IIRC, when this photo was taken, Burger King had some kind of exclusive right to operate on military bases. Dunno if they still do but contractor fuckery is one of our most important American values.
If I remember correctly, this was when Burger King opened a location in the main US Iraqi base.
They don’t have that contract anymore though, that expired in the early 2000’s. Last I heard Subway owned the contract, but they lost it to someone else a year or two ago.
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.
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.
Damn, not even McDonalds. If the US sends you a Burger King, they REALLY hate your country and are trying to kill you with food poisoning.

Am I alone when I say that Burger King is better than McDonalds?
It might depend on what country you’re in. In the US? At least where I am, both are horrific garbage, but McDonald’s is at least edible.
We call it “Hungry Jack’s” over here, because of…reasons? I just found out that we are the only country on earth to do that.

Basically, Burger King was already taken.
