Oddly enough it was whoppers from Burger King! I think it was Tuesdays they would have $1 whoppers so we'd have those.

Pretty much every other day was pasta of some sort. I've grown to be probably the only person of Italian descent that avoids pasta because of it lol

Same thing, but KFC! In Canada they used to have Toonie Tuesdays, you could get 2 pieces of chicken and fries for $2.

Now for the weird part. My dad was kinda obsessed with KFC chicken. He had a colonel sanders shaped piggy bank, specifically for collecting $2 coins, for the singular purpose of buying fried chicken on Tuesdays.
