Thunder from Down Under
Yeah, while the Outback Steakhouse
is a bit on the cheesy side, it’s a restaurant that to which we can
take my nephews (ages 2 and almost-4). Besides, the “Bloomin’ Onion” is
pretty good, as is the “Chocolate Thunder from Down Under”, despite the
fact that it sounds like a colloqiual term for “explosive diarrhea”…

The above comic from User Friendly may seem silly, but similar incidents have happened in
real life. I know of at least two people who ordered a “grande latte”
in Italy only to be surprised when they got a large glass of milk.
Bonus reading material: An Aussie in America writes about her impression of the Outback Steakhouse.

Thunder Down Under is also the name of a all-male strip show in Las Vegas.* That's what I always think of when I hear Outback Steakhouse commercials.
*Not that I've been but the thing is advertised all over the Strip.
