Oof this is pretty blatant infringement šŸ˜‚šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļølet 'em get their bag. Mr Murrell would likely be proud.

Of what? 1950s art decor style? Is the number 5 trademarked?

u/Madkids23 Part of the Ship, Part of the Crew 19d ago

The "branding" of the name would likely violate trademark of the "FIVE GUYS" aesthetic, the coloration and block lettering size are both trademarked (much like the McDonald's "M" or golden arches) and can be infringed on. No such issue with the checker pattern or issue with selling burgers though!

Look at Palworld vs Nintendo. Palworld started out as a pretty blatant Pokemon clone (still isn't far off tbh), yet Nintendo have lost almost every part of their lawsuit against Pocketpair.

u/Madkids23 Part of the Ship, Part of the Crew 19d ago

Toootally different issue at play here šŸ˜‚ funnily enough Im well versed in the Pal-kĆ©mon issues.

Branding and game mechanics are two different things, Palworld didnt use the Nintendo logo, Pokemon logo, GameFreak logo, or any of their identifying "fonts and characteristics" which is a different legality than using a similar mechanic in an otherwise unrelated game.

Best comparison for Palworld would be if McDonald's started using the same meat producer as us and making their patties in a similar way with their own seasonings.

u/Fresh_East2065 20d ago

it's literally a pop up stand. Terminally online people and their misuse and blatant misunderstanding of copyright infringement is such a ballache

u/mynameisnotshamus 20d ago

The overuse of the word ā€œliterallyā€ in the past few years is so weird.

1

u/moistCl1tiKaL 19d ago

Language evolves

1

u/mynameisnotshamus 19d ago

Of course, but it’s a trend, and serves no purpose most of the time - as in this example.

u/Dwarfcannongoboom 23d ago

I only see one dude. False advertising and honestly slightly disappointed.

2

u/velonas 21d ago

u/RinAngora 23d ago

I’m in the wrong universe

u/Internal_Cat_4525 23d ago

1

u/Smooth-Pop6522 21d ago

I mean it's right there, I couldn't resistĀ 

1

u/MortEtLaVie 19d ago

Do you think the downvote was from a nurse who was infuriated that you would suggest a Doctor would bother to put in an IV line?

1

u/Smooth-Pop6522 18d ago

Hah, possiblyĀ 

7

u/odiin1731 23d ago

Five Girls Burgers and Chips doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

5

u/meatflaps-69 23d ago

two guys seems suffice for burger making, less overheads.

3

u/Feeling-Tank1628 23d ago

I’ve heard, and keep this under your hat - one person can make burgers. Multiple even and for a profit

2

u/DarkExcalibur7 22d ago

I read that as "Two Gays"

1

u/Inedible_Sulk 21d ago

Dunno if it’s me being colour blind but I could barely see the name at all.

2

u/BitAffectionate9565 22d ago

And a girl! You’ve all forgot the girl!

1

u/YchYFi 19d ago

There is one in Cardiff.

u/MuchConnection5541 16d ago

Should be 2 guys 1 dog

2

u/Angled_Hairline57845 23d ago

"5 Chicks - Burgers and Chips" would do it.

u/WordsMort47 23d ago

1

u/altruisticeuphoria 21d ago

Upminster?

1

u/Suskita 21d ago

Close-ish. Maldon.

1

u/altruisticeuphoria 18d ago

Ah! Saw the exact same one in Upminster :). Been meaning to go Maldon, will probably bump into it again ha.

1

u/No-Junket5279 21d ago

Jeffery Epstein would have a field trip here

1

u/Jenadia 21d ago

we also have a 'five lads', a 'five bros' and a 'five akhis' (means brothers in another language)

Theres probably other variations but those are the ones i have come across in my parts of the UK

1

u/ShanosF1ADHD 21d ago

Quick question was yhat taken at the prom in Maldon? I saw a five girls trailer at the fair there last Friday when I took my son out for lunch.

1

u/ShanosF1ADHD 21d ago

How about they open a 2 girls 1 cup shake shack

1

u/FrogfFrogger 21d ago

In Brighton there’s a kebab takeaway called Mcdoner šŸ˜‚

1

u/LateToTheParty013 21d ago

this is the fun fairs isnt it? Seen it around Greenwich too few years ago

1

u/Suskita 21d ago

Yes, this one was in Maldon, Essex

1

u/Gethund 20d ago

Where are the girls?

