I imagine a McD management meeting:

- let's drop some bbq sauce on a burger.
- ok, we can sell that as a 'bbq beef burger'.
- no, bbq beef has nothing to do with a beef patty and we
certainly don't want to spend the money to make real bbq beef.
- ok, we'll call it 'oriental bbq beef burger' because orientals
don't know about bbq either and that'll deflect any criticism.
- you're a genius.
