    You’re Australian I’m guessing? It’s because the Burger King Oceania franchise license was bought by Aussie billionaire Jack Cowin, and the Burger King name was trademarked by Adelaide, so they renamed the company after Jack.

    Basically, Burger King was already taken.

      Yeah, I never really thought why it was called that over here, I just assumed it was just called that in some countries, I was yesterday years old when I found out it was only Australia.
