They were ahead of their time in pioneering the low-carb diet, though. I remember as a kid laughing at their "slimmer's option" - two burgers with cottage cheese on top and no bun. "Yeah, like the bun is the most fattening part of a hamburger", I thought. Now, everybody's at it.

Bugger. I've got it in mind now too. They were the only burger chain in S.A. for years.
