In a Flist post from earlier, [livejournal.com profile] drbear was bemoaning the healthification of America- specifically, that a Tombstone pizza factory near him had changed hands and would now be producing organic cereal.

I once saw a car cross three lanes of traffic to go there because the HOT! FRESH! light was on. :-p

They took away the Krispy Kreme! I loved that place! I can't remember how many nights we went out there instead of studying..(Ok, Maybe too many..)
