Sit down Pizza Huts

With those red cups

Fucking loved the Hut. Loved the salad bar,loved the sitdown video games. To this day, whenever/wherever in our travels we see one, we always stop in. Even though my wife detests it. Lol.

Nobody outpizza's the HUT

I literally said that to a friend last week.

 

[Scoot26]

There is still a sit down Pizza Hut in West Chicago.

Pizza Hut is pretty bad pizza. But I'll admit, getting those Book-It award personal pan pizzas, and a quarter to play Super Mario Brothers(slightly different from the NES version, so we liked to spot the differences).... those were good times.

I just used this joke on my wife the other day.

Me: How do you outpizza the HUT?

Her: IDK HOW

Me: Nobody outpizzas the HUT!!!

Would you like to expand upon what you found nostalgic about the 70's or was it just everything about the entire decade?

Big block El Caminos. The freedom and easy pace of life. The movie Dazed and Confused was how it was my junior year.

How many of the sit down Pizza Huts are left? I remember going there. Had a small buffet too I believe..

To you.

Some of my fondest memories that I know my kids won't experience (at least to the degree I had) was the freedom I had to do things. I grew up at the intersection of two busy streets, but as a kid I was running around crossing the street and riding my bike with my friends throughout the neighborhoods close to my house. I would go to a friends house and my parents trusted that I would be back by dinner time. I just dont see my kids experiencing that kind of freedom until their teenage years, while I had it when I was in elementary school.

You don't remember the VirtualBoy? I mean the SegaCD and the 32x were kinda Meh., but that thing promised the stars and delivered the sewers.

I remember being excited as hell that I knew enough older trivia that I was able to bypass the "age restriction" in the original EGA version of Leisure Suit Larry.

I also remember if you got the old Quake Shareware CD you could unlock the full version of just about any ID game (Quake, Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, The Master Levels, Heretic, Hexen, Deathkings of the Dark Citadel, and Wolfenstein 3D) with a simple keygen.

I remember there was some CD my brother got his mitts on...I want to say, "Forbidden Subjects III" but I might be mistaken, that had all of this hacking stuff on it and whatnot, but we saw this file on it called, "whale.avi". We both watched it and lo and behold, it was a video of the time when the Oregon highway department blew up a beached whale carcass using half a ton of dynamite. Note: this was back before the interwebs and all we had was the old BBS dial-up services with the Hayes 2400 smartmodem--so this was about all the video that computers at the time could handle.

I swear we were laughing for hours when we saw that...and the best part is: it never gets old--and if it does you stop watching it for 30 minutes and it's brand new again!

Thankfully, I never wasted money on a virtual boy -- I know of it now of course, but I don't even remember that being advertised when I was young.

Until recently the number one purchase of Kale in the United States was Pizza Hut so they could put it around the dishes on their salad bar.

The phrase "You learn something new every day" sounds cliche, but I have found it is one of the few great truths about life.

I didn't buy it thankfully. The neighbors did for their son and I just got to use it. It was still very underwhelming.

One thing along this line I remember as a teen in the 90's was that Sega failed to release any good games on the Sega Saturn in the US market--all of the good ones were Japanese only. You could either buy a $50 unlock cartridge for it ($50 in 1990's dollars), or spend $2 at your local Radio Shack for a DPDT switch and some wire, and wire up a toggle between region-locking to US or Region-locking to Japan. I was the only one of my group who knew how to use a soldering iron, so I ended up charging $15/console to mod it, and made out like a bandit for a few weeks.

Oh man... the record stores.
I used to love the free demos they gave out with purchases!

For those who didnt get the pleasure, you would buy a cassette and if there was a demo in the same genre available they would give it to you.
Some were compilations, some were singles and some were full albums.

I still enjoy some of the never-was bands that I found that way...leatherwolf, t-ride, pro-pain..but the crown jewel of my demo selection that I have to this day is "power metal" by pantera.
Thought they were decent so I took notice when they put out cowboys from hell and I bought it....became possibly my all time favorite album.
