TropicalDingdongIf you are above a certain age, you can smell this photo.
It smells like Dennys used to smell.
Back to a world where everything smelled like cigarette ash. While its nostalgic, I don’t miss it. Its crazy how much people used to smoke.
TheGoldenVYeah and if you miss it you could always pop into a casino. At the doors I was like, “oh wow. That’s interesting.” Then I hit the interior, “ugh, god. It’s everywhere.” Yuck
Smells like Reno.

Track_ShovelOr any other restaurant where you had a smoking and non smoking section
I just don’t think the younger generations can understand how saturated diners and bars were with cigarette smoke.
Some may be wondering how in the hell this worked. Well, it didn’t. As someone who waited tables during those times, this really only mattered for seating and where you could light up. In reality, every section was the smoking section, including the kitchen.
There’s a special level of hell where your hair and clothes smell permanently of old cigarette smoke and fry grease, and it never washes out.
Parent’s car.
So Dennys used to smell better?
