I'm not going to get into a ****ing match with you over Pizza Hut.
There were no chains of any sort where I lived, they weren't
advertised and I didn't know such thing as a chain restaurant existed
until I moved to San Francisco and learned about McDonald's, whose
signs were turning to the 100,000's at the time. I knew about two
Dunkin' Donuts too, but I didn't know it was a huge chain until
decades later.
