Stupid TV

Know what drives me nuts?

Television advertisements. Er sorry, I wasn’t done. Specifically I mean television advertisements for chains that don’t have a presence in my area.

If I have to see one more ad showing me how awesome the food at Sonic looks, or the sweet succulent meals available at Boston Market, I think I’m going to up and move.

On the other hand, maybe the Travel Channel ought to start doing this. I just might go on vacation if I can get some Sonic or Boston Market out of it.

Boston Market used to be here then the franchise went belly up. Are there ANY in the Portland area? I know Sonic isn’t around as I’ve already looked for it a couple years ago.

There’s a giant Steak N Shake billboard on my way to dance. In Chicago, they only exist in the suburbs…boo!

Nobody back home knows /what/ I’m talking about with all our Del Tacos, In-N-Outs, Fat Burgers, and El Pollo Locos. It wasn’t until I moved out here that I even heard of a Krispy Kreme, though apparently there’s finally a way to get those back home now, like from some enclosed donut rack in 7-Eleven or something.

Yet, nobody out /here/ knows about Tastykake, which is a shame, because "Nobody makes a cake as tasty as a Tastykake.™"

Checkers/Rallys/Sonic are the same place with different regional names.

Back when I used to eat meat I’d occasionally go to the Checkers in Sarasota.

I would only go about every eight months or so, because that was how long it would take me to forget how gut-wrenchingly sick I got the last time I ate there.
