Pizza Hut
First opened in 1958, Wichita, KS. 60 years of age.
Frank and Dan Carney opened up the first ever Pizza Hut with only 600 dollars. The name comes from the fact that the sign they had could only feature 9 letters maximum. They wanted the word Pizza in it, and eventually they decided that Pizza Hut would work. Originally, they sold a 13 inch pizza and a 10 inch pizza. The thicker “Pan Pizza” was introduced in 1980, and today they sell everything from pizza to wings to pasta!

Opened in 1940, San Bernadino, CA. 78 years of age.

Their success slowly but surely started to take place, and now, McDonald’s is one of, if not the most famous fast food place on earth.

KFC
Opened in 1930, Corbin, KY. 88 years of age.
The famous fried chicken of Harland Sanders was first sold at the front of a Gas Station in Kentucky. It wasn’t long before there was a huge demand for his chicken.

To this day, his chicken is cooked under pressure.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
