Oh, La La! Kangarou Pizzas, C’est Magnifique! … Plutôt

Kangarou Pizzas are a French fast food chain.
The chain appears to be based in Thionville, with outlets in Metz, Nancy and Varangéville.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the chain specializes in deliveries.
It’s logo is a bouncing kangaroo, or kangarou in French!
Being from the land of culinary delights, you’d expect Kangarou Pizzas to be a popular choice.
Perhaps because of its origins, customers are more demanding, but the chain gets only average reviews on Trip Advisor, with 60% rating it as either “poor” or “terrible,” though it appears disgruntled users were more miffed by poor service than lousy food.
Still, it’s nice to see kangaroos making their mark in France.

  • When Did Japan Get Its Own Math Kangaroo?

    いつから日本に「マスカンガルー」がやってきた？ Japan has plenty of unusual competitions for children, but few can be as wonderfully odd as a mathematics contest called the Kangaroo. 日本には子ども向けの変わったコンテストがたくさんありますが、「カンガルー」という名前の算数・数学大会ほど面白いものは、そう多くないでしょう。2026年、日本でも「マスカンガルー日本大会」が始まりました。そこで、考えRooらしい疑問が浮かびます。そもそも、なぜ算数・数学の大会が「カンガルー」なのでしょうか？答えをたどっていくと、オーストラリアからフランスを経て、そして日本へとつながっていきます。 In 2026, Japan got its own Math Kangaroo competition. And that raises a very Kangaeroo question. Why is a mathematics competition called a kangaroo in the first place? The answer takes us from Australia to France and, eventually, to Japan.

In 1978, Australian mathematician and educator Peter O’Halloran and his colleagues launched the Australian Mathematics Competition. The idea was rather different from the sort of mathematics test many people might associate with the…

  • My Goodness, Guinness…It’s a Kangaroo!

    For much of the 20th century, Irish brewery Guinness used kangaroos for its advertising. There was apparently no particular reason that advertiser John Gilroy selected kangaroos for a famous series of ads featuring exotic animals that the brewer used from the 1920s through to the 1960s and still common today. The kangaroos in the ads were notorious for sneaking away a pint of stout in their pouches. In addition to posters, the kangaroos featured in early TV ads, adorned coasters and were used for Carlton Ware figurines and even a salt-and-pepper shaker. The advertisements ran under such copy as “Guinness is Good For You,” “My Goodness, My Guinness” and “Ask…

    Melburnian’s Kagawa Kangaroo Business Is Bounding

    Melburnian Suliana Tesi Nakamura looks to be doing very nicely operating Kangaroo K.K., an English conversation school and real estate business located in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, where she has lived since 2011. Aussie Nakamura’s choice of the kangaroo for her company and logo is pretty bloody obvious, and a logical choice for the woman who moved to Japan in 2005 and taught English in Tokyo before moving to her current location. Nakamura worked in real estate Down Under and is using her multicultural background to leverage her multifaceted business now. The appearance of any company, organization, or individual on Kangaeroo.com does not constitute an endorsement, approval, or criticism of that…

    A Toast to Fine Electronics

    レストランの「BYO」とは？

    What Is A Restaurant BYO? Imagine walking into a restaurant carrying a bottle of wine. In many countries, you’d be stopped at the door. In Australia? You might be thanked. A restaurant marked BYO means Bring Your Own alcohol. Many smaller restaurants don’t have a liquor licence. Instead of losing customers, they invite diners to bring their own beer or wine. The restaurant usually charges a small corkage fee to provide glasses and open the bottle. It’s a particularly popular tradition at family-run Asian restaurants, where bringing your favourite bottle has become part of the dining experience. Vocabulary ExpressionBYO Pronunciation/biː waɪ əʊ/ MeaningBring Your Own (usually alcohol). Example “Don’t forget—it’s…
