JB, did you create DC's Big Belly Burger franchise?
I recently re-read your Superman run and found the references (in your run and after) to Big Belly Burgers fun. After reading the comics, I noticed the name popping up in other comics of the same vintage (Booster Gold, I think), and some more recent books.
Also, the restaurant has appeared In THE ARROW TV show and was referenced in THE FLASH's season finale. I think it has been mentioned, or shown, in some of the DC cartoons, as well.
According to an unreliable source (Wikipedia), the first mention of Big Belly Burger was Adventures of Superman #441. It's kind of a silly thing, but I enjoy seeing the franchise pop up every now and then.

Big Belly Burger sprang from Ordway.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but Big Belly Burger made it to the small screen in the season finale of the Flash; Dr. Wells had a BBB soda, with a logo on the plastic cup and all.

Yes, certainly; but I thought there was a difference between a reference and actually seeing a Big Belly Beverage. Of course Bryan E. was right... and first.
