Just a few days ago I was watching Antiques Roadshow and learned that the Michelin man apparently has a name: Bibendum.

Can’t imagine why everyone just says “Michelin man”, lol.

Wow how did they come up with that

🍻

The slogan Nunc est bibendum ("Now is the time to drink") is taken from Horace's Odes (book I, ode xxxvii, line 1).

Imagine if Michelin started restaurants had to put that on the door to welcome the clients.

You might enjoy this fact: in Japan nearly every KFC has a weird statue of Colonel Sanders outside it.

Not as funny as the idea of this bulbous boy outside fine dining establishments, but you're walking through a pedestrian shopping area and all of the sudden see Colonel Sanders holding a giant prawn, both of them wearing Santa hats.

Ask him if he knows anywhere good to eat.

[–] variants@possumpat.io 1 points 2 months ago

I wonder if they also rate gas stations