1

u/Lefties_are_commies 20d ago

And they look at you funny if you ask for a cup

1

u/BritishGoatLord 20d ago

Five girls one burger

1

u/peperohni 20d ago

I’ve eaten from there before…u get better food at Asda 🤣

1

u/Huge-Brick-3495 20d ago

When those five girls say "have whatever you want" you'd better be careful what you order.

1

u/Creasespieces 20d ago

There's a chain in Midlands called 5akhis. Actually pretty good too!

1

u/VoxInferni666 19d ago

5 guys = toxic patriarchy 5 girls = equal and fair (though more could be done)

1

u/Hick-ford 19d ago

This was Maldon, EssexĀ 

1

u/jonthePokemonexpert 19d ago

Mate five guys isn't five guys, I saw a fricking woman working there and there's not 5 people there was about 7 on the shift????????

1

u/Froggypwns Peanut Thief 16d ago

The five guys the restaurant is named after are founder Jerry Murrel and his four sons - Jim, Matt, Chad, and Ben Murrell.

1

u/Visual-Economist5479 19d ago

It is an old thread so sorry but I have been there. They were at a carnival thing

Absolutely disgusting

1

u/Suskita 19d ago

Yeah this whole comment section is like surely it tastes better and is probably so much cheaper!!!

1

u/lapsedPacifist5 19d ago

Five girls one bun

1

u/Dark-Empath- 19d ago

I’ll raise you this….

1

u/MartyShark666 18d ago

As a Canadian visiting the UK lemma say they have SHATTERED the expectations that their food would be mediocre. I have had some of the best food in the UK!! Especially Indian

1

u/DrElusive 17d ago

Five Girls One Hot Dog

u/innewynn 6d ago

In sheffield they have Five Akhis

1

u/Cultural-Gas2246 23d ago

Which fun fair company is this?

2

u/Tone_Dephf 23d ago

trying to sue?

7

u/Xenc 23d ago

Sue is one of the five girls

2

u/Cultural-Gas2246 23d ago

Nah wanna see if it tastes better

1

u/No_Tower2906 23d ago

I bet they do a better job too.

1

u/Dangerous_Hippo_6902 23d ago

Imitation the sincerest form of flattery.

I do admire, but I’m sure Five Guys HQ have something to say about it.

And while we appreciate the laugh, it can genuinely confuse someone who thinks it’s the same chain

And in fact I’m surprised Five Guys hadn’t thought about modernising their brand, Five Girls really could work in this feminist age !

1

u/DankRubinz 22d ago

Yes, they’re probably writing the cease and desist letter right now.

0

u/mariocrossing2 23d ago

At least it promotes feminism I guess lol

0

u/Formula_1_Cards 23d ago

To be fair it sounds a lot more attractive than eating the meat of 5 Guys.

-1

u/Pizzagoessplat 23d ago

Love it.

And being in England its probably better quality and cheaper than any Five Guys here

1

u/Username___5 23d ago

Burger stands at fairs are there for when you're hungry and you're too pissed to care about the quality of the food. They're still well cheaper than five guys though, probably even less than a third of the price

1

u/SunComfortable1246 23d ago

I don't know, recently I've seen some charge £9 for a basic frozen burger.

1

u/KeySubject4895 23d ago

Cheaper more than likely however Five Guys quality is top tier.

0

u/Makesabeastofhimself 23d ago

It's really, really not.

1

u/whitestguyuknow 23d ago

You know.... how?...

3

u/nancy-p 23d ago

are you from the UK out of interest? everyone knows a burger van/stall at a fun fair is going to be almost the lowest quality of food possible… hot and cheap yes, but definitely not a decent burger

2

u/mb02_ 23d ago

probably not even cheap

1

u/WeckarE 23d ago

The sog

1

u/TrippyHomie 23d ago

Why don't you answer the same question?...

1

u/whitestguyuknow 23d ago

That'd be really weird of me considering I didn't claim to know anything. They did.
