[VGC] Pizza™

I thought I should bring this to the attention of everyone (especially those present at Indianapolis last year):

The Indianapolis Convention Center is claiming a common law trademark for the use of the term "Pizza". Just in case any of you are planning to open up a pizza shop, please do not use the term "Pizza" in the name, as you will be infringing on their intellectual property. Regardless, I for one cannot wait to patronize their establishment once again this summer.

I can't be the only one who also thinks that "Indiana Grille" just looks wrong. Mainly because it's Indiana.

this totally makes sense

especially to anyone who has had Pizza™ pizza
 
hey let's just keep posting mundane things and adding trademark to the end that's really funny™

a company registering the name of a food is just ridiculous though
