And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
McDonald's sued and WON a suit in Scotland a few years ago and forced a man to quite using that name on his little back street restaurant EVEN THOUGH IT WAS HIS NAME! I'm glad the %&*)$#@ lost this suit!
I was in Supermac's many years ago. Their food tasted like cardboard after being stored in a salt mine for a century. They're less than lousy. I'm not a fast food fan and rarely go to one, except my local Chick-fi-a where I know I won't be groped by a member of my own gender.
In Australia, the Burger King brand is called Hungry Jack's; in W.Aust they're probably the best of the fast food outlets, but McD's has better coffee. When I returned to SoCal I tried BK three different times; first try was bad, but it got worse from there & I gave up on them.
Where I am, the best is Carl's Jr. or In-N-Out Burger; I still miss Bob's Big Boy, they were unsurpassable when I was growing up, back when McD's had signs saying they sold 1 million burgers! But that was long ago, in a country that doesn't exist anymore, sigh.
I've tried In-N-Out twice & was not impressed. I'm a fan of Whataburger but that's in Texas, I should be down there next month!. I like 5 Guys fries... Back in the early 70's I used to go to Nation's Giant Hamburger in Davis Calif, that was a burger!
Not sure who to cheer here. Well, "cheer" is the wrong word. More a case of whom to hate less: McDonald's pushing Supermac around, or the EU Intellectual Property Office ruling that there is no proof that McDonald's actually sells Big Macs in its jurisdiction and thus does not have trademark protection. EUIPO is playing dumb, or profoundly autistic, and abusing its bureaucratic power, and McDonald's are being asshats abusing their financial power.
Why can't they both lose? Personally I learned a few years ago that McDonald's is really "365black.com" (seriously; you could look it up). Well! That (say the magic words along with me, kids), made me feel unwelcome and marginalized so I stopped going there. And Burger King are no prize either; plus their food-like products taste worse than McDonald's food-like products.
I'd much rather buy my burger from a King, not a clown.

ReplyDeleteBut I can still get a Royale with Cheese, right?

ug, soy & GMO corn filled crap, all of it-I avoid that shit like someone coughing in a grocery aisle.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Carl's has a grass finished burger that kicks out the jams. Still it's only been once.
