Those Siamese twin restaurants are perhaps my single biggest pet peeve (y'know, after the ubiquitous things like war, disease, and Britney Spears, if 'ubiquitous' is the word I want). Isn't the American population's collective attention span low enough, and aren't fast food places sleazy-quickie enough, without combining two into one? I mean, if you're getting some fast food and one person wants a taco and another wants some pizza, HEAVEN FORBID you should actually drive to two different places. All this fattening up and slowing down of the people is just a preparation for alien invasion. See if it isn't.
