    What imaginary supply line are you talking about? Do you think that any food there is not supplied locally? That they import paper wrappings with a logo from the US? Actually the ones probably importing their stuff are sitting in the US, even if it's just plastic trash from China.

    It's a name. And if they got told not to use it anymore or they just don't pay anything anymore… what is supposed to happen? Someone goes to Russia and sues them there?

      Burger King corporate supplies the wrappers, the branding, the marketing, and the damn product. These franchises don't "make" anything in house. They reheat par-cooked food that, in this case, BK corporate has delivered to them via truck. BK corporate has had over a year to cut that supply line. They own the branding, and therefore the wrappers.
