The Story
Charles "Chuck" Entertainment Cheese began life an orphan of St Marinara's orphanage. The only two points of interest from Charle's childhood are that he loved birthdays (even though he never had one of his own), and that he was a proficient Pong player? Apparently, he won $50 from a Pong tournament, and used the money to move to New York City to start his life of hood rat business. He moves into a space above Pasqually's pizza where he is welcomed into open arms. Just kidding, Pasqually being the human equivalent of a rat, threatened to murder Charles with a rolling pin. Wanting his final thoughts to be of happier times, Charles sang Happy Birthday to himself. Pasqually realized he could make money off this, as all capitalists worth half their salt would. And so this is how it became that Charles "Chuck" Entertainment Cheese would sign a waiver of endentured servitude, to host birthday parties for Pasqually for the rest of his days.
The Controversy
2020 - Rumors began to circulate online that Chuck E Cheese restaurants were recycling uneaten pieces of pizza to make new full pizzas. The rumors are based on the apparent misproportionate shapes and sizes of the slices. Chuck E Cheese claims the variation in slices is due to an outdated pizza cutter that's use was standard practice in all restaurants?
2023 - Chuck E Cheese restaurants decide to get rid of the animatronics, as they no longer represent the brand identity they aim for. Many speculate this is to distance themselves from the Five Nights at Freddie's Franchise, popular in gaming, literature, cinema, legos, and Markiplier YouTube Videos. Also shoutout to MatPat. In an unofficial quote, that I am making up on the spot Chuck E Cheese officials said "We can't be sure these animatronics aren't haunted with the souls of the kids who have died in our restaurants, so we figure we can't go wrong by dismantling them and hiding them away somewhere."
The Experience:
$30 for only slightly better than Tony's frozen pizza. $30 spent on tokens to play games for 30 minutes, earning tickets for which you will be handsomely rewarded with a pencil topper and 1 gum ball.
Did anyone else ever want to take the plastic cup that you hold tokens in home, or was that just me? My mom wouldn't let me, but they certainly would not have missed it, and I should like to have it now, 20 years later.
