Fast food is loved by people around the globe, no doubt about that. However, there is a certain age group that especially is crazy about it- teenagers. Looking at the capital of Pakistan, we see that fast food delivery in Islamabad is more popular than any other kind of food. It also has been found that teenagers spend the most part of their pocket money on going to fast food eateries with their friends or ordering fast food at home.
Since a young age, children gravitate towards fries, chocolates and other junk food. Without proper parental supervision, they never grow of their habit and by the time they are 12-13, it’s nearly impossible to tell them no. So, while getting used to eating fast food is one reason why teenagers love it, there are several other reasons, some of which have been enlisted below:
Sense of belonging
You might have noticed that fast food joints are usually filled with youngsters. This is one of the reasons why they like to go there, in fact. They find a sense of belonging. For them, it’s a place where they can be themselves completely because no member of the older generation will judge them there. It’s their sanctuary from judgemental eyes! Often people have two faces- one that is reserved for family and one for friends. The latter comes out at fast-food restaurants!
Quickly prepared food
Compared to desi food as well as many international cuisines, fast food is cooked relatively fast. Teenagers are full of energy and like to do more than just sit, eat and talk. They have dozens of activities planned and often don’t even find food an important part of their day! And so, they prefer to have food that “wastes” their minimal time! Ordering food online saves even more time for them so altogether, they like to order fast food to their doorsteps!
Affordable
Teenagers aren’t the richest class of society. Most teenagers have a limited budget. Given how many fast food places are available in Pakistan, there are deals and discounts available on them often. These offers make fast food a very affordable choice of food for this age group. Statistics show that fast food eating habits of teenagers in the country are growing almost 21% yearly meaning the growth of fast food business is more than 20% annually, making it the fastest-growing business in the country!
Instagram Culture
Fast food makes your Instagram profile look good. The trend to post about ‘urban foods’ rather than traditional ones is strong in Pakistan. Teenagers think that fast food is ‘cool’ while desi food is not cool enough to be instagram-ed. While not every teenager might be of this opinion, it still is a very common one!
Custom Orders
Teenagers are very choosey people. They know what they like and want only that. Fast food meets them halfway in this regards. You can easily customize your food. For example, if you don’t like tomatoes, you can ask for no tomatoes to be added in your burger. A popular food chain, subway is known for allowing the customer to customize their food as they like, the sandwich will be prepared right in front of your eyes, according to your taste!
Conclusion:
Fast food is the food teenagers resort to when they are running low on money, when they are feeling sad and want to treat themselves, when they want a chance to hang out with their friends, when they have little time to spare for lunch, etc. So, we can say it is the popular choice of food for teenagers in any situation!
Fortunately, foodnerd has a vast range of fast-food restaurants enlisted on the portal. So, all you need to do is download the app, place the order and have your food delivered to you at your doorstep in minimal time!
