10 Tarantino Brands That Don't Actually Exist in Real Life

9. Teriyaki Donut

We're not too sure what a Teriyaki Donut is, but they must make one hell of a breakfast sandwich. Featured briefly in Pulp Fiction (Marsellus Wallace is seen carrying drinks from Teriyaki Donut before he is hit with Butch's car), Teriyaki Donut, with its own kiosk inside the glorious Del Amo Fashion Center, features itself quite nicely in Tarantino's Jackie Brown during a meetup between Jackie (Pam Grier) and Ordell (Samuel L Jackson). They both seem to be enjoying large soft drinks, perhaps a Teriyaki Smoothie? Not without character, the logo for Teriyaki Donut features a Miyazaki style cat sitting in front of a steaming cup of coffee, ready to dip what for all intensive purposes must be a Teriyaki Donut. Tarantino has never shed any light on the inclusion of this fictitious restaurant, but if they ever opened one up I'm sure we'd all line up, just to see what exactly a Teriyaki Donut tastes like.
