The Big M has had fast food franchising (burgers) to themselves in Australia.
So the Big Mac is the Big Mac.
Only recently have Burger King started expansion. But I believe someone local
had rights to the franchise name 'Burger King'. When Burger King started up
operations they had to call the stores 'Hungry Jacks'. So there are two names
for the same style of takeaway store.
You might be thinking of the Pulp Fiction conversation.
