King Kong Roll

King Kong is a popular movie, first made in 1933 and remade in 1976 and 2005.

Some years before the 2005 remake, the "King Kong roll" (sushi) was invented. (We do not know where.) Since the 2005 remake, more sushi places have sold it.

The "King Kong Roll," unlike a "turkey roll," has no ingredients of a giant ape. The ingredients vary considerably, but it is not at all clear that it consists of ingreidents (tuna or eel or crab or shrimp) that an ape would eat.

So why is it called a "King Kong Roll"? Because the roll is large? Because it's a name that sells?
