Russia changed the name of McDonald’s to “Tasty Period.”

Can you, as a Russophile, explain why they would select such a disgusting name?

Not a Russophile but I did go down short rabbit hole yesterday as a result of this thread. The name is not a redlight district where one obtains their blood wings from a rotating group of whores it is what one might think, a period of the day when one gets some tasty treats.

The first thing I learned is Micky D's in Russia was known for impeccable service and service with a smile along with well-kept and clean dining rooms. The food is similar but not quite as good (subjective) but the thing that stuck out most is they have no fries on the menu currently. The service however did not come with a smile nor the accompanying cheerfulness. One reviewer called it sad.period. Except for the lack of fries and the fact the shakc machine was working the new company seems to have captured the modern Mcdonalds quite well.
