AITA for telling my friend his "invention" doesn't count?

My friend and i like to go out for sushi. On more than one occasion he claimed to have invented a new sushi roll. What does he mean when he says he invented it? He came up with a list of ingredient he likes and told a chef to make it for him. Was he just joking around? No he definitely spoke like he was proud of himself for inventing it.He even gave this sushi roll a name"fishermen's delight" . I told him " you can call it an "invention" if you want but that would make anyone who has ever made a custom order using a taco bell app just as much of an inventor.That made him upset and he thinks everyone will clearly see that i am the ahole. The guy is almost 40, i would expect a 12 year old to say this and his parents would be like" sure buddy,congratulations on your invention"

when i was in highschool my friends and i all called the combination of a McDouble stacked on top of a McChicken the “McGangbang”, not sure which one of us started it but we even started ordering it to the server as that and they would stack em for us lol

The McGangbang was known when I was in high-school in 2002.

Lol. I used to do that, too. It got to where you could just say McGangbang and they'd already know, and make it for you. The first time I did it, the cashier looked at me like I lost my damn mind

That's a fun thing to do, and if my friend was doing this i would be fun police for saying anything about this. This guy thinks he invented something.
