FYI: They're part of Yum! Brands : KFC Pizza Hut Taco Bell Banh Shop (minority investor) The Habit Burger Grill

I will continue to boycott their "foods".

And Yum Brands is owned by PepsiCo.

Oh my god no wonder they have shit sodas

Heresy! Pepsi is my sugar poison of choice!

Not since about 25 years ago. It was spun off from PepsiCo in 1997. And in fact it was not called Yum until sometime later than that -- it was never Yum under PepsiCo.

Edit to add: I still don't go there, of course.

Your body thanks you

Taco Bell was the last holdout with their $1 beef burrito (which was actually a double beef burrito)

They removed it and added shittier $2 items with less beef and more bullshit. Idiots ate that shit up, so we're left with expensive garbage.

KFC, lol. So fucking overpriced and it's shitty chicken anyways.

Honestly, with all the grocery delivery options, eating out just doesn't make sense these days. I haven't eaten out in almost a year since I got Walmart+.

since I got Walmart+

There's something really disappointing about reading that.

I didn’t know they scooped up The Habit. I love The Habit. Rest is crap. Which means they’ll ruin The Habit soon

Don't forget A&W and Long John Silvers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

They no longer own A&W according to their Wikipedia entry.

Habit started out so good and now it tastes like 'optimized supply chains' like all the other shit places.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I think you’re better off sticking to local.

You had me until The Habit. I will die for their pineapple teriyaki burger. Can't get anything like it anywhere near me.
