America used to do interesting fun stuff like this all the time, now we don't do anything

Our fast food places used to have their own identities, they were fun and vibrant. Now everything is just corporate slop with no identity

America doesn't take risks, businesses need to stop playing it safe and do fund still like this again for Americans. Bring some life back into our country




Innovation and risk taking is what this country used to do extremely well. What happened and more importantly how do we get back to doing it again?

We have not 1 but 2 Hello Kitty nights out of 81 Houston Astros home games so I don't know how much more you want the Astros to do.

They even sell Hello Kitty plushies in Astros gear.

As far as creative drive throughs, you gotta go pretty hard to beat the double drive through at In N Out Burger in Torrance, CA.

Taco Cabana used to have a double drive through in College Station but now they just have Fuego and Doordash.

Chick-fil-A does a pretty good job of having two drive thru lines as well.

Taco Cabana food is pretty terrible now. A couple of years ago I went to the one in Richardson and it was so bad that I've not had it since. Just went to Fuego's last weekend when I was down for my son's graduation and the food was very good and came out fast!

I'll eat at any fast food restaurant that puts Donut riding Mongo on display and then uses a Samantha voice to take the orders.

Have you driven around suburbs in Texas,

I have seen virtually the same retail business park/strip center copy/pasted a thousand times. It's a random mix of about 10-20 of yhe same chain stores and restaurants. The same look, the same signage, franchises and retail chains. Bland, predictable, boring. Copy/paste. It's what Americans want now. Easy and repetitive.

Was it a North Dallas suburb?

Then one would surmise "Americans" only want Indian food now.

I used to love Taco Cabana. I moved from Texas some time ago, but I went to one while visiting a couple of years ago. It was awful.

Back in the early aughts, and even into the '10s, Taco.Cabana was as good as many Mexican restaurants, but the last time I went it was just one step above Taco Bueno and Taco Bell. Not exactly worth their prices for sure.

Good for them for making fast food fun again. I know restaurants (fast food) in China and Japan do this. I guess the U.S. could learn something from those countries.

While still fast food, it occupied a good space between the places you mention and a sit-down Mexican restaurant. Now I would consider it on par with Taco Bell.

don't get me wrong, the Food and Service at Fuego is great but... Those of us who were a little more trailer park and a little less bougie have a hard time making the psychological adjustment from the old College Station.

You know, back before students drove $40,000 - $60,000 vehicles.

You need to get up to Frisco more often for some of the Desi options.

Every fast food place used to have their own unique building design. Now everything is the same rectangular tan box with a bump out in the companies color. They are all the same design, just different accent color and signage.

If my daughter in law the flight attendant ever flies in there, that's the first place she'll go. The Taiwanese love "Hello Kitty" for some reason.

I used to love Taco Cabana for what it was. Most where I live have closed.

I miss the days when McDonalds had some character. Their buildings were unique and playful. Back in the seventies and 80s the playground was fun. Now it is exactly as you described. A shame.

Frankly, I generally don't like cross-marketing products. In most cases it is annoying and not clever. The Marvel/NBA advertisements for instance were horribad. Every now and then it works out okay. The Hello Kitty/KFC doesn't seem too bad, but let's not get carried away with this.

The first time I got directions to go to the Big Chicken and hang a right, I was a bit confused.

It became very obvious what the hell he was talking about.

I hear ya. I still remember the $1 tortilla's (6) at Taco Cabana. But now everything is expensive. Believe it or not, Fuego's breakfast tacos are cheaper than Whataburger's breakfast taquitoes and taste a hell of a lot better.
