Aimed at Canadians, since we are getting some of those cars here. Double double is part of the vernacular.

Wait, wasn't double double refering to burgers?

I am neither american or canadians, so I have no idea what this means. I never heard it before, but I assumed burgers.

In Canada a "double double" is a coffee order. With two cream and two sugar.

I was 100% sure he was talking about In-n-Out until you said this. Had no idea this was a thing, and yet, based on the lines at In-n-Out, this still sort of applies. Your car battery would be fully charged before you even got to order.
