    A small story from Norway, kinda related to the Big Mac story. A burger place in Trondheim opened up under the name "Superhero Burger". The logo was a diamondshape with SHB inside of it. This was meant both as an homage to Superman and to market the brand as a "hero in the burger industry" as they made better burgers than all the fast food joints around (especially McDonanlds and Burger King. They even had a "Batman slaps robin"-style meme drawn in the restaurant where the brand superhero mascot punches Ronald McDonald saying "No more mass produced burgers" or something like that). Because of the logos similarity to the Superman logo, DC sued the restaurant chain (which at this point was a single restaurant), both for the logo, but also the name. DC claimed they owed to rights to the word "Superhero".

    Creepy thing is that Oprah episode cannot be found anywhere: torrent sites, shady streaming bootleg sites... nowhere. It's considered fully lost media despite the fact she WON the case. That's the power of the corporate lobby in the U.S. I've wanted to watch it for decades but nothing.

    I'm impressed you said Amarillo correctly. I am born & raised in Amarillo. The beef rancher lawyer was my friend's dad. And the ONLY reason she won that case, was the ranchers didn't want to invest anymore money in the case. It was the lawyer's only case loss.
