To stay within the food sphere, how about "kapsalon"[0] in Poland? Popular fast food created in the Netherlands in 2003. "kapsalon" is Dutch for "hairdressing salon". Etymologically, it can be tracked to a man who always asked for "the usual for the hair dresser".

Polish workers took the name home and it's now not an uncommon sight in Poland [1], amongst other places.

P.S. Don't eat it. It is disgustingly fat and unhealthy...

Nothing really disgusting about it, it’s just a pile of fries, meat, cheese and salad. Not much worse than the average Shawarma in healthiness, probably better.

A large serving feeds two easily.

"...1,800 kilocalories in a large serving" !

Eat two pints of ice cream (2K cal) and nobody bats an eye, but eat a large serving of kapsalon and everybody loses their minds.
