In 1984, John Schnatter began selling pizzas at Mick's Lounge, his father's tavern in Jeffersonville, Indiana. He opened his first Papa John's restaurant in March 1985. The company was incorporated in January 1986 and now has around 6,000 locations worldwide. Based on sales, Papa John's is the fourth-largest pizza chain behind Domino's, Pizza Hut and Little Caesars. Shares of Papa John's closed today at 30.91, a drop of 2.92 (8.63%).

When they first started gettin big, in the early 90’s, I was in college and I thought that it was good for chain pizza. I haven’t had it in 15 years or more though. I just remember thinking that they had slipped quite a bit back then.
I saw on one of those You Tube Snoopy Jazz videos that today was Women's Day so I took my Sweetie to Culvers and paid 
New video on discontinued items at Culver's. It took some time to get my Sweetie to go back to Culver's after they dropped Pepsi for Coke
I swear that for every GLP-1 weight-loss plan that hits the market, the fast food industry doubles-down on gluttony. Pizzas with stuffed crusts aren't enough; now at Domino's you can submerge each slice in "slice sauce". Just in case the pizza alone lacks sufficient flavor.
I was actually tipped-off to this by the Howard Stern forum

McDonald’s Is Quietly Ditching Its Self-Serve Soda Fountains
Will your McDonald’s Sprite still taste as *crispy* if you don’t dispense it yourself?

When I worked maintenance and security at a mall, the movie theater gave us all the free soda we wanted all day and night if we just brought our own cup. They said the bulk of the cost was the cup. MickeyDeez is getting super cheap.
When my kids were young, they'd dare each other to make a drink with every flavor mixed into one cup.
When I was a kid, this was called a "suicide". Absolutely no idea why. I always survived.
This is from Professor Google:
"'Suicide' refers to a drink made by mixing a small amount of every available soda flavor from a fountain into a single cup. While there is no single 'official' origin story, the name is primarily a piece of American childhood and teen slang that emerged between the 1950s and 1970s. The name likely stems from the idea that mixing so many clashing flavors is a risky endeavor that could 'kill' you. It was often treated as a dare or a test of one's stomach.
Depending on the region, the same drink is known by other grim names that imply a similar 'deadly' or 'unpleasant' nature. 'Graveyard' is common in the Pacific Northwest and parts of the East Coast. 'Swamp water,' referring to the murky brownish-green color resulting from the mix, is popular in the Midwest and Canada, Other names include 'sewage,' 'pop bomb' and 'tornado.'"
