    I don’t see how selling a similar looking chicken burger means there’s no innovation. Innovation in how the end product looks is just one form of innovation, and there are many more. Innovation in marketing, innovation in management practices, innovation in ingredients and sourcing, innovation in kitchen effiency, innovation in customer interaction, innovation in franchising and corporate structure, innovation in restaurant design, innovation in niche capitalization, innovation in novel products to attract groups, and I’m sure many more I can’t think of.

      Cmon m8, with all due respect dont be debating semantics.

      Of course there are diferences in the burgers and the entities that sell them, after all they are not made by the same people, the idea is the same in the product, and a chicken burger is not really a concept that should be judged with it being original or not, kinda like oatmeal or hooks or screws, like of course there are diferences, but that wasnt the point this dumb meme was trying to make, it was that companoes just copy each other in the pursuit for endless revenue and dont like totake risks in products that could make peoples lifes better, thats what its trying to say, now what it acctually says its that “capitalism bad cuz same chicken burger junk food” and ends up falling on its face and looking more like an “old man yells at cloud” kinda deal, but instead of a clowd its chicken burgers and instead of old man is a young snowflake.

        Yeah I get the idea, “right wingers say capitalism leads to innovation yet these chicken burgers all look the same”. My point in semantics was to say there is a lot more to innovation than the appearance of the end product.
