There Needs to Be More Child-Free Restaurants and Businesses. Here’s How People Responded to This Opinion.

I have a feeling this is going to get some people fired up.

I’m gonna go on the record about this and I only have one thing to say: I don’t think it would be the worst idea in the world if certain businesses decided they wanted to be kid-free zones.

I really don’t understand why people insist on bringing their kids to breweries or even bars. It’s just weird to me. And I don’t think that most customers who are there to have a few beers in what are supposed to be adult establishments really appreciate it, either.

So should there be more child-free businesses?

Are you ready to dive into the responses about this from AskReddit users? Let’s take a look.

1. Oh, boy…

“Do you know the feeling when you’re just sitting at the restaurant with your significant other and the two of you just want to enjoy your food and each other’s company, and out comes running a little kid screaming their head off?

Most of the time the parents don’t bother to properly even address their kids’ behaviors. They just laugh it off at the distance or say “Oh, so cute!” and start filming their lousy kid? Or when you’re visiting the spa at a hotel, just bubbling away in a jacuzzi and in jumps a little kid who starts splattering around?

Or when you’re at the cinema, focused on a really interesting scene and some kid starts talking all over the place “Daddy, look at that!” multiple times throughout the movie.

It should be more normalized for kids not to be taken everywhere. There should be more places for adults who specifically don’t have kids for a reason. The obsession around “kids are cute and should be with everyone 24/7″ is disgusting.”

2. Bad business?

“Its’ just a bad business model. Most people have kids so you’re missing out on like 80% of your potential customers by having a child-free business.

Maybe in a big city. But that especially would never be a good idea in middle America. I live in the south and there’s people who bring their kids to bars, I sh*t you not.”

3. You’re in a dive bar!

“Midwest US. I once got scolded by an angry parent for language in front of their kid… at a dive bar… in a college town… on a game night Friday… while the parent had a beer in hand…

It wasn’t even like a food chain like BWW or anything, like can I not have a place where I can talk how I want?”

4. Tell us how you feel.

“A lot of people are just negative and want to be upset that 100% of the world doesn’t work exactly how they want.

And even if they haven’t experienced it they are upset that other people are living their lives in a way they don’t approve of.”

5. Not a problem.

“My view may be skewed because I love kids, but I honestly don’t see this as a problem either.

I can’t recall a time when an experience was ruined by a wayward child.

Perhaps people who post stuff like this are just extraordinarily sensitive to the presence of small humans in their vicinity.

In which case, I would suggest that perhaps they are too fragile for this world.”

6. Lack of support.

“The reason that there’s not more of these types of places is simply due to lack of support.

Childfree Apartments (I lived in one), beaches, resorts, restaurants exist but they aren’t cheap and you have to support them because they are cutting themselves out of a large money spending portion of consumers.

I see this type of opinion a lot on here and usually it boils down to someone having champagne taste with a tap water budget. If you think a family of four week-long trip to Disney world is expensive look up a few night stay at some of these adult only resorts.

If you aren’t willing to shell out for first class tickets then you wouldn’t be able to afford the price hike for a coach ticket on an adult only flight Malaysia airlines and others have proved people don’t want to deal with the reality of childfree accommodations.”

7. What goes around…

“The people moaning about other peoples kids were the annoying kids when some of us were their age. What goes around comes around.

That said I’d never take mine to a bar and they only go in pubs at lunchtime, if we’re eating, and rarely at that.

And unless you have a thing for Disney movies or matinee PG movies then you’ll never be in the same cinema as them. They ain’t watching Rambo 7 or terminator 15.

Adult only spaces are fine with me, but I have a feeling most people moaning are eating at Pizza Hut or McDonalds and then complaining, rather than being somewhere classy that’s actually aimed at adults.

If you don’t have to dress up to eat there then it’s casual and most likely aimed at families.”

8. Expensive.

“People ask for champagne but can barely afford beer.

These places would not be cheap. Most people have kids, families etc. so this business model would be removing a large demographic.

They could do it by being expensive but that would be out of reach for most people and this is why it isn’t that popular.”

9. I get it.

“As a parent with kids….

I couldn’t agree more. My children shouldn’t be causing you stress, anxiety, or anger while you made plans to go out and enjoy your dinner/movie etc…

I totally get it.”

10. Need some time away.

“I’m a parent that agrees and I know tons of parents that do too. When I get a night away from my kids I don’t want to have to listen to other kids.

When I say kids I mean anyone under 18 because a lot of times in public teenagers are louder or just as loud as toddlers and babies.”

11. Adults are worse.

“Before the pandemic I’ve worked with kids a lot, so I’ve seen my fair share of misbehaving but I can’t recall being at a restaurant, movie, concert or airport with overly misbehaving kids.

