Accepting nominations for the McDowell's award

[JVS]

The McDowell's award is a prize given to businesses that stive to the utmost to try to swipe some of the aura of a succesful national chain without having to actually fork up the dough to own a franchise. Similar to the way that Cleo McDowell in "Coming to America" operated a restaurant that was a McDonald's clone. I have seen examples of such things in real life.

Dairy Dutchess instead of Dairy Queen along US rt 22 in Ohio
Harty's instead of Hardee's along rt 22 in Western PA.

Anyone else have some nominations? I hope to do a poll later to determine the best one

2. I'm trying to think

All I can say is that I think Cleo McDowell is a fine man, and he has two beautiful daughters. And I DO like those little frozen pigs in the thingy.

But I love his little dog even more.
