Burger King may be fast food royalty but there are some things BK doesn't want you to know
these are 10 Burger King secrets you never knew about trying to hijack Google devices
for advertising is that good it sounds bad BK has a long history of using some bizarre Market
employees but in 2017 they came up with the most bizarre or ingenious of them all the concept was
really spectacular and included more than just a commercial it also entailed using Google home
devices and viewers homes the aim was essentially to shoot a little commercial with an actor asking
okay Google what is the Whopper burger it was a clever use of media any Google home device
that heard the audio from the commercial would respond by reading the Wikipedia page for the
Whopper Google undoubtedly did not find this amusing and they disapproved of the misuse of
their users gadgets the audio clip was reportedly added to the list of things Google home would not
not respond to after the advertisement had only been running for roughly three hours
people had already seized the chance to add all kinds of dubious material to the whopper's Wiki
page demonstrating that even the most ingenious marketing schemes can be manipulated while still
achieving their initial objectives one thing is for sure it got folks talking there's a Burger
King Sauna you are allowed to eat in the sauna because at some places they get mad saunas are
really popular in some colder parts of the world in a traditional sauna hot rocks are placed in a
vessel with water which is heated to a given temperature through the use of a stove saunas
are often constructed as a wood paneled room when the first fast food sauna debuted in 2016
Burger King accomplished a significant first for the fast food World it makes perfect sense that
it's located in Helsinki Finland has around 2 million saunas serving a population of about
5.5 million people however there's only one off authorized location where you can unwind with
a steam have a staff member take your order and then stuff yourself silly with a Whopper and some
fries while working up a serious sweat they offer robes imprinted with the BK Insignia and their
space inside for around 15 people don't worry you can even take a shower there after enjoying
some beer from the refrigerator and relaxing in front of the big screen TV Shut Up And Take My
Money it shouldn't surprise anyone that the BK sauna has been so popular where else might you
actually experience eating in Asana the BK mascot scares everyone your majesty I apologize for my
disrespectful remarks Burger King is a brand that has been serving up flame broiled Burgers
since 1953. the chain is known for its fast food but it also offers a variety of other menu items
including salads wraps and desserts the chain is headquartered in Miami Florida and has close to 20
000 locations worldwide like many other fast food food Giants they also have their own unique mascot
and of course that mascot is a king if the BK King gives you nightmares you're not alone forget
about clowns he may be the spookiest food mascot around he received over 20 of the votes in a 2014
Consumer poll asking which food mascots people thought were the creepiest what makes things
even more unsettling is how many times Burger King featured the king in advertisements which
made the ads unquestionably nightmare inducing one ad had people waking up to discover him in the bed
nah that's not creepy at all we could all rest a little easier at night knowing he would formerly
be retired in the midst of what BK claimed was an effort to revamp its marketing approach oh right
well that is good to know the King was removed from commercials but it took just four years
before he was back in Action depending on how resilient you are to nightmares you may decide
whether or not that is a good thing the special Crown card that celebrities have it's too bad
you can't just use my AmEx black card oh that's great we can use that Hugh Laurie an intensely
famous actor shocked the gossip community in 2008 with a single casual remark to the London times he
said possessing a unique lifetime unrestricted BK Crown card was one of the benefits of being
a superstar he said that other famous people like Jay Leno and George Lucas also possessed
the card and that membership in the organization was exclusive bloggers were startled jealous and
hateful in equal measure but they all seem to forget that before he appeared on the hit show
house he was a comedian when his remarks generated a stir Lori received one of the cards even though
he didn't actually have one at the time I see what you did there good one the chains pay it your way
programs senior manager claims that Lori is the 12th famous person to obtain one of the coveted
cards they are given out for no reason other than for merely being famous because she was formerly a
BK employee Jennifer Hudson received one when her popularity exploded however you can obtain one of
the cards as well but you'll have to pay for it they created the world's most expensive burger
everyone put in 20 each uh yes I'll cover you there are a few things better than a good burger
the combination of fresh juicy beef with a robust fresh and fluffy bun is a delicious and satisfying
meal however the cost of a good burger can be prohibitive for some that's why it's so important
to find the best cheap burger places in town which usually end up being fast food joints Burger
King entered the battle of the absurdly costly burgers in 2008 with a dish simply referred to as
the burger the burger a high-end hamburger Burger created with wagyu beef patanegra ham onion straws
made using Cristal Champagne white truffles and of course Modena balsamic vinegar was only available
at one West London BK restaurant and it cost 95 pounds or almost 200 at the time the move gained
BK the distinction of selling what was at the time the most expensive fast food burger in the world
despite the fact that British newspapers weren't too thrilled with it the guardian criticized the
burger for its carbon impact and its flavor overload however there was more to it than
simply an expensive meal and a chance to brag to your buddies all of the money was donated to
help a London child a charity which supports children and young people who are struggling
with issues including homelessness poverty illness and abuse at least the pricey meal was all about a
worthwhile cause a secret menu burger called the suicide Burger I need to eat 10 000 calories a
day to maintain muscle mass while many fast food restaurants have tried to add different options
to their menu over the years some have suffered from a lack of creativity at times and refuse
