Can you believe it? Really, Really Bad Rebus #8. I’m amazed it’s gotten this far. And no, that’s not a Big Kahuna burger at the bottom.

HERE is the solution.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I love this one!!!
THanks Samuel L. Jackson!

I have never heard of a McDonald’s “Royale”. Could be a regional thing but I’ve never seen that sandwich in NE Ohio.

The “Royale” is the non-US version of the QP with cheese. Other countries use the metric system and therefore do not have a “quarter pounder” on their menu.

Awesome! I love it!
KJ, the key to knowing “Royale” is Pulp Fiction. If you haven’t seen that movie you probably would have never come up with the answer.

I got one! God bless Pulp Fiction.

Good one! I loved the little French flag on the Quarter P– err, Royale with cheese!

The “Royale with cheese” official french name is “Royal Cheese”. We also have a “Royal Deluxe” and a “Royal Bacon”. I’m sure you’re glad to know. ;-)

Big Kahuna Burger has the best burgers. Everybody knows that.

Darn! I would have gotten this one right if I knew what Brian Eno looked like! I saw the little French flag and knew it was a Royale with cheese!

What do they call a Whopper?
I don’t know. I didn’t go to Burger King.

Got it! Yup… definitely because of Pulp Fiction.
