What will middle schoolers do?

Shock waves are being felt across middle schools across the country. 11, 12, 13, & 14 year-olds will now have to find a new place to eat in their local mall's food court on early release days now that Sbarro has announced that it is in danger of turning off its ovens. Financial trouble has hit the mall-based pizza chain and kids (because I've never seen anyone OVER the age of 16 in a Sbarro line.....EVER!) will soon have to find burned-on-the-bottom-yet-not-quite-cooked-on-top-with-rubber-pepperoni-and-stale-cheese pizza some place else! WHERE WILL THEY GO?

It won't be Captain D's either. Apparently the debtors who Capt.D's owes money to have announced that they will come to collect starting 2010 and the "good food quickly" seafood chain doesn't have the scratch to pay up. OH NO! Somewhere Long John Silver is smiling. He will OWN the market! That's a shame too because Captain D's just changed its logo!

Lastly, Krispy Kreme looks like it might be in danger of no longer putting out the best glazed doughnuts EVER. Dunkin Donuts may make good coffee, but the glazed (if you can ever call them that) don't hold a candle. KK has been catching flack for so many people eating their product and getting fat and then trying to blame KK. Ummm, that's your fault fatty that you cannot eat just one. I manage to do it! You should be able to as well! I remember in the Church Social Hall people bringing in KK and thinking, "you know what, church isn't so bad!" (Of course, I loved church. You know what I mean. As a 6 year old, you miss a bunch of the message, but the doughnuts got be coming back until I appreciated church.)

Bottom line, as long as Cinnabon is still rocking, mall food courts will be good with me. I can stop at Great Steak and Potato, but I really feel bad for those Middle School kids who "love" Sbarro and are forced to eat it on early release days when their parents drop them off to use the mall as babysitters. Sbarro needed more early release days, but alas....