to change their offerings despite customer demand customers in turn have come up with some of their
own special orders over the years that aren't found on regular menus at most fast food chains
secret menus are more correctly defined as menu items that aren't on the standard menu since you
know they're kind of secret the suicide Burger is one of those secret menu items available at
BK if your establishment doesn't really know what the suicide Burger is you might just be able to
order it by another moniker a quad stacker online posters claim It's a larger version of the Triple
Stacker this BK Burger is entirely Overkill since it has four patties four pieces of cheese a layer
of bacon and their unique sauce dude shut up that is awesome sauce and this burger doesn't seem
particularly healthy it most certainly isn't there is nutritional information available about the
Triple Stacker however there is no official info on the quad stacker for those who dare to eat the
suicide Burger you may want to wash it down with a bottle of water and skip the fries as you'll
already be eating enough calories for an entire day behind the impossible Whopper would you like
to have lunch are you a vegetarian one plant-based alternative to Conventional meat Burgers is known
as The Impossible Burger it's claimed to imitate the taste smell and texture of beef
while some contend that the impossible Burger is healthier for you than beef based Burgers others
are worried that some of its components may not be the best for the environment Burger King is
entirely changing how we think about Burgers which is something you wouldn't anticipate from a huge
Burger chain BK said at the beginning of 2019 that they would be testing the impossible Burger
the most promising meatless Burger of of the 21st century and 59 of their locations in the St Louis
region less than a month later they realized it was a huge hit and announced that by the end of
the year impossible Whoppers would be available at every shop in the nation that really was a
huge step forward from meatless fast food options Burger King really gained some positive notoriety
from this move and if anybody can make meatless Burgers popular it's them this is seriously as
good or better than a real hamburger can I get a couple more to take to work it didn't take long
for things to get out of hand impossible food said they were struggling to meet the enormous demand
for their burgers after Burger King announced they would start selling impossible Whoppers worldwide
the company increased production and their distribution Network to make sure demand was met
Whopper delivery while stuck in traffic traffic no more traffic have you ever been stuck in traffic
and wished you had a Whopper at that very moment yes yes perfect Burger King has heard you and is
addressing the issue the launch of the traffic jam Whopper ad was a huge success for Burger
King in 2019. having first tested it in Mexico City it became an instant hit here's how it works
consider yourself stuck in a clogged up traffic situation trying to reach your destination and
you're craving a burger grab the Burger King app order a Whopper meal and a motorcycle rider will
arrive at your vehicle window shortly thereafter with your food smart and smart the software also
provides all the information you want calculating things like how long you have left to place an
order before you'll be out of the delivery area using real-time data it raised Mexico City's BK
deliveries by 63 percent hopefully the busiest cities close to you will soon get this technology
is it brilliant or completely pointless you decide but to most people stuck in a large traffic jam
it sounds like a nice option to have they spoke out about net neutrality the sandwich is ready
I'm just not allowed to actually get it you can't give me the sandwich it's ready but you can't give
it to me the way the internet is regulated today has led to the net neutrality debate this debate
is very complex but basically net neutrality means that every website operates on a Level
Playing Field with service providers giving equal access and speed to each site without preference a
number of well-known people and organizations have weighed in on the critical topic of net
neutrality to highlight how disastrous it would be if internet service providers were permitted
to charge extra for quicker priority service Burger King created an ad that asked consumers
if they would choose to pay more for their Whopper to receive it faster to illustrate
how absurd and aggravating the situation may be it's said that because BK could earn more money by
selling chicken sandwiches rather than hamburgers they were prioritizing chicken which would slow
down how quickly consumers could get a Whopper customers would pay depending on a Whoppers MVP
PS which they dubbed Making burgers per second so you got the slow access Whopper pass wait
what customers also agreed this was ludicrous and that wasn't enough to demonstrate Burger King's
position on net neutrality they went one step further it's undoubtedly a fantastic strategy
to alert people to the impending hazards and they referred viewers to a petition to support
maintaining an open internet healthy fries that completely failed hey is that healthy
food fries are the perfect accompaniment to any meal they're hot salty and crispy which
is the perfect way to experience the best of the best and what potatoes have to offer even better
once you've tasted the best fries you'll never be able to look at any others in the same way there's
just no comparison Burger King introduced its lower calorie more expensive satisfies with the
disclaimer that sales will ultimately determine their Destiny they first appeared on BK menus
in September of 2013 and by August 2014 less than a year later many restaurants had already
abandoned this healthier choice not good enough let's put this in perspective the tiny portion
of satisfies still had 40 more calories than a small serving of ordinary McDonald's fries
satisfies had around 40 percent less fat and 30 percent fewer calories than their usual
fries but they cost more BK also stated that they would be bringing back another menu item chicken
fries at the same time they were getting away from satisfies in most locations this little snapshot
of fast food economics is an illustration of one of the main issues facing the sector the
unhealthy menu items are being prioritized above the healthy ones under the pretense of satisfying
consumer demand it's okay to expect fast food restaurants to put profits over their customers
house but at what point does this become dangerous to the consumer it is what it is
