Livebloggin' Krystal

I had an early breakfast meeting today. At Krystal (how ugly is that site?). Now I'm hitting their free wi-fi. This juxtaposition of apparently disparate technologies and people-types is weirding me out. I wonder if I'm the only person ever to pop out a powerbook in Krystal on Broad at 8 a.m.

Krystal: we'll clog your arteries and open up your network connectivity at the same time!

what do you expect from the web site? it looks like all of their advertising stuff.

and i heard some great names for the krystal on npr a few years ago.

1. sliders (i think most have heard this one)
2. rectum rockets

hahaha

They use to have such a nice site, I wonder what happened?

Posted by: Mike at July 13, 2005 09:32 AM

well, at least they still have the original munch'em game created by someone near and dear to my heart

well, since you asked...
they had a nice site for only a little while (an awesome design by Ben). their old, old site was ugly, but it was old, so it's somewhat forgiveable, except for the fact that they didnt redesign it for forever. so Ben did up a new one, and it was quite cool. but then some stuff changed at the head office, and for whatever reason they wanted to change it again. and now you see the results. to see for yourself, go check out the 2004 stuff on the waybackmachine at archive.org

in closing, Ben rocks, and scrapping his stuff is ill-advised.

I love how their site has the Krystal counter, like we really need to know how many Krystals our human race is consuming. Having said that, I'll confess to (every five or six months) enjoying the steamy goodness of a Krystal burger, even though I know that within 30 minutes I'll be in agony.

My only vivid memory of Andres Arroyo (raise your hand if anyone remembers him) is of him telling me how sick he got after eating at the Krystal on Broad, and how all I could think was "well, did you really expect another outcome?"

*raises hand*

I remember quite a few trips down the mountain (late at night) with Andres, and a couple others.

Ear Candy:

My dad calls Krystals gutbombs
My friends call Krystals alcohol absorbers


I really like rectum rockets though... very descriptive.

stella,
the sweet, sweet gutbomb. there is no more need for description. i think the grossness can't go much further.
