The Burger King Shaved Off His Mustache and Beard, Is Now Only Slightly Less Creepy

To help ring in the facial hair-inspired month of Movember, and to sell some Whoppers, The King recently sat in a barber’s chair to get clean-shaven.

The shave is to help promote Movember and the men’s health issues this month hopes to bring awareness to. The King also has a challenge to those going mustachioed over the next 30 days.

Grow out the most epic stache possible and post it to social media with hashtag #KingstacheChallenge. Anyone who’d like to help the cause can also visit movember.org.

Fast Food Mascots Reimagined As Anime Characters

The problem with fast food mascots, besides ruling over bogus sovereignties and being a creepy clown, is that they aren’t very action-packed.

Illustrator, Ozumii Wizard, wants to change all of that, by reimagining fast food mascots as anime characters. By adapting the anime drawing style, the once non-threatening Burger King, Ronald McDonald and Wendy’s — look ready for battle. Hopefully that battle is against childhood obesity and coulrophobia.

Whopper Toothpaste May or May Not Exist

We’d like to believe that Burger King would actually release Whopper Toothpaste. However, it’s so close to April 1st and we’ve been hurt before.

There is, however, a high-quality video and fancy computer graphics to advertise said toothpaste. Would Burger King go through all of this trouble and ad spend just to toy with our emotions? And, why no onion ring floss?

Watch the video below and decide for yourself.

These Burger King Ads Show Actual BKs Burning Down To Remind Us That They Still Flame-Broil Their Burgers

Well, that’s one way to get the point across. Burger King wants you to know that their burgers are still flame broiled. To drive the point home even further, their new ad campaign is straight fire.

The series shows actual emergency scenes of BK restaurants burning down — implying that their flame-broiling is the real deal, and unfortunately not limited to the burgers.

So, are we to assume that McDonald’s locations never burn down? They do, but it’s usually because someone left an apple pie in the microwave too long. True story.

Burger King Is Offering Adult Happy Meals For Valentine’s Day

Now, it’s our time to get happy, adults… If you’re into that sorta thing. Burger King has released the Adults Meal — a Happy Meal-like package that, instead of containing a plastic kiddie toy, comes with a “romantic adult toy.”

The actual Adults Meal is two Whoppers, two packets of fries, two beers, and either a blindfold, head-massager, or feather duster. And, just like the kids, you’ll probably want to play with your toy first.

The Valentine’s Day gimmick is only available at select locations in Israel until 6pm tonight. Everyone else will just have to buy two Whoopers and hope for the best.
