size and shrinkage? Remember when large cheese pizza used to be 18” or larger? Now they call a 14” pizza large??? 14” was smaller then a medium pizza in the 70s and 80s. My experience is from growing up in NJ and I’m referencing NJ/NY style pizza.

“They deserve to die for what they did to Taco Bell.”

Please elaborate.

We have a guy who works for Purina on a car forum I’ve been on forever, he says that they compete with Taco Bell for meat purchases . . .

Before Yum bought them in 1983, IIRC, Taco Bell was fantastic food. They made their refried beans at each location (you could see stacks of 50 lb bags of pinto beans in the back). They used real meat and fresh cut onions, tomatoes, and green onions. They didn't fill their burritos with rice, and they didn't make stupid crap like nacho fries.

It was nothing like the garbage they sell today.

Yeah, they been sued about the composition of their “ground beef.”

Yep. I just wish they’d bring back the combo pizza. All I can get now is cheese, and pepperoni.

Yep, for sure. I was asst. Manager of a Taco Bell in the late 70’s. We had a grand total of 7 items on the menu....Taco, Tostada, Bean/Beef burrito, Encherito, Frijoles and Bell Burger.

I started out at 16 frying up Taco shells. Your right back then almost everything was top shelf ingredients made on site. Had huge pressure cookers to make the pinto beans.

You could eat a bean burrito with one hand, without it flopping over and spilling in your lap. Pintos and cheese was almost a meal in itself.
