    I had no idea. That’s cool

    They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

      I had always been mildly curious about the name. Now I know.

          More surprises that I would have guessed.

            Indeed. What's Mixue? The meteoric rise of Subway, Starbucks.

              Subway, in particular, was interesting to me. I wonder if their success has much to do with the simplicity in terms of food prep and kitchens? No grills, no deep fryers and the infrastructure that goes along with that. Just refrigerators, a couple of toaster ovens and standard kitchen prep stuff… Lower retail space needed, lower equipment costs and maintenance, lower training, it really is simple.

                Yes. A Subway franchise was within pretty easy reach.
