    They didn’t like it and contend that no one really does, but they keep going back to order them.

    That would make for a good post theme: “Why do people keep going back for food they don’t like?”

    Off the top of my head I’m thinking about stuff like fruitcakes, chalk-tasting valentines hearts, candy corn for Halloween… except those all have a holiday / special day theme. Hmm…

        Good point in reality.
        Don’t some fast food joints (like McD’s) add artificial flavoring agents to the hot food such that they get diffused in to the air, whetting peoples taste buds?

        Point is that the food never quite tastes as good as it smells, and in fact might make you feel downright badly afterwards. Yet next time you pass by, you might just smell those delicious smells and make the same bad decision again.
