    Showing my age here a bit but back in the day a lot of the throwaway merch you'd get at birthday parties there was distinctly royalty-themed. Looking back it made zero sense without the context but as a kid I didn't even question why we got given cardboard crowns. I guess a lot of the marketing was just imported from the states without thought to the name change.

      Did Hungry Jack's have the Pokemon movie gold cards in the Pokeballs too? That shit was incredibly tight in grade school
