Brand X: Difference between revisions

* "WcDonalds", a stand-in for the rather obvious, is a fast-food chain non-specific to any particular anime (the chain has made appearances from [[Inuyasha]] to the American-produced [[Megas XLR]]). Much like the above immediate example, anime "Brand X" brands are often created simply by switching or reversing a letter from their real-world counterparts ("Somy" and "Parasonic" have been known to pop up from time to time in various animes).

** WcDonalds' most recent appearance, as of early August 2008, is in the new [[Rumiko Takahashi]] short anime ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf953nWYSlA It's A Rumic World]'', where it appears in its rarely seen fully spelled out form.

** ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'', however, has "McDaniels" hamburgers, complete with clown mascot. Since both of these are Universal Century shows, we have to assume that McDaniels and Wonderland Burger exist in the same universe and are competitors.

** It's even made an appearance in Japanese porn, as an elaborate restaurant set with obsessively detailed uniforms for the young ladies involved to wear (or not wear, as the case may be).
