The Underdogs - Supermacs And O'Neills Versus The World

October 07, 2020 • Season 2 • Episode 3

Everyone loves a good underdog story. And being Irish, we wanted to focus on two cases of indigenous companies taking on big business.

The first is a case of David versus Goliath - of Supermac versus BigMac. What happened when an Irish fast food chain took on one of the world’s biggest?

Also, if you see a pair of sports shorts with three stripes down the side, which brand do you think they are? Germany’s Adidas claims that GAA favourite O’Neills is passing off their shorts as being from Adidas. But who was victorious in court? We discuss their 1980s legal battle.
