Chuck E. Cheese

[Dakini]

No one said it was healthy for you. In fact, I'm pretty sure Dakini said it was unhealthy for you. Just because Dakini doesn't want to abolish the fast food industry doesn't mean they're lying.

I don't want to ban it, just put a large tax on it.

Why? You haven't provided any justification for taxing fast food that couldn't easily be applied to sit-down restaurants as well.

Salt apparently isn't that bad for you as people say it is. I read something somewhere that the FDA or some other group actually declared the recommended salt intake lower than it actually was for some reason or another. I suppose you have to take in account other factors besides how much salt and calories are in the food. The average fast food (when specifically talking about typical fast food restaurants, not sushi and stuff like that) is probably less healthy than the average restaurant food if you adjust for how much you are getting. I'm talking about normal restaurant food too, not a pile of Texas Cheese Fries at Chili's.

The thing with salt is that it's mostly only bad for some people. For everyone else, it's fine, but at the same time, it's also used to hide shitty cooking (because salt is delicious) so it's not something people tend to overdo at home, but restaurants do overdo.

It might be possible that you can get more nutrients for your calories at a restaurant than at some fast food places, but that depends much more on what you actually order at either of these places. In either case, you're actually probably better off learning how to cook and making the food for yourself.

Stop making up lies!

I'm not making up lies. I cited a study and then pulled some numbers off Google. You're the one whose only reasoning so far is snobbery.

Do you know how much fat, oil, grease and artificial/synthetic things are in McDonalds?

Do you know how much of all of that is in restaurant food?

Also McDonalds isn't the only fast food chain out there, there are plenty that offer reasonably healthy options.

When I say restaurant I mean an actual restaurant, with at least above average reviews from the best food critics!

A lot of people would probably be better of learning to cook than eating out. Like you said though, it depends on what you order. It would also depend on where you eat. We might be thinking of completely different types of restaurants.

They make people unhealthy, so it is reasonable to make them foot the bill for healthcare.

The same thing applies there too. How about you stuff your food snobbery and try finding some actual studies or sources?

Sit down restaurants make people unhealthy too! Make the patrons of those places foot the bill as well!

That's probably not a good idea.

I bought Five Nights at Freddy's because the characters are cute. Animatronics are just like big stuffed animals that move and sing. Nothing creepy at all about them.

Maybe you don't think it's scary, but I doubt you thought they were cute. I think you're just fucking with us now.

The ones in the original game look cute. The designs are nice and remind me of CEC and Country Bear Jamboree animatronics. The only thing that makes the ones in the game scary are the gameplay mechanics and dark lighting. The designs are, in themselves rather cute.

It is true that we might be thinking of different restaurants as well, but I've been to some nice places and still ended up eating much more than I would if I'd just cooked something for myself at home (especially while in the USA, other countries don't tend to give portions that are nearly so ridiculous).

Professional food critics are by no means a good determiner on the quality of a restaurant's food or restaurants themselves anyway.

They're certainly not a good way to determine caloric or nutritional content of the food at a restaurant.

You don't like that someone has an opposite opinion of a pizza restaurant than you?

It can be annoying at times. I get offended when people call the animatronics creepy especially.

I would not be at all surprised if this thread is literally the first time anybody's mentioned the place on NS. If you hadn't created this thread, nobody on the site would be bashing it.

Um... yeah. Ball pits. They are awesome.

I've brought up CEC before this.

They got rid of those some years ago. Sanitary issues.

Indeed. My local CEC doesn't have them. They always had a reputation for being gross anyways.

The point is, you're complaining about us bashing the franchise, but the only reason we're doing so is because you started a thread and NSG loves to argue. If there wasn't a thread asking for our opinions on it, we wouldn't care enough to say anything about it.

Chuck E. Cheese establishments are putrid. I remember in the third grade, my friend had his birthday party there, and I found a moldy slice of pizza in the ball pit.

[Nickel Empire]

Haven't been to one, nor will I ever go to one.

Why not?

The nearest one is four hours away, and I don't feel the need to go to it.

Try going again. If their is a 3-stage in your area you should really go. You will have fun.

I am 18 years old. It would not be appropriate for me to go to Chuck E. Cheese.

Just bring your mom or dad with you.

That would somehow be less appropriate.

What would just be bizarre.

You are very strange.

It would not. It would be a great idea.

I am not.
