A Quarter Century of Misery

Twenty-five years ago some fool bought the Poppin’ Fresh restaurant chain and renamed it Bakers Square.

Why, there they are both, baked in that pie, whereof their mother daintily hath fed.

Why? Why? How could you take a great name like “Poppin’ Fresh” and trade it in for something as lame as “Bakers Square?” It boggles my mind. I’m speechless. What do you think of when you want a pie? A square? No! Of course not! You think of those four and twenty blackbirds shooting out of the crust with a loud popping sound. Fresh birds, too. Needless to say, I have taken my custom elsewhere.
