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.

  • 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…

    酒大好きＮＴ準州のBigな小型ビール瓶

    　ノーザン・テリトリー準州の北部にある人口１１人の村ラリマーでは、同州の象徴ひとつであるDarwin Stubbyを称えるBig Stubbyがある。 　この「Big Things」はキッチュも皮肉たっぷりなものだ。 　そもそもstubbyは約３３０ミリリートル～３７０ミリリートルの間が入る小型のビール瓶を示す言葉だ。しかし、ビールを暴飲すると言われているオージーの中では特に年中熱い最北部のダーウィン市辺りの飲酒量が多いとされて、半分冗談で１９５０年代で約６倍の量が入る２．２５リートル入り大型瓶を作れ、ダーウィン・スタッビーと名づけた。元々普通に販売し飲まれたが今ではノーザン・テリトリー準州の最も有名なお土産となり、年間約２万５千本を販売すると言う。 　ラリマーのBig Stubbyはオーストラリア中心部の環状線であるスチュアート・ハイウェイを面するホテル前にあり、隣に理由不明なピンク・パンサー像もある。 豪キャブラリー： Stubby ビール・グラス名称だけで嫌になちゃうオージー英語 大きな地図で見る

    Mall Marsupial Puts Kangaroo In The Bag

    Kangaroo-do K.K. has bagged itself a position as a position as a mall retailer mainly in regional areas, but also in some shopping centers. It shouldn’t really come as a surprise because Kangaroo-do’s business is bags, which it sells from low price offerings to quality accessories from brands such as Porter and Dakota. Kangaroo-do hasn’t offered a public statement about why it chose to use a marsupial for its company name and logo, but it’s pretty obvious considering the link between its business items and pouches. Kangaroo-do is a retail chain that also sells wallets, travel luggage and small leather goods. It operates mall and specialty-shop outlets across Japan and…

    Why Does Australia’s National Food Cost Less In Japan Than It Does At Home?　豪産でも誤算じゃないの？豪国民食は日本で買った方が安いのはおかしくない？

    Meat pies, Australia’s national dish, are cheaper in Japan (even though they’re made in Bairnsdale) than they are in Australia.　オーストラリアの国民食であるミートパイが豪産にも関わらず日本で買っても安い。 Tim Tams, too, up with Aussie Beef as a symbolic food from Down Under, sell in Tokyo for a fraction of the price that Aussie consumers pay for the bikkies.　お馴染みのオージービーフと並べてオーストラリアの代表的な食品であるティムタムも日本で買った方が安い。 I haven’t looked up the price of Australian beef, but I’d reckon there’s a good chance Japanese consumers have a world away are getting it cheaper than their Australian counterparts.　オージービーフの値段を調べていないが、上記の傾向によって恐らく原産国が地球の半分ぐらい離れている日本の消費者がまたオーストラリアの消費者ほど払わないで食べられているかと推測しています。 This is happening because there is a duopoly controlling Australian supermarkets, according to The Australia Institute, a public policy think tank. The Institute argues that Coles and Woolworths (Colesworth!), the…
