Corporate Cannibalism was first established by the CrustClown King in several NoCoZo major systems during the late re-evaluation period. It uses annoying and invasive advertising to memetically engineer the populace to dislike the icon or leading identity of the chain.
They then specifically patronize the outlets, often ordering the icon medium rare because, as one anonymous but oft-quoted patron of the CrustClown King once said "I want to hear the bastard scream".
Corporate cannibalism occurs when companies introduce new products into a market in which these products are already established. In effect, the new products are competing against their own incumbent products.
