When did naming things have to reflect reality? ie it's "Burger King" and not "Bearable Burger"

It was a pretty good burger until 2013 when they changed the machine they used to cook the burgers. Now it's worse than McD's and that's saying something.

		Wait that explains so much! Do you know more about the change? I've been weirded out by the fact that their jr burger buns are now super shiny as if they are spraying something on them. I know this is processed food, but no burger bun should be able to reflect sunlight the way their burgers now do...

		Yeah it used to really taste flame grilled. It's pretty low rent nowadays - to the point where I wouldn't go there even if desperate.

Something interesting I found while looking up Hungry Jacks (the Burger King franchise here in Australia) is that the angry Whopper is a normal menu item here but it seems to be only a seasonal/special item for Burker King.

My fiancee used to work at a place called "Decent Pizza". Their motto "Not the best but not the worst."

		Apparently PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) was originally named after a fictional grocery store called Ralph's Pretty Good Grocery.

I lived in Quito Ecuador back in the late 70s/ early 80s. There was a hamburger place called "Burger Queen"--the name was in English, presumably to attract people who knew about Burger King. They had a sign that read "Casa del Whooper" (not Whopper).

That's pretty funny, in the old movie Coming to America there was a scene parodying something similar but it was McDowells vs McDonalds.

We had a Burger Queen in town when I was growing up. They closed in I think the early to mid 80s and became a Hardees.

I'm gonna be 90 and Burger King/Dairy Queen puns are still going to make me laugh.
