7 Reasons Why None Of Us Will Ever Forget The Glorious Pizza Hut Experience

I don't know about you, but for me, Pizza Hut wasn't just a restaurant. Pizza Hut was a magical place that only existed when you got a straight-A report card or had a birthday.

There wasn't a location nearby to my town, so going to Pizza Hut was an event. But I think that even those who went more often still know all about the power of the Hut.

Going to Pizza Hut doesn't seem like it's as big of a deal anymore, if anything people tend to forget it exists. But those of us who know the truth and beauty of a good ol' Pizza Hut know what they're missing.

First of all, if you see this shape when you're out and about, you know it's pizza time.

I know some of them have closed down, and other companies try to move in, but once your roof is shaped like that, there really is no going back.

Second of all, there's the general look of a Pizza Hut that is basically always the same.

To be honest, this photo was taken more recently than the 90s, but that's because a lot of Pizza Huts have not updated their decor in the least.

But why would they? Classic red booth? Check! Checkerboard tables? Check! Those iconic brick walls? Check!

Everything you need to make sure you know that you're in a Pizza Hut are there.

If you lived closer, chances are you got take out sometimes. This is a sight that could brighten even the darkest day.

Or if you managed to make it out of dinner without your sibling eating all the pizza, you'd get to take home the leftovers in one of these bad boys. And it was a beautiful thing to have in the fridge.

Then you've got to remember all the pizza innovations!

Stuffed crust is still available now, and is always the proper choice, but I remember the ads for the 'Insider Pizza' and becoming absolutely obsessed. Never once did I actually get to try the amazing looking pizza stacked on another pizza, but I still think about it more often then I should. Hey Pizza Hut, can you bring this back please?

Custom hanging lights were the epitome of class.

Such an elegant lighting source. I love it.

Drinks just taste better when the cup looks like this. It's science.

I don't what it is about them, but something about these cups change the way a fountain soda tastes, and just makes it so much better than it has any right to taste.

The buffet was everything we could possibly want.

Depending on your location you may have a different layout of the lunch buffet, but in general, you had a bunch of pizza options, a salad bar, and hopefully an ice cream machine.

There was something for everyone, and was the perfect solution for when you could decide what kind of pizza you wanted!

Pizza Huts are still located all over the place, we all just need to realize that their pizza tastes just as good as it ever has. Who else wants to go eat an entire pizza now? Because I know my mouth is watering...

Reptar Bars Are Back And They Are The "Superist" And The "Duperist" Versions Yet

Everyone remembers watching Rugrats as a kid, right? It was only the best kids' show ever. Those "dumb babies" as Angelica Pickles would say were a lot more clever than they let on, and in their many adventures they inspired us kids to believe that we could do anything. I mean, we don't have to question how or why a baby keeps a screwdriver in his diaper, because the logistics of where he got it or how he keeps it in there without hurting himself is beyond me, but that's not what matters here. What does matter is that these

Trix Cereal Is Finally Going Back To Their Classic Look And We Cannot Wait

Who else remembers eating a big ol' bowl full of Trix cereal in the morning before packing your lunch and heading off to school? Trix was the perfect cereal to eat, because a lot of us felt like we were tricking our parents into thinking it was healthy. Sure, we're eating sugary cereal, but it's fruit-flavored so obviously it's not as bad as Cocoa Puffs or something. Boy, were we wrong. Well, now we're all old enough not to care, we can eat sugary cereal if we want because guess what, cereal is delicious. But there's been one thing missing

15 Former Pizza Huts Now Trying (And Failing) To Be Something Else

We've said it before and we'll say it again, Pizza Hut is truly excellent. No, they aren't paying me to say that, but if they want to, I'm ready to make a deal. Back on track though, Pizza Hut has been around since 1958, and in their 60 year history they have managed to create quite the empire. Sure, a lot of other pizza places have come and gone in that time, and maybe they aren't as popular as they used to be, but Pizza Hut will always hold a special, pizza-shaped place in all of our hearts. If there

The Very Last Blockbuster Store Has Launched Their Own Exclusive Beer

Everyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s knows that Blockbuster was the coolest place in the world. Every opportunity you'd get, you'd rush down to the video store to search the aisles for your new favorite movie. You'd always check the new releases first, and if nothing sparked your curiosity, you'd head over to the older movies and search until something looked fun. It was always the best part of the week, and the fact that there is only one Blockbuster left in the country is kind of heartbreaking. 15 dollars later and you could have a blockbuster

Pop-Tarts Crunch Cereal Is Making A Come Back And The Wait Is Almost Over

If you were lucky enough to be alive in 1994 or 1995, you know that Pop-Tarts Crunch was the only cereal that mattered. Sure, it only lasted for those two years, but those of us who got to eat it, have been missing it ever since. It came in two delicious varieties: Brown Sugar and Strawberry, and honestly I can't pick a favorite. It was basically like having a big ol' bowl of Pop-Tarts and that's all we want. Pop-Tarts were already one of the most popular breakfast snack, probably because it was a way for all of us kids

Froot Loops Cereal Straws Are Coming Back But You Won't Have Long To Get Your Fix

A lot of us may have forgotten about the glory that was Froot Loop Straws, but we shouldn't have. Froot Loops were (and still are) one of the best cereals on the market, and when they released the straw version, all of us collectively lost our minds.Suddenly, there was the easy and delicious way to drink up all that Froot Loop-flavored milk at the end of your breakfast, and then a bonus little treat after the fact. It was absolutely perfect, and when they took them away we all suffered. It has been a while since the classic treat
