Of all the stupid situations I have gotten into over my life, getting into an #argument over the #name of a #hamburger is quite a #contender for the top of the list.
I was in a #CarlsJr #Drivethrough and the #intercom offered a #HawaiianCombo in either #beef or #Chicken.
I said I wanted a #Hamburger and the intercom #corrected me, saying "I'm sorry we don't have hamburgers, we have #BigAnguses."
I am kidding you not.
For all my #Finnish and/or #German friends, a #BigAngus is a #Hamburger. #PERIOD.
It is #groundbeef, #processed into a #burgerpatty. Only #Angus #patties "have airs about them." They're apparently "too special" to be confused with "those other" patties of ground beef.
Except I ate the "Hawaiian Angus," and I can assure you they're NOT that special at all.
The #hamburger was #invented sometime between #119yearsago and #138yearsago.
And for most of that time almost everyone was content to call them hamburgers, but not anymore, it seems.
A #cynical person would wonder if whomever decided "a #BigAngus" was "too special" to be called a mere hamburger, did so just so they could #trademark it, or if it really was due to them being so high on their own supply they mistook their #groundbeef for heavenly mana.
