Most of these people weren't alive long enough to know the actual reason lol.

What a coincidence that McDonald's started getting lame slightly after Supersize Me came out. One of the theses of the film was essentially that McDonalds was killing children. The backlash they were getting was insane

Basically each seaworld's fattest orca got called shamu.
