Did you not see where I said I worked for 3 major chains and they would not allow such a thing? I worked in upper level marketing management—the people who make the decisions.

I also said local franchisees (or even local store management in company owned stores) are not allowed to come up with the names for their own drinks. This is explicitly prohibited for exactly this reason. Coming up with your own drinks is prohibited, too.
