Strange Logo

Should there be any discussion over the fact that the symbol for Happy Eater looked like someone either suffering from Bulimia, or someone puking up the food they have just eaten (because it was so bad?). It was a joke that many people in the UK discussed. Unfortunately I think finding a reference for it will be hard. :( —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jommoner (talk • contribs) 08:52, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

It was certainly a standing joke for many years in the UK that the Happy Eater sign showed someone trying to make themselves sick after eating one of their disgusting meals. It would be worth adding this to the article if a reference can be found. --80.176.142.11 (talk) 19:58, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Reopening of Happy Eater 2010

Nothing anywhere else on the net suggesting that they will be reopened. Have removed unless original poster can provide a better source - twitter doesn't count! --94.171.113.159 (talk) 15:05, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

This was believed to be a hoax. It is easily checkable. Look up who owns the Happy Eater trademark, if anyone, these days. Farrtj (talk) 06:44, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

First Male Front-of-House

I dispute the entry '...Weekes became the first male waiter across the national chain.' I am male and started at the Whitstable Happy Eater washing-up in early 1982. After a few months, and after leaving school, I moved to waiting front-of-house full-time, followed again a few months later to the griddle. I do not recall any culture of putting males or females into particular roles, it was simply what you were good at doing or what you showed and interest in.
