The actual reason is that there was an unrelated already a takeaway chain in Australia who owned the name, so they opened the first restaurant under a different name they owned and never bothered to change it later.

I love this because I internalized it as a kid to be the way a prissy old lady says "bullshit" (which is probably the joke anyway), so I adopted it myself as a verbal and written tic when I wanted to be needlessly odd. This isn't vindication but it's close enough for me

Data Graham posted:I don't know if it's worse or better that people think Frank Nelson, aka the "Yeeeeees? Guy", is a Simpsons invention My first experience with him was I think his last voice role, in a Garfield special. He played both a hotel clerk and a car salesman, and made a joke about Jack Benny being miserly. It wasn't until years later I learned that appearance pretty much encapsulated his career.

"When Burger King moved to expand its operations into Australia, it found that its business name was already trademarked by a takeaway food shop in Adelaide, South Australia." drat, beaten

A lot of them are based on radio shows. I sometimes listen to them on XM on my commute. I don't know how many times I went Ohh, that's where they got it. Voices, catchphrases, even whole characters pretty much lifted right from radio. Of course there were only a few networks, so most people would get the references.

Why can you not do the call while pooping? That's what background effects and the mute button are for.

Coz heaven forfend that international tourists get confused by a restaurant with a different name. I also have a vague memory of the outlet in the domestic section being Hungry Jack's and the one in the international side of the airport being Burger KIng. But I don't know how accurate my memory is on that point.
