Mind you, it being the Outback Steakhouse, I'm not surprised. The majority of their stuff has nothing to do with Australia.
And the dessert name "Chocolate Thunder From Down Under" makes all the Aussies I know stare in amazement, before bursting out laughing. We think the O.S. is extremely entertaining, in its general cluelessness. (They have, at least, stopped referring to the Bloomin' Onion as "an ab-original", which was horrifyingly racist.)
'Chocolate Thunder from Down Under.' (gulps in horror) Do people actually order this? It sounds like... umm, like it belongs in the toilet. Surely the Yanks would have the same reaction...
Oh dear, yes, Outback Steakhouse... Every Aussie who comes across this atrocity gasps in horror at the oh so very 'Australian' (read in a very broad yank accent) aspects of their menu. I could rant on and on about this. Chocolate thunder from down under (*shakes head in disbelief*)

Chocolate brownie topped with ice cream and fudge syrup.
Honestly, the Australian meaning of the name had never crossed my mind. Now I'll think of that every time I look at an Outback menu...

Read their menu, Aussies, if you haven't!
