Maybe it's because I lived up the street from a Carl's Jr. in LA that this thought always pops into my head:
1. Both flags are five pointed stars
2. The color scheme is basically the exact same: yellow and red.
3. The smiley face in the Carl's Jr. flag is almost identical to the cartoonish Vietnamese propaganda posters all over this country. Like this one:
I'm not sure what the conspiracy theory is but just be mindful next time you bite into a Carl's Jr. burger.

Lenin sipping Coca-Cola in Moscow: Uncle Ho and Colonel Sanders munching fried chickens together in Hanoi?
Some American tweaked out of his mind actually pitched that idea for an ad agency in Saigon.
Yeah, I was noticing the similarities too! When I realized it, I was laughing so hard. I don't think there is a connection, even though the design for the original Viet Minh flag was developed 1940 was in the same time frame as the development of Carl's Jr logo was founded by it's owner in the mid 40's. Probably pure coincidence, as I don't think Carl Karcher, Carl's Jr's founding owner, had any connection to or was sympathetic to Vietnam's liberation from French rule.
