A nap? An alka-seltzer? A work-out at the gym?

Dunkin' Donuts has better coffee. *Real* coffee. (But they do have the
fufu girlie stuff for people so inclined.)
(That's my answer.)
And if DD is wrong, I'd say coffee plus an after-dinner drink at Ruby
Tuesday's (or, if it were franchised, which it isn't, a visit to the
plush Cigar & Martini Bar at Big Rock Chop and Brew House).

Good point. It's probably a better fit in the character of
establishment, too.
> (But they do have the fufu girlie stuff for people so inclined.)
I've always said fru-fru, especially regarding drinks with
umbrellas or other gimmicks.

Pepto-Bismol, I wouldn't think an explanation was necessary.

Often war is waged only in order to
show valor; thus an inner dignity is
ascribed to war itself, and even some
philosophers have praised it as an
ennoblement of humanity, forgetting the
pronouncement of the Greek who said,
"War is an evil in as much as it produces
more wicked men than it takes away."
--Immanuel Kant

I think you have the right spelling for this particular usage. (The last
time I spelled it in aue, I used "froo-froo." Why I used "fufu" this
time is a mystery to me.)
But those aren't the only versions. Searching in Google Groups:
foo-foo or foo foo = 122,000*
froo froo = 1000
fru fru = 7250
frou-frou = 6000+
fufu = Anywhere from 9000 to 30,000
* something going on there wrt "functions." (computers/programs)
** but that includes some "fu"s. Lots of "fu"s, probably.

Forgot the explanation. BK is being sued by a heavy metal band over
their Chicken Fries ad. Common theme is fast food restaurants being sued.

Then there's "bufu" which was alleged to be Valley Girl for "gay" in the
early 80's, but which doesn't seem to have ever caught on.

A New England Maple Cheddar sandwich at Dunkin' Donuts. Like all the
others, this item relates in at least one non-ridiculous and direct way to
Britain or British culture: here, (a) "Dunkin'" suggests the Scottish
name 'Duncan'; (b) Cheddar and (c) Sandwich are places in (d) England.
The others:
(1) Name 'Wendy' invented by Scottish playwright Barrie
(2) Long John Silver invented by Scottish author Stevenson
(3) McDonald's, McMuffin: employ 'Mc'/'Mac' patronymic associated with
Scottish surnames; 'Donald' is a Scottish name; muffins originated in
England (and the muffins of Egg McMuffins are specifically AmE "English
muffins" which are like BrE drop scones)
(4) Roast beef closely associated with traditional English culture;
according to J. J. Lodder, French people refer derogatorily to British
people as "rosbifs"; also Sandwich is a place in England
(5) Head of state in Britain is a Queen

And, I forgot to add: like all the others, the item comprises the name of
an American-based fast food chain and at least one food item offered by
that chain.

You can probably eliminate the jargonistic entries by masking the word
"bar"..."foo", "bar" and "baz" are the traditional "metasyntactic variables"
used in computer science to name any sort of abstract things that require
disambiguating labels to identify the various instances of those things....
"Foo foo" may also be picking up bunnies....r

Thank you!
I'm not sure whether you can make your Cormo into fast food. Doner
kebab? Is that the same as AmE "gyros"?

Actually, I thought Maria's answer was better. Can I give her my
prize?

I just now saw this post -- thank you for you kind remark. :-) However,
you were first, and Starbucks is probably more "worldly" than Dunkin'
Donuts. So, no reason to donate your prize. (However if you know any
answers to Q88 -- especially from P back to B....

I was serious, but since you got a sheep elesewhere I'll keep it.

I know you were kidding, but have to plead "Bear of very little
brain" status regarding these puzzles. I really just lucked out
on the one I got right. Usually I do pretty well on puzzles and
games, but these SDC things are way beyond my abilities.

And to think I was convinced that 'frou-frou' or 'frou frou' were the
absolutely positively only versions. My horizons have been broadened.
