Yea i can see how that wouldn’t draw in many customers.

Would it have been better had you named it the “UpCharles?”

I’d eat there.

Besides, that name has been taken by the diner frequented by Dagwood Bumstead.

And before that, it was named after the owner, Sal. Sal Monella. It didn’t do very well with that name either.

I always liked choke and puke.

Good on ya mate, get stuck in to that which may kill you!

Actually, it was named “What’s Up Chuck?”

Then Upchuckie Cheese sued him.

I saw a diner in Arkansas named the “Squat and Gobble.”

A fine scarfin’ establishment, Eat.

Sounds like a great diet plan.

We have a business that sells peanuts. Its slogan was “Worst Peanuts In Town” and now the business is one of the best in town. It has great peanuts, too. Upchuck could’ve made it big.

“Eat here and get gas…”

I knew of a restaurant that had to change its name three times for copyright infringement of other restaurants in Portland (there are so many its hard to keep track). They finally decided on the name of a built in sign that adorned the restaurant which was an accounting firm.

Hi, I’m Lewis. Welcome to my restaurant, “Lew’s Your Lunch.”

A wise change! “Eat” sounds ever so much better as a restaurant name than “Upchuck”!
