You know that part of Pulp Fiction where they talk about the fact that McDonald's Quarter Pounder is called the Royale in France? Well, Burger King is not called Burger King down under. They call it Hungry Jack's!
The logo looks the same and the names of the sandwiches and whatnot are the same other than the extra stuff they have. Most notably they have the Aussie Burger. So I ask, "What is the Aussie Burger?" Of course they don't look at me sideways as you might look at someone asking what is on a Big Mac since my accent gives me away as being a foreigner. The Aussie Burger has the roll, burger, ketchup, cheese, egg and beetroot! Finally someone figured out something to do with those beets kids don't like. I mean the egg was pretty obvious as I understand that Aussies put egg on everything, but beets?
Now the same night that I discovered this was a night that I was wondering around Melbourne until my feet gave out. I didn't have my camera but there was a billboard that said "Give your love a bald pussy." I'm assuming that a bald pussy is something other than what it sounds like but I can't find the billboard again to photograph it and figure out what company it was for. I'll make an effort to do so.
