Dasani may have been decent sparkling water, but it seems like they were hunting high and low for a replacement to take on Bubly. Read more

I love how papa johns just does not get what people want, stuffed crust and flavored crusts are the bare minimum these days. what’s worse is they act like this is some big innovation that deserves to be excluded from all coupon deals. Read more

Good beer selection at mine (I wouldn’t call it great) and the service has never been an issue. I’ve been to others in the state and had similar experiences. Read more

Papa John’s is easily my third choice for a national chain, regardless of whatever is going on with John himself. I love garlic and oil as much as the next guy but Dominos and Pizza Hut are just a lot better consistently. Not to mention the variety of good local places. Read more

Papa John’s seemed to disappear off the map recently. Read more

As a former Papa John’s driver a decade or two back, prepping the sauce with the sugar (white sugar literally mixed in with the pre-made sauce!) never felt quite right. I drove for Domino’s too and the Papa John’s sugar addition just seemed unnecessary. Read more

One day they noticed a screw was missing from the enclosure of the camera and had to destroy an enormous amount of product out of precaution. Read more

Those peanut butter cookies that you can supposedly make with peanut butter, sugar and an egg? I tried, 3 times. 3 puddles. HOW. Read more

Shortbread cookies. They always suck. They either disintegrate in the oven, crumble too much to eat, or one time even though they were the lightest shade of golden at the edges, somehow tasted burned!! Read more

There is no need for burdensome regulation to fetter the genius of capitalism.

I am really amazed this is happening so much. When I worked for Oscar Mayer everything went through metal detector before it went out the door. I remember throwing out thousands of pounds of lunch meat because a part of a mixer had broken off and contaminated a whole batch.  Read more
