A chain of
pizzarias that stretched across the
nation in the late 80s through the 90s. Until about 1994, they had a very
tempting selling point: You would get two thin pizzas for what other places charged for a regular one, for about 40% more
pizza mass for your buck. The quality of the pizza was better than what you'd get from
Pizza Hut at the time. In the mid 90s, they abandoned this offer, much to my
chagrin. They claimed that the new
single pizza had as much matter as the old doubles, but I highly doubt that. Plus, with two pizzas, you had a lot more options for
customization.
As I write this node, I realize that I haven't seen any of Little Caesar's cute commercials for a while. I wonder if they've gone out of business, or abandoned the Southern California region, where we called them "Little Squeezer's"
