Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I don't even live in America but I found this article (in PDF format) by Ursula Gross fascinating and a great read. Apparently they have so many Safeway stores in Washington that each has been unofficially named by the cities inhabitants. So you have super-secret-safeway hidden behind a school and not-so-safeway in, what I can only guess, is a none-to neighbourly neighbourhood. I can see this habit of naming stores taking off in the UK as some towns are now so saturated with a certian supermarket chain that no other competitor actually remains in the town!

In Atlanta we have a lot of Kroger stores.
Krogay == Kroger in Midtown on Monroe, the heart of gay Atlanta
Disco Kroger == Kroger in Buckhead, near all the nightclubs/bars
Ghetto Kroger == The Kroger on Moreland Avenue south of East Atlanta Village (since closed and reopened as a much nicer store)
Of course I also refer to Publix as "Pube-Licks", so I may just be weird.
