Burger King Mac n’ Cheetos: Deep Fry All the Things

Posted on by

Growing up, I use to love fast food burger joints like McDonalds and Burger King. These days, I avoid them like the plague because the food is terrible. I’m all Whataburger all the time, bros. Burger King has tied up with Frito-Lay to create a new deep fried snack that sounds dubious. It’s called Mac n’ Cheetos.

At first glance, they look like some nice puffy Cheetos to snack on whilst staining your fingers orange for hours afterwards. Rather than being puffy corn inside, the Burger King bastardization has macaroni and cheese inside. It sounds really weird. It’s like fried mac and cheese rolled in Cheetos dust.

Burger King plans to sell the new snack for about eight weeks or until supplies run out. An order of the odd snacks will set you back $2.49(UDS). The pack of five bites has 310 calories and unlike many strange fast food creations, it seems these ones are bound for the U.S.

Burger King Whopper Air Freshener: For That Fresh, Flame-broiled Scent

Posted on by

Your car probably already smells like a Whopper thanks to that half-eaten burger you crumpled up in the bag and tossed in the back seat, but if that’s not you, there’s a better way to get that smell. Burger King Brasil is here to help.

To celebrate the recently passed International Hamburger Day, they released a batch of Whopper air fresheners. That’s right. air fresheners that make your car smell like a flame-broiled burger. Just in case you need that smell in your car. I guess it beats rubbing meat all over your upholstery. But really, if you want your car to smell like a Whopper, just buy a Whopper. Just don’t drop any french fries under your car seat.

Burger King Game Boy Toy Modded into Working Handheld

Posted on by

Remember that cheap fake Game Boy you could get from Burger King back in the day? Yeah, I know. You thought it sucked because of course, it didn’t actually play games. Well, 16 years later, it does.

In the year 2000, Burger King handed out some cute tiny Game Boy Colors with fake Pokémon cartridges. Recently, modder Chase Lambeth turned one into a working unit. Using a Raspberry Pi Zero, he made a working console out of the old toy. Paired with a two-inch display from Adafruit and RetroPie’s software emulator, it will play Game Boy Color and Advance titles with working buttons.

It only has the A & B buttons, so some titles might be troublesome, but this is still an awesome mod.

The Burger King Sauna Won’t Flame-Broil Your Whopper

Posted on by

When the Burger King in Helsinki, Finland says “Have it Your Way,” they aren’t kidding. Now you can relax and have a steam bath with your Whopper. Yes, this Burger King sauna actually exists.

What’s weird about a couple of near naked guys enjoying a steam bath while eating Whoppers? That’s not strange at all. Just don’t drop drop your fries. Just kidding.

Apparently, you are supposed to enjoy this before you eat. Makes sense I guess. Given what BK does to your body, they should at least help you take some of that weight off. I’m just glad the King isn’t sitting in there staring at you the whole time with his giant head. That would be really weird.

If you happen to be in Helsinki any time soon, you can book an appointment for the Burger King sauna on the Restel website.

The 700 Pickle Whopper is Brine-tastic

Posted on by

I really like pickles. Growing up my friends and I would snack on big bowls of them frequently, and I was even a bit of a pickle making master. My pickle seasoning process involved mostly sprinkling some of everything my dad had in the spice cabinet on the pickles and eating up. But I’ve never eaten a burger with this many pickles on it.

It appears that Burger King in Japan will make you whatever you want if you have the loot in your pocket to pay for it. The dudes from Rocket News 24 spent about $89 on a Double Whopper with over 700 pickle slices crammed on it. That is too many pickles even for a pickle fan like me. Plus it’s a Whopper, which typically means stale bun and meat that was fresh two days ago.

I wouldn’t spend $89 for anything at Burger King this side of that awesome Hershey’s chocolate pie they offer. These same Rocket News guys did order a Whopper with 1050 pieces of bacon before. That I could totally get behind.

Burger King HA1loween Whopper has a Black Bun

Posted on by

I’m not sure how exactly I have missed the black Whopper that Burger King is selling during Halloween so far. It’s probably because I am a Whataburger man and leave lesser burgers for the plebs. The black Whopper gets its black bun color in part from the A1 steak sauce flavor in the bun. Since A1 is brown, clearly Burger King has done some voodoo to get the bun so black.

halloween-whopperzoom in

It looks strangely appetizing to me and I may have found today’s lunch. After you eat the HA1loween Whopper, you get one more surprise courtesy of Burger King. The black bun will turn your deuce green. Happy Halloween!

BK is apparently using some sort of concentrated dye, which has the odd side effect of green poo. BK notes that the dye is safe and within the FDA realm for food use and safety. Black bun and green deuce, I know what I am trying for lunch. I wonder if the Red Samurai burger that BK offers in Japan turns turds red.

Angry Red Samurai Burgers Land at Burger King Japan

Posted on by

Burger King Japan is at it once more, with yet another strange burger variant we’re unlikely to ever see here in the States. The Aka Samurai Burger features a bright red bun, and a spicy flavor to go with it.

The bun gets its brilliant red color from tomato powder, while inside is a burger patty, an onion, “angry” sauce, and red cheese. Yes, red cheese. Too bad they won’t serve meat rare at the BK Lounge. There’s also a chicken version if you’re not into beef.

And if red isn’t your color, the restaurant is also featuring yet another series of black bunned burgers, the Kuro Shogun and Kuro Taisho, which get their color by adding charcoal to the flour:

Burger King Perfume Headed to Japan: Oh, the Japanity!

Posted on by

Japan has some very weird stuff. In fact, I think Japan is the source of most of the weird stuff in the world. Typically, when we talk Burger King, we are talking about some strange food that will be available at their Japanese locations. This time out it’s a perfume.

bk-scentzoom in

The scent is called “Flame-Grilled” and you can guess what it smells like. The smell coming from the grill at Burger King is the only good thing about the restaurant to me. The fragrance will only be offered in Japan and will launch on April 1.

You may be thinking, “Wait a minute! April Fools!” Apparently, in Japan April 1 is “Whopper Day” at Burger King, and unofficial holiday and this is supposedly a real product. I’m still hoping that this is fake. Who really wants to smell like grilled beef patties?

Burger King Japan Unveils Burgers with Cheese on the Outside

Posted on by

We all know what a cheeseburger is; it’s a hamburger with cheese on the INSIDE. Burger King Japan is rolling to a couple new sandwiches, one a normal burger and the other with chicken inside that have cheese on the outside.

fondu-burgerzoom in

BK is calling these fondue burgers. As a child of the ’80s I just recall fondue at holiday gatherings. It was a pot of melted cheese with little forks that you use to poke bread and then dip it into the primordial cheese goo.

These burgers have a bowl of cheese that you pour on the outside of the bun and eat away. These weird sandwiches will land in Japan for a limited time next year.
