I'm thinking things like "Same-sung" For Samsung, because all their products look kinda generic and boring, or Ford standing for "Fix Or Repair Daily" because of the engineering and build quality, or "McDiabetes", for obvious reasons.

Iirc, Maverick is/was its own chain. Maybe they got acquired. The name change seems like a good move.

Also, not to hail corporate too much, but the Maverick burritos are legitimately the best value meal for food to go in my area. About $7 for a big burrito that doesnt make me feel like shit, and that I can walk in the door and grab from under the heat lamp myself.

Honestly I hate to sound like an ad but I love mavericks. A: like you said, the burritos kick ass, no fast food breakfast even comes close, but B: they have the best implemented self-checkout of any place I've ever been to. No interruptions for special offers (but tbf the same can't be said for their pumps), they seem to take every kind of card and tap, it's not laggy and slow, no companion app necessary. It's just scan burrito, scan drink, scan card, bolt. If I know what I want I can be in and out in like a minute.

Second button down on either side of the screen mutes the ads. I keep a sharpie in my car and write it on the button.

Wawa and royal farms blow maverick out of the water. Royal farms breakfast sandwiches are so good.