Loud adults tends to always be the more immediate problem. Like dude, stop screaming into your phone, it’s not that serious and move out of the middle of the aisle, for crying out loud.”

12. They gotta learn.

“I… don’t think so. Hear me out. How will the kid learn to behave if they are not taken everywhere? You literally have to teach the small human based on your own behavior.

When I was young we’d travel with family friends. A huge group of 15 adults and 20 to 25 kids. (Nieces, nephews and cousins were brought with us.)

We never caused a racket because we were always treated as adults and expected to behave well in public. We all learned how to act and would call out each other in case of sh*tty actions.”

13. Pick your places.

“As a parent who likes to have dinner with my family this is annoying.

People constantly complain about kids making a ruckus in restaurant and hotels. To you and the billion other people that complain about this everyday go visit more upscale restaurants and hotels.

When I want to have a kid free romantic night with my wife I don’t go to Olive Garden or Applebee’s and complain about kids being disruptive. Kids are part of families don’t eat at family restaurants if you don’t want to be around kids being kids.”

How do you feel about this?

Treats From Your Childhood You Might Not Realize Were Discontinued

Nothing takes us back to our childhood like our favorite snacks. Memories are made while celebrating a win over Capri Sun and Otter Pops or trading Cheetos for Ho-Hos at lunch time.

But not all snack foods were made to stand the test of time. You might recognize these 12 treats from your childhood that have actually been discontinued.

Discontinued Snacks That Millennials Will Remember

If there’s one thing that Millennials love, it’s remembering all the things they enjoyed from their childhood, in an attempt to escape the stressors of present reality.

And when it comes to stress, what’s better than turning to comfort food?

I’m talking Pop Tarts, Sunny D, Waffle Crisp. The kind of snacks you wished your parents would stock the cabinets with.

Unfortunately, not all snack foods stand the test of time. So instead of visiting the vending machine, let’s take a moment to honor these 14 discontinued snacks millennials will remember.

1. Allow me to break the ice:

WOW, I forgot how strong these guys were.

Image Credit: BuzzFeed

2. The fancy man’s snack:

You can never go wrong with peanuts. Unless you’re allergic.

3. That’s so twisted:

Only one way to find out!

Image Credit: BuzzFeed

14. Better left forgotten:

Part of what makes Oreos so satisfying is the crunchy, creamy mouth feel.

Image Credit: BuzzFeed

Ok, so maybe there’s a reason some of these snack foods were taken off the shelf. Not every idea is a winner. Besides, we’ve gotta make room for the snacks of future generations.

But Waffle Crisp. Waffle Crisp deserved so much better.

Nostalgic Tweets About the Good Old Days of 1980s and ’90s Fast Food

I can still see it in my head so clearly…

When I was a little kid and we lived in suburban Chicago, our mom would pile us in the car and take us ice skating at a rink a few towns over and Wednesday nights.

And after the ice skating…it was time to hit Taco Bell.

Now, we didn’t eat out very often, so going to Taco Bell was a HUGE deal and an enormous treat. And I still like it!

The 1980s and 1990s were a great time for fast food restaurants and people took to Twitter to take about those glory days after posts about how Wendy’s used to have a yellow color scheme…and things took off from there.

Let’s take a look!

1. Burger King kid’s club!

That was some good stuff.

2. Those are pretty cool.

I wonder if they’re worth any money…

3. The ultimate birthday party location.

You know you remember it!

4. That plate is on fire.

Do you have any of these stored away somewhere?

5. I’ve never been to a Roy Rogers?

Am I missing out?

6. Shrek for the win!

I always loved the movie tie-ins at McDonald’s.

7. Going back to the ’70s.

A total nostalgia trip.

8. Whoa, I don’t remember these.

Gonna have to get on eBay tonight…

9. I remember them well.

They were quite tasty, as I recall.

10. Dine-in Pizza Hut was da bomb.

That salad bar? Woooo!

11. Those are some wild colors.

Totally ’90s, y’all!

What’s your favorite fast food joint?

We’d love to hear from you!

Nostalgic Tweets About Fast Food Restaurants in the 1980s and ’90s

As a child of the late 1980s and early 1990s, I’d be a pretty big liar if I said I didn’t spend my fair share of time in fast food restaurants growing up.

I used to hit all the classics: McDonald’s, Burger King, Long John Silver’s, and my personal favorite, White Castle.

White Castle, oh how I long for thee…oh sorry, I didn’t mean to say that out loud.

But the point is that the 1980s and ’90s were the Golden Age for fast food joints, and people really have a lot of strong memories about them.

Apparently, a lot of these tweets got rolling because folks on Twitter were talking about how Wendy’s used to be yellow and things went from there.

Let’s take a trip back in time with these fast food tweets.

