A twist is provided by this "BurgerKing" look-alike. Apparently in the 1950s an Australian fellow wanted to open a Burger King franchise but BK didn't do franchises. The guy asked if he could use the burger logo without the name and BK said sure, just don't use the name. The Hungry Jack chain became wildly successful in Australia.
At the time of the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Burger King decided it did not want Hungry Jack to be using the logo but lost the court case, and Hungry Jack continues to thrive as is. So there.
Brian thinks Pie Face, the brainchild of an Australian, will be the next international sensation. Haven't tried the tiny pies yet (sweet and savory choices, that could easily be a fast lunch) but plan to. Keep your eyes open in the USA!
Thanks for such great tutorials on Australia, girlies! Fascinating facts and great pictures ~ much appreciated. Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy and Sister-in-law!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the writing and photos! Great fun to follow along. Reminds me of when my sister lived there for about a year. The people "over there" are exceptionally friendly as my sister still has friends with whom she keeps in touch more than 18 years later! Savoring your fun. My best
