Reflection 3: Toowoomba is a strange, strange place
As I drove through Toowoomba on my way to Morven, I had to take a photo of the crappest-named fast-food restaurant I've ever seen. Introducing Super Rooster.Seriously, now.
I think this is clearly evidence that the owners of chicken-related fast-food enterprises have given up thinking of creative names for their companies. Think of:
1. Top Chook
2. Big Chook
3. Big Rooster
4. Red Rooster, and now....
5. Super Rooster
Ok, so originality obviously isn't some people's strong points!
I suppose it's lucky that they didn't call it 'Yellow Rooster'... cause that would just be weird!
But I'm also perplexed as to why this so called 'super rooster' has a white, waiter's vest on. Is it going to serve itself to customers?
Also, how does it do the buttons up on its vest?
And also, why is it wearing shoes?!?
Of course, I'm probably under-estimating the extraordinary powers of the 'Super Rooster'. I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for all of this.
However, this is all ignoring the fact that chickens, and not roosters, are actually used to make the food sold at Super Rooster. But hey, let's not let a superfulous fact such as this get in the way of such a (*ahem*) great name.
Can I have fries with that? :)

I believe the original Super Rooster was a Red Rooster franchise that refused to pay the franchise fee so was dis-franchised.
It's quite astounding what starved Uni Students will consume at 4.45am on the day that an assignment is due...
Maybe chicken franchises just didn't think "Red Chicken" or "Super Chook" had the right kind of ring to it.
Shows what they know...I think Red Chicken is the most awesome name for a shop ever!
Now, if Maccas would just re-name themselves "Super Cow"...
So now isn't the best time then to mention that I am from Toowoomba and have eaten at Super Rooster...it actually isn't that bad....when you get used to it ;)
How goes it Sep?
