karijo has been sitting on the barstool playing trivia for 30 hours nonstop. sure, the score looks impressive, but when you consider he's averaging 2/5 questions right, you start to wonder if he should really be in that number 1 spot. ninja has answered every question correctly. he has a perfect score of 1 million... he's so stealthy and good at being a ninja that his score is hiding in the shadows and only appears to be 0. ----- |

Imma pull a joke_explainer here For anyone needing context, those trivia games are 15 multiple choice questions at a maximum 1000 points each, so max 15K points per game, with 5 possible answers for each question. You can change your answer at any time during a countdown period after the question gets asked but the point value drops steadily so the later you lock in the correct answer the fewer points you get. You also get three clues during the countdown. the first two help eliminate two random wrong answers and the last pretty much gives away the correct answer but only at the <300 point mark. So anything over 10K means you're either really smart or really lucky and 0 points means you either created a profile and didn't play or you're really slow on the pickup for fairly obvious clues. I've been playing these games with my dad at various establishments since I was junior high age and could only gnaw on wings and jalapeño poppers as the smoke swirled round before the state went smoke-free. Buffalo Wild Wings is hardly the only chain to run them, you also see them at smaller regional chains and even singleton/mom & pop watering holes that may or may not also serve wings. I haven't yet seen one at an Arby's but maybe that's the bright future we get to look forward to. |

if you're going chain restaurant wings, wingstop is orders of magnitude better 1. has a cooler theme (rad wwii airplanes and bombers and stuff) 2. wings are much better 3. somewhat cheaper 4. no servers means you don't have to tip steven for refilling your drink 6 times in the 30 minutes you were there stop trying so hard man i have drank maybe 1 1/2 glasses total |

So this fortune.com article indicates some hostile-takeovery moves leading up to this deal. They weren't just like, "oh hay can i buy yer shifty restaurant concept", they had to tryhard their way into it, which makes it even funnier to me. I have noticed driving around at work that there are new, smaller footprint, bww's going in to strip malls. I would guess the Arby's-friendly forces that have already gained traction are pushing toward a fast-food concept to compete with wingstop and other stuff like that, and maybe push more delivery like pizza hut did in the 90s. tldr: arbys and bww are gross pls dont eat there |

| "Our financial advisors tell us that Sbarro's is ripe for a hostile takeover," said Sbarro's CEO Denny Sbarro. "Accordingly we will be making a bid of 2.4 billion dollars for this troubled chain of restaurants. We believe that we can turn it around." Sbarro's CEO Denny Sbarro did not return requests for a comment. | |

Sbarro extended familial universe storytime: While working at a sandwich shop, a girl came in with two dudes. She asked for a free sandwich and I explained that the sandwiches cost money. She told me that she was Heather Sbarro, and that her dad owned Sbarro's. I said ok. She told one of her dudes to buy her the sandwich but both dudes had no money. There was an impasse. I told her that if she cleaned the front window of the restaurant, I would give her a sandwich. She agreed. I handed her paper towels and cleaner and she handed them to her dudes and they cleaned the front windows. I gave her the sandwich and then told her that she should share it with her dudes. She left with her dudes in tow and I'd bet money that they didn't get any of that sandwich. Heather Sbarro is a natural leader and long may she reign.

Heather Sbarro not only has the biggest slice of the pie, she has the whole drat pie piled high with extra pepperoni that she took from your slice of the pie. You can't help but admire chutzpah like that, along with her spirited mastication. ---------------- |

I was at the food court as a teenager once near closing time and Sbarros employees were looking depressed as always. I was trying to figure out what I wanted and the manager said ‘Hey, for 10 bucks I’ll give you everything left in the case.’ I paid the man and got two huge plastic bags full of Sbarros. It was like 15 lbs of food. Pizza, cheese bread, everything else. It started out bad, and got even worse cooling in a huge puddle of its own grease. |

look i know it's a whole nother debate whether fatness and fitness on an individual level are morally relevant but this was an entire society of people who 100% of them literally couldn't walk not because of an unfortunate disability but because they never tried, what do you expect |
