    You know, this is the first time I’ve witnessed a country refer to something we call [country] [thing] as just [thing]

      A sausage and egg McMuffin does not look like a muffin. It actually does look like an English muffin because that’s what it is.

        Oh course the McMuffin is served on a muffin. But when I just hear “muffin” by itself I don’t think of the sandwich including sausage and egg and cheese and whatnot. You have to actually say “McMuffin” to conjure that image. Otherwise I just think of a plain English muffin.

        It would be like if they said they were banning advertisements for buns. While a hamburger is typically served on a bun, just saying bun alone doesn’t really include the entire sandwich. I could serve a hamburger in a lettuce wrap, or on sliced sourdough or something other than a bun. If McDonald’s served their sausage and egg on a lettuce wrap, would that circumvent this ad ban?

          Reading this comment thread has made Muffin lose all meaning. Isn’t it such a funny word when you think about it
