As a former owner and operator of KFCs in Ohio, Thomas decided to ditch the chickens for good old American beef.

That shop was Quiznos, and they rode that wave of bizarre humor to become one of the biggest sandwich chains in America. But as quickly as they rose to the top, the joint famous for its weird commercials and toasted sandwiches has faded away into obscurity. So, what the heck happened? #quiznos #subs #weirdhistoryfood </video> <video> How Your Favorite Food Mascots Came To Be | Compilation Description: In the history of food branding, many faces have graced our shelves - we pretty much grew up seeing most all of these!

Description: Grape flavored drinks, gum, and other edible candies have been a favorite for many people. But, oddly enough, that designated flavor doesn't actually quite taste like grapes; we just associate the flavor with the fruit when it appears in junk food! Today on Weird History Food, we are going back through the history of when grape flavoring was invented, exactly how that flavor is created, and how it became the breakout flavor we all know and love today! #grape #artificial #weirdhistoryfood </video> <video> How Chili’s Got Burned And Came Back Description: In the pantheon of casual dining experiences, few middle-class fancy eateries have experienced a trajectory like Chili's. From their rustic roots to an expansive nationwide chain, this southwestern sit-down has seen all the ups and downs of the industry. But where many casual dining chains have entered a modern age of decline, the big red pepper has somehow re-entered the building. So, how exactly did Chili’s get its groove back? #chainrestaurant #chilis #weirdhistoryfood </video> <video> This Restaurant WANTS You To Have A Terrible Time Description: There are all sorts of themed restaurants, and favorite chains that we frequent, but, in all of those, we are talking about one that TRULY stands out.

Who knows? maybe you have had Dick's Big Meat Challenge, maybe Dick's Huge 12" Wiener, a little Dick Margarita, or any of the many offerings at Dick's. This is a place known for its surly waiters and waitresses, and sexual innuendos laid on thicker than the mayo! #dickslastresort #restaurants #weirdhistoryfood </video> <video> Death Of The American Steakhouse Description: As you could probably guess from the name, a “steakhouse” is a restaurant that specializes in steak. Or… at least claims to. They weren’t invented in the US, but it was America that turned steakhouses into a big business; and then, into a somewhat smaller business. In other words… Today we’re going to take a look at the rise and fall of American steakhouses. #weirdhistoryfood #steak #restaurant </video> <video> Every Shocking Ingredient In Your Favorite Foods | Compilation Description: Today on Weird History food we are offering a binge on your favorite foods! ..That is, what is IN these favorite foods of yours!

Description: Today on Weird History Food we examine something that everyone is well aware of - the cost of even the cheapest options in the past has gone way way up!

The family-owned business has been a local favorite for decades, but a shocking tragedy nearly closed it all down for good! If you have had their chicken and amazing garlic paste, which location did you go to? #zankou #chicken #weirdhistoryfood </video> <video> How Del Taco Tried And Failed To Crack Taco Bell Description: The Del Taco fast food chain has been a California mainstay for the better part of 60 years, building a fanbase that rivals that of much larger operations like Taco Bell. But what might be surprising to some taco "stans" is that Del Taco's history has always been entwined with Taco Bell's, and the two have been unspoken rivals in the fast food fiesta wars from the very beginning. #deltaco #tacos #weirdhistoryfood </video> <video> Why Sonic Is The Last Drive-In Standing Description: The Fast Food Industry exploded like a rocket after World War II. Among all of them, Sonic stands out. With a motto 'fast food at sonic speed', this particular brand had a unique twist from the start. More than anyone else, Sonic championed the days when customers could just roll up and fine dine on their dashboards. Though there have been tweaks over the years, that pleasure is still very much a part of what Sonic offers customers to this day! Join us as we delve into the history of Sonic! #sonic #fastfood #weirdhistoryfood </video> <video> Why Did Tony The Tiger Have To Get Hot? Description: Tony The Tiger has been around through all of our childhoods. Initially conceived as a child friendly mascot, he has gone through many transformations in his evolution. Today on Weird History Food, we examine a rather modern phenomenon that would have Kellogg's founder, John Harvey Kellogg, turning in his grave. You see, Tony The Tiger has become quite the Tiger in the Furry community! And now his hotness has become a viral sensation! #furries #tiger #weirdhistoryfood </video> <video> The Bubbly Rise And Shattering Fall Of Jones Soda Description: If we asked what you think of when we say the name “Jones,” you’d probably say something like James Earl, or Indiana.

Today We go into the history of the Kraft soda Jones! Maybe you love drinking Jones soda? Maybe you've even made your own labels? Let us know! #Jones #soda #weirdhistoryfood </video>
