Even free would not be enough to draw me into a Denny's.
First requirement is to have something eatable.
Second is to have a minimum level of service.

It's pretty hard to screw up bacon & eggs with pancakes and sausage.
Really long lines so I just took a rain check.
When I was a wee wee lad, there was a drug store that had egg, toast,
& coffee for 29 cents.

I hadn't been to a Denny's in years or maybe a decade, then last July we
arrived into our hotel in Salt Lake City pretty late, after flying from
SFO. There was a Denny's next to the hotel, so 12 of us trooped over
there. It was surprisingly good, much better than I remembered. Real
milk shakes, good onion rings, and the sandwiches and stuff were okay.
You have to remember to never order anything that is in a plastic pouch
that they just reheat in a microwave. Order things that have to be
grilled or fried. A lot of these types of restaurants offer entrees that
are really horrible. The first and last time I ever went to Applebee's
(on a road trip) the waitress even mentioned that you couldn't have
ingredients left out of many of the entrees because they all come
pre-made and pre-packaged.

When I was a wee lad, a kid could go to the drug store and purchase
bulk chemicals from the pharmacist. With a little knowledge, a kid
could make things go boom. Nobody I knew ever got hurt from it. We
could not afford 29¢ for breakfast.

One fool in my school class blew his hand right off, quite literally.

My father was an electrical engineer with a chemistry background. He
used to make nitroglycerin and explode it as a kid. I learned some
safety measures, but still was lucky to survive to adulthood in one
piece.

Tons of salt and cholesterol, what's not to love? It's really hard to ruin
breakfast. I heard about this and then forgot about it until just now. It was
on my way, too...

When I was in college Bob's had hash browns, one egg and toast for 35 cents.
Coffee was extra.

We used to buy chemistry sets at yard sales. My baby son liked to make gunpowder...

My HS chem lab partner liked to mix random things together. Fortunately all he
created was bad-smelling smoke.
Rod Speed
Yeah, me too. I made up a heavy wooden thing with eye holes in it which
had perspex plugs in the holes and metal mesh over that, so we could
watch stuff blow up very closely. That went fine until we tried filling the
glass bottles we were blowing up with oxygen from an oxygen cylinder
we used from an adjacent building site. We had solid model jet engine
slugs in the bottles. Still got a bloody great scar on my leg from that one.
Mate of mine's mother was the chemistry teacher in the school, we borrowed
the keys to the chem lab one school holidays and damned near blew the
whole place up making stuff only half understanding what we were up to.
The fool the blew his hand right off was hammering the stuff used for loading
bullets by hand into a heavy water pipe with a solid metal rod to pack it in.
We always thought he was a terminal fuckwit even before he blew his hand right off.

I used to buy chemicals in bulk from the main supplier to schools and industrial chem labs etc.

Yeah, did plenty of that stuff, and damned near blew the school chem lab up one
holidays, my mate's mother was the chemistry teacher and we borrowed the keys.

We used to research in the state library in the textbooks used for mining engineering, and
stole stuff from the quarry that wasnt that far away from the house at the edge of town.
