The rights to all of the names on the list were held either by Burger King or by its then parent company Pilsbury. Cowin selected the name Hungry Jack, which had already been used as the name of a brand of pancake mix marketed by Pilsbury in the United States, and then modified it slightly to Hungry Jack's.
