I did not know that the snake-eating-its-tail had a specific name. Well.

What about the caduceus?
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Differences between the Canadian and American menus
The Canadian menu has some similarities to the current offerings of the American chain, but, owing to their independent management, also diverges in many respects. The only Burger Family product available by name in U.S. locations is the Papa Burger, although it differs significantly (adding lettuce, tomato, and cheese slices which are not included by default on the Canadian product). However, the American "Original Bacon Cheeseburger" appears to be almost exactly equivalent to the Teen Burger available in Canada. Notable products on the U.S. menu not available in Canada include deep-fried cheese curds, cheese fries, and soft serve-based products such as sundaes.

I remember a handwritten sign at a mall outlet A & W in Saskatoon promoting their new chicken nuggets: "Real beefy taste!" I've always wanted it to be minimum-wage slave sabotage, but it was probably minimum-wage slave illiteracy.

It seems like that word needs to be worked into the IMCT definition/self-conception.

Their definition of 'third nipple' may as well include "strangely red big toe."Dr. Medulla wrote:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernumerary_nipple
