The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Ouch! Would you like some aloe for that flame-broiled burn, McDonald’s? A Burger King in Queens, New York decided to troll the entire McDonald’s franchise, by dressing up as the Ghost of McDonald’s.
Draped in large white sheets with eye-holes cut out, the BK took the trolling even further with their sign that reads, “Booooooo! Just kidding, we still flame grill our burgers. Happy Halloween.”
The costumed Burger King is located at 92-85 Queens Blvd. Your move, Mickey D’s.
We brought this upon ourselves. Our burrito worship appears to have spawned a fast food mash-up that we may never recover from… The Whopperrito.
A misguided hybrid of a Whopper and a Burrito, Burger King is apparently trying to capitalize on our “eat anything that’s wrapped in a tortilla” phase. Fortunately, this culinary monstrosity appears to be contained within one BK location in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, aka, Ground Zero for the Burrito Apocalypse.
But, perhaps I’m being too harsh… Let’s hear from a few Twitter users on the Whopperrito.
@BurgerKing The Whopperito is awful. Thought it was a whopper minus bun plus tortilla. Very disappointed.

Just heard about the Whopperrito. Probably a little better than the Big Mac wrap, but that’s not saying much. #ewww

BK what are you trying to do? Just do your burgers!

Nah, I was right. Nice going, BK… Burritos were all some of us had left.

Why should your vehicle have “new car” or pine smell, when it could have the scent of flame-broiled meats?
Burger King Brasil recently released a Whopper Air Freshener. It became part of a BK marketing campaign, where taxi drivers hung a Whopper Air Freshener in their cab and picked up drunk party goers.
The result… the smell of Whopper overwhelmed the drunkards’ munchies, and they ordered the driver to hit the nearest Burger King. Pine trees can’t do that.

Would you like to relax before ingesting that Whopper and Chicken Fries? Well, there may be no better way, than to sit in The Burger King Sauna.
The BK-branded sweat box is only part of an entire spa in Helsinki, Finland. Customers can enjoy all the amenities before they hit the restaurant. So, relax, sweat it out… It’ll soon be replaced with grease and mayo.

Just in case your Whopper isn’t red and ornery enough, Burger King will unleash what they call the “Angriest Whopper.”
What makes this burger so mad at the world? For starters, it has hot sauce baked right into the bun. It also includes jalapeños, and “flaming” onion rings.
This burger not angry enough for you? Well, remember… it also has to hang out at Burger King all day.
The Angriest Whopper will be available starting March 31st for a limited time at limited locations.
