Adi Chaham week 8: Drive-throughs


Today, as I was sitting in my car in the Starbucks drive through waiting for my vanilla bean frappuccino, I thought to myself, I love drive throughs.

Drive throughs are such a great invention. Not only can you stay in your car and don’t have to interact with anyone, you can even go in pajamas because no one sees you. Drive throughs are also super quick and easy and you don’t have to wait in line for a long time waiting for your food. Drive throughs are also super efficient. You just order your food really quickly and by the time you get to the window, you pay, and get your food.

So, if drive throughs are so good and efficient, why aren’t there any pizza drive throughs? Or pasta? Or even ice cream, or yogurt? 

Personally, I would go to all these. 

Imagine being able to get your favorite pizza without leaving the car or being able to go through a carvel or menchies drive-through. I would love that! 

Nowadays, places with drive throughs are super successful. For example, the McDonalds, Chick Fil-A, and Starbucks lines are all so long and therefore, are more successful. So if places make more money and are so successful having drive throughs, why not make other drive throughs?  

Now of course, just like everything in life, there are downsides to drive-throughs. The lines could be super long which could be super annoying. On Friday, I went to starbucks at around 3:00pm and waited over 30 minutes for a hot chocolate because the line was so long. So if Starbucks drive-throughs take a long time, imagine how long pizza or pasta drive-throughs would take. Personally, no matter how long, I would still go. 

What are your thoughts on drive throughs? Do you think they should have pasta, pizza, or ice cream drive throughs? What's your favorite drive-through place? What drive throughs do you think they should have?

    I love drive-thrus. They are super convenient when you're either in a hurry or are just really hungry. Personally, I think that if there were drive-thrus for non-fast food, then most restaurants would go out of business which would lead to society being more lazy. Although, I do think that frozen yogurt drive-thrus would be sick.

    I love drive-thrus, but I hate the long lines. I can sometimes be impatient, and when I'm waiting for a drink or food, my patience is even lower. The downside to having fancier drive-thrus, like pizzas and pastas, are because those foods are messier and take a lot more time to prepare. It's significantly harder to eat pasta in the car compared to French fries. My favorite drive-thru is Starbucks, but when it's not really crowded.

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
