Pumper Nic (or just Pumper) was a popular chain of fast-food restaurants in Argentina during the 1980s. It is currently considered by many Argentines to be a cult classic. Its name is derived from the German pumpernickel, a type of bread. The signature sandwich was the Mobur, a sandwich with an egg in between. It was founded by Tito Lowenstein in 1974, also an ex-owner of Quickfood, founder of the renowned Argentine beef hamburger supplier, "Paty", and the "Las Leñas" tourist complex in Argentina. Pumper Nic's name and logo was a based upon Burger King's, before the latter started operating in Argentina. When Burger King and McDonald's started business in Argentina, Pumper had to change its logo due to a lawsuit by Burger King and started losing money, eventually going bankrupt. Pumper Nic became defunct in 1999. The franchise had a mascot, a green hippo called "NIC". ==Products== One of their famous menu items was ''Dos por uno'' − two burgers for the price of one. French fries were called ''frenys''.〔(Adventures of a First Year Teacher in a Third World Country - Donald Hayes )〕 Names of other Pumper Nic sandwiches include: Mobur, Jaque (JAmon y QUEso, ham and cheese) and JaqueH. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pumper Nic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
