Eat n park
Blindingly obvious advertising. Quote from the article: "If you mention this wikipedia article, Chelsey or Marge might give you a free cookie or two." Sounds like they're desperate for customers. Delete. &mdash; J I P | Talk 13:52, 9 November 2005 (UTC) *Weak Delete I grew up in Western PA and have eaten at these franchises many times (usually late night). They are well-known in western Pennsylvania and nearby areas, but not probably not elsewhere (see: []). While it's strictly regional, it could have 1 million customers (a WP company criteria) depending how customers are measured for restuarant chains. DEFINITELY delete the reference to the Etna franchise. Nothing against Etna, but ads have no place on Wikipedia. Jasmol 20:37, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The raison d'être of this article is advertising. A rewrite, including some of these significant factoids (which I have not tried to, as yet, verify), might still continue it as an advertisement. Still, any article here about a franchise is an advertisement in itself. Nevertheless, it was created as an advertisement, and Wikipedia ain't a spambox. So Delete. -LichYoshi 15:00, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
