I dunno but I would assume so because it's America, where if there's a cheapened and vastly inferior version of something they'll use it and rebrand the original as Plantinum Plus.
Nah he just opened a new restaurant with his wife's maiden name. This is mid 20th century America, so the idea was the cheapest mass producable product of tolerable quality as the only option from the corporation
I call that an American-driven trend - don't just open a restaurant and make a living selling some popular thing, open 10,000 restaurants selling the cheapest acceptable imitation of the original thing. Instead of blueberry muffins, sell muffins with blue colored bits of grape skins and enough actual blueberry juice to satisfy government regs, cuz FREEDOM™!
