Burger King is be gettin’ ribs

June 9th, 2009 | 1 Comment

It came to my attention last Friday via Pork Magazine (wait what?) that Burger King will begin testing the addition of pork short ribs to their menu in several key markets. Dubbed “Fire-Grilled Ribs,” and a long term plan to offer the ribs in up to 3,500 of its locations in the U.S., it remains clear that Burger King wants us to all die a little sooner. The more fascinating aspect of these upcoming horrors of fast food is the fact that they will be bone-in; whereas the slightly less horrifying (but no less disgusting) McRib contains 100% less bones, the vision of a Burger King littered with rib bones left behind by ignorant customers is kind of – make that really – disgusting. And I guess functionally the bone litter … Read entire article »

Burger King brings back tiny burgers again, again

February 18th, 2009 | 1 Comment

Except now they’re called “Burger Shots.” Tiny little burgers in packs of three or six, more than likely you could eat them all in one mouthful. So basically, you get the equivalent of two burgers with twice the bread AND the cost! Also Burger Shots? Pretty lame name if you ask me, especially considering they were “Burger Bundles” in 1987, and then “Burger Buddies” in the 90s. I suppose in another 8-10 years they’ll be “Burger Drops” or “Burger Flying Cars” or whatever timely rehash name they give them. Eh anyway, enjoy the timeline of rebranding! Burger Bundles: Burger Buddies: Burger Shots: FILE NOT FOUND – Burger King is apparently being dickholes and not allowing anyone to save the current iteration’s commercials to Youtube. Dicks. You can however find the commercial by going here. … Read entire article »

Shouldn’t We All Smell Like Hamburgers? Requiem

January 7th, 2009 | 2 Comments

The short answer to this question is no, no we should not smell like hamburgers. After the holidays, I found in my mailbox the Burger King Flame “body spray” that I ordered some time ago and thought “heh.” It comes in a tiny bottle much like the bottle in the picture, in fact it’s almost actual size in the picture depending on your monitor, and with due diligence I sprayed as bit on my wrist. Let’s just say it doesn’t exactly smell like hamburgers, or really much of anything at all except for the cheapest, crappiest cologne imaginable. Every. Single. Person. That has smelled this stuff has likened it to Sex Panther at some point in their reaction to it, without exception. To make matters really much worse, the bottle leaks slightly … Read entire article »
