I have such good memories from my time in Fukuoka and the bentos on sale after a certain hour, it really was dirt cheap and super good. The japanese don’t fuck with food

There was a cheapo Japanese restaurant downtown. Plastic everything. Went there for lunch a while back. Worst Bento box ever.
Six months later. Hmm, Bento box sounds good. Go to this Japanese restaurant. Halfway through the awful meal, remember I’d been there! Swore never to go back. Again.
This cycle repeated SIX times.
What broke it was the whole building burning to the ground because of a grease fire.
Point is… hmm… Bento for lunch sounds good.

I had a similar experience involving pizza. Growing up I remember eating sbarro. I remember liking it. I know I liked the look of how shiny the pizza looked. It reminded me of cartoon pizza.
Anyway, fast forward till I’m 30 year old man recruiting for the military. I was in malls walking around and I noticed the shiny pizza from sbarro. I ordered it. I ate it. It tasted like cardboard. I don’t know if they changed their recipe, but chances are my taste buds just grew up and had better quality pizza over the years.
Well…I’m a slow learner and over the course of about 2-3 months I ended up eating sbarro like 3-4 times. Everytime I saw that shiny pizza, my brain had a nostalgia hit and I just went an ordered the 2 slice and a drink deal. After the last time, I wanted to throw it away but I forced myself to finish the cardboard pizza so I would remember how terrible it is.
I haven’t had sbarro since.

The nice thing about pizza is that even when it’s bad it’s still pretty good.

For real. I’ve had very few truly awful pizzas. I remember the bad ones. Looking at you “Marco’s Pizza.”
