How Well Do You Know Crappy Pizza?

Or Times Square

That was the first one I ever encountered-- back around 1990.  We have a few in Cincy but their numbers are dwindling.  The one downtown in the mall food court closed down like a year and a half ago, but eerily it still looks like it just shut down for the day.

Seriously, what's the point of putting lettuce in a burger or a sandwich?  You're just destroying the taste of meat and replacing it with not much of a taste at all.

Has little effect on the taste, and your meal is slightly healthier.

9/10 on the quiz because I didn't recognize the Sbarro pizza.  Does Sbarro even exist outside of interstate rest stops?  Because that's the only time I've come across them.

Once in a while you'll find one in mall food court somewhere.

That's the only place I have seen them.

Sbarro's, the cure for constipation.

Why would you ruin a Royburger anything with lettuce what is essentially grass but with less flavour and nutrition?

Yeah.  Found that out the hard way on a flight from Dayton to Salt Lake City.  Thankfully my seat was back next to the bathroom.

Have you tried other leafy vegetables? (Rhetorical) The lack of flavor is lettuce's big selling point.

[Barrister]

Lettuce has flavour.

And the point of putting lettuce on a burger, or a sandwich, is for than unique crispy textural element.  For which you need nice, fresh lettuce.

So yeah - putting a single piece of limp iceburg lettuce isn't doing anything for your sandwich.  But some good lettuce sure is adding something.

This, iceberg lettuce is worthless.

Now, get some nice Romaine lettuce on there, and it's all good.

[derspiess]

Romaine is better than iceberg, but in many cases iceberg is better than none at all.

I use ketchup. It is a veggie, according to the gub'mint.

I like Swiss chard.

I like Swiss chard.

You turned into a foodie.

I love lettuce.  I eat salad as a complete meal several times a week.  I just find it to be a distraction when it's in a sandwich.  For example, I love steak, and I love sweets, but I don't put sugar on a steak.
