Gone... And Maybe Forgotten

 

As I've said here about a million times, I live in South East Asia. I live in a country that's having some hard times, and it's reflected in its airport. The airport is fairly modern, medium sized, with a fair amount of retail space. The thing is, the retail space is very empty. There are a few stores that are open, but I would guess that more than half are either closed or left abandon. Included in this empty collection are two abandon restaurants, a Burger King and Swensons.

It's not often that you're freely allowed to wander around abandon restaurants, particularly ones that are kept in such great condition. The other interesting thing about them is the fact that they're frozen in time, when they were shut down. Judging by the signs these restaurants closed down at or near the beginning of Covid. I say this because there are many signs imploring people to keep their distance. 

While the Swensons was fun to walk around, the Burger King was probably the most fascinating. The fascinating thing is that many of the offers advertised at this Burger King are no longer available. It's interesting to see all of this promotional material in perfect condition that's just been sitting for years. I will give the staff of both of these restaurants credit, they cleaned them up really well.

The other cool thing about these abandoned restaurants is the fact that no one was around to stop us from wandering behind the counters. We could unlock all the secrets that go into making awesome sundaes or flame broiled burgers. 

We could also take our time and enjoy some of the many details that might be difficult to see if the restaurants were busy.

It was a lot of fun exploring, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought I'd probably rather have them open. As it stands this airport only has a couple of coffee shops open, so the food choices are very limited. I could have really gone for a big sundae before this flight.

Wednesday's Candy Links

Twinkie Update: It appears that Hostess may not actually be out of business, rumors of a mediation are in the mix.

Have you ever been to Burger King and not felt completely full, well in Japan that's no longer a problem, thanks to the burger buffet.

The Danish government had all these ideas about a fat and sugar tax, well surprise-surprise, it didn't work out.

Couldn't make it to the Chicago Chocolate Festival?  Here's some pictures to make you feel bad about it.

Thursday's Candy Links

News - There's a hold up at the 7-11. Candy news - They only stole candy.

"Cadbury cuts chocolate bar size without changing price"!!!  I think a protest in Bournville is in order.

Burger King is going to help you celebrate the Christmas holidays this year.

Good news for those paranoid about your teeth, some candies are better for your teeth than raisins.

While this article focuses on the fact that a brand of chocolate croissant in Greece has been recalled due to bacteria, I'd like to focus on the awesome name given to this chocolate croissant.

I Post News About Unhealthy Looking Fast Food

I'm not sure why I do it either. Do I post it because I love the idea of munching on insanely unhealthy grub for the sheer show of it. Or do I post it as a warning, particularly for you candy fanatics that should be eating balanced meals. I'm not sure, and frankly when faced with the option to actually eat these foods I'm faced with a similar dilemma inside as well.
