    Just a few days ago I was watching Antiques Roadshow and learned that the Michelin man apparently has a name: Bibendum.

    Can’t imagine why everyone just says “Michelin man”, lol.

        The slogan Nunc est bibendum (“Now is the time to drink”) is taken from Horace’s Odes (book I, ode xxxvii, line 1).

      You might enjoy this fact: in Japan nearly every KFC has a weird statue of Colonel Sanders outside it.

      Not as funny as the idea of this bulbous boy outside fine dining establishments, but you’re walking through a pedestrian shopping area and all of the sudden see Colonel Sanders holding a giant prawn, both of them wearing Santa hats.
