The Riksha Inn of Orlando, Florida was a bullshit company founded by a guy in Minnesota who made a bunch of money after World War II in the beansprouts business.
He re-invested in himself and maybe that's why he even exists today.
The guy dreamed of building a worldwide chain of chinese drive-in restaurants and then he spent millions of dollars on infomercials to set the chain of events in motion
His name was Jeno F. Paulucci and he hired a a Hollywood, California public relations company to produce his nationwide campaign spots for his umbrella corporation called the Chung King Sales Inc. of Duluth.
Broadcasting is full of bullshit advertising, but if youre lucky, it's entertaining and you catch a laugh
As for the stupidity of the Hong Kong Burger, dumb as fuck, but who gives a shit, maybe it was worth a try. Capitalism beats communism every day of the week, even when it's selling shit nobody gives a fuck about, at the time.
As for the Chun King Chow Mein Hour starring Stan Freberg, the motherfucker bought his way onto a one hour special on national tv, selling authentic chinese as an american invention, then failed at cheeseburgers. now that is funny