1. I want all of this right now.

Probably not good for the gut, though.

2. I still remember the first Subway I ever went to.

It was a magical journey.

3. The yellow Wendy’s…

Do you remember?

4. The best of the best.

The jukebox was pretty solid, too!

5. Wild ’90s colors all over the place.

Feels like an episode of Saved by the Bell.

6. There are a lot of cool McDonald’s locations out there.

A lot of stuff went down in those Playlands.

7. Styrofoam for days.

They weren’t too concerned about the environment back then…

8. I do not remember the McDLT.

I missed this one somehow.

9. Oh man, this was some good stuff.

It was always nice and greasy!

10. Check out that ashtray!

And those old Taco Bell wrappers!

11. Going wayyyy back with this one.

You never forget your first time.

12. Kind of wild to think about this now.

That was a lot of fun!

Okay, time to spill the beans…

What’s your favorite fast food restaurant?

People Share the Meals They Like to Make When They Don’t Feel Like Cooking

When I have some downtime and I’m not trying to rush things, I like to make a leisurely meal. I put on some music, take my time, and then sit down and actually enjoy the food I cooked.

But, as with most folks, life is usually pretty busy and a lot of times I end up making something quick (or getting take-out) so I can be on to the next thing as fast as possible.

So what are some good things to make when you don’t really feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen?

Home cooks of AskReddit shared what meals they make when they really don’t feel like putting in a whole lot of effort.

1. Nice and easy.

“Quesadilla.

And if you want some protein we make it an egg quesadilla. For anyone interested, you take a couple of eggs, scramble them, cook them like an omelet but immediately top with a flour tortilla.

Dab oil on the tortilla for a nice crust. Flip. Spread Monterey jack cheese slices on the hopefully not overcooked eggs. Top with another tortilla. Dab the oil and flip once more.

Perfection! I like to dip my triangle slices in salsa but spaghetti sauce works well too.”

2. An old classic.

“Grilled cheese and tomato soup.

I keep the Pacific brand soup on hand and pretty much always have cheese and a loaf of bread.

Panera charges $15 for what costs me $3 and ten minutes to make at home!”

3. I’m getting hungry…

“Fried rice.

Rice in the rice cooker, a scrambled egg, maybe some vegetables or leftover meat.”

4. Good point.

“Sliced deli meat straight from the bag.

Who am I trying to impress?

My demons?”

5. Sounds good!

“Toast is entirely underrated.

Whether you just put a little butter on it or fresh mozzarella with garden tomatoes, oil and vinegar; it’s good.”

6. It’s quick!

“Naan bread pizza.

One naan round with a spoon of sauce and a small handful of cheese.

Chuck in the toaster oven for 5 minutes!

So yummy and fast!”

7. Potatoes!

“Loaded potatoes.

Just grab a big potato, bake it (or nuke it for 10 minutes ), cut it open, butter it.

THEN… stuff it full of cheese, diced onions, shredded sandwich meat, whatever other goodies you have on hand, sprinkle some herbs on it, nuke a little more to get it all melty, top with sour cream, and enjoy.”

8. Perfection.

“Pressure cooker + box of yellow rice + cup of water + can of black beans + 3 minutes + natural release = perfection.”

9. Oh yeah!

“Nachos.

I always have tortilla chips in the pantry.

Brown meat with seasoning and throw random things at it.

Avocado, sour cream, cheeses, tomato or lettuce if any.”

10. As simple as that.

“Meatballs and Gravy.

Get some frozen meatballs, some pre-made gravy, cook it in the gravy for about 25 minutes, get some instant mash or rice (cook rice with chicken bullion because its super easy and tastes way better.) combine and boom.

It tastes like basic salisbury steak.”

11. Just like in college.

“Tuna melt.

This was my go to college meal besides spaghetti.

We’d do tuna straight out of the can, lemon pepper, and whatever cheese we had handy.

Grill it up and you had a cheap quick dinner!”

12. A quick omelet.

“I have a Spanish omelette variation that is a total cheat; I use bought salsa instead of making my own.

Always keep it on hand. Eggs, spinach, salsa, toast. May add cheese if I have it. Done in about 5 minutes.

My absolute laziest meal is a protein bar and a beer.”

13. Sounds like a good time.

“”Bangers and mash”.

Sausages with mash potatoes with onion and gravy.

Combine garlic, oregano and butter to your mashed potatoes for a good time.”

14. Yummy!

“I find myself reaching all the time for two things: eggs and dumplings.

The eggs I cook in butter and eat plain cause I’m an animal and I just love eggs and think they’re perfect on their own.

Dumplings, I just buy frozen ones and sometimes I boil them with veggies into a soup, sometimes I pan fry them.”

How about you?

What meals do you make when you don’t feel like cooking at home?
