jeez you had to take me to such a dump burger king was booked up despite burger king's success as
one of the world's largest fast food chains they have had some epic fails along the way here are
15 of the biggest flops in burger king history meatloaf sandwich oh that meatloaf tasted great
the origins of american meatloaf are pretty humble it was invented back in the 1870s in new england
to make use of leftover cold meats but do you really want to eat leftover meat when you pay
for a sandwich at burger king well burger king was convinced customers would be into it they spent
a lot of money on a bizarre ad campaign in the 90s the commercial featured mtv sports host dan
cortese asking people if they liked the sandwich needless to say everyone said it was delicious one
man even went as far as saying it was better than his mother's meatloaf what you say about my mama
but alas despite all of burger king's greatest efforts the meatloaf sandwich did not take off
and burger king ultimately discontinued the strange sandwich whopperito we only really
serve mexican food one mexican cheeseburger what do you get when you marry a burger king whopper
and a burrito well a whopperito of course in 2016 the north american president of burger king saw
that tex-mex food was gaining in popularity throughout the u.s and canada as a result
bk was determined to be a player in the tex-mex market and so voila the whopper rita was born
burrito is a whopper covered in queso sauce inside a flour tortilla instead of a regular bun most bk
customers agreed that the new whopperito was bland and strange and had little to do with burritos
or tex-mex cuisine for that matter newsweek's culture website described the whopperito as being
as disgusting as it looks so in the end maybe it's a good thing that it got cancelled
real meals is this for real like for real for real 2019 was an exciting year scientists released the
first image of a black hole and the queen of england elizabeth ii posted her first photo
on instagram that 2019 was also the year that burger king decided to develop a new concept for
mood themed meals allegedly to help bring public attention to the importance of mental health each
meal represented a different mood and was labeled the pissed meal blue meal salty meal yes meal and
degaff maybe next time desean well wait until you hear about the commercial which intercuts
between different sad and angry teenagers all of whom express their negative feelings about their
lives before singing the lyrics all i ask is that you let me feel my way needless to say that the
whole concept behind real meals was obliterated on twitter for making light of mental health issues
by gen zers and millennials it's hard to imagine what burger king was thinking when they came up
with the concept for these meals burger king's dinner baskets dinner is served burger king is
known for flame broiled burgers good fast food and a casual atmosphere suitable for people on the go
but what if burger king also offered something different like a more sophisticated and mature
experience akin to a fine dining restaurant enter burger king's dinner baskets honey
come on food's ready i'm not hungry the dinner baskets were complete meals that included shrimp
crispy chicken and a whopper served with new side dishes the special service was offered
between 4 and 8 pm and the burger king dinner baskets were brought right to your table by a bk
server unlike regular fast food orders burger king deliberately made sure that dinner baskets took
longer to arrive but despite all the hype burger king customers were not convinced and the dinner
baskets were eventually discontinued burger king hot dogs my hot dog getting snoop dogg to do a
commercial about hot dogs sounds like a pretty good start doesn't it after all snoop is hardly
lacking charisma he has a large unwavering fan base around the world and has left an undeniable
mark on music culture but when burger king used him in an ad campaign to promote its new line of
hot dogs the reception was ice cold where my dog's at why you might ask according to food
critics and amateur reviewers alike no amount of publicity could save burger king's hot dogs
the new york post described it as a disgusting disgrace which was not masked by messy squiggles
of industrial-grade mustard ketchup near liquid green relish and chopped onions ouch
as you might have already expected the hot dogs failed and are no longer offered at burger king
bacon sundae what i said was give me all the bacon and eggs you have modern life is pushing people to
experiment with food weird savory and sweet food combinations are on the rise
many of them taste great and have become viral sensations on instagram and tick tock but not all
weird food combinations work back in 2012 burger king thought it would take a calculated risk by
releasing the bacon sundae a regular sundae with a vanilla soft-serve base covered in hot caramel and
bacon yes bacon there was a lot of hype behind the release of the bacon sundae people were excited to
try it and indeed some people did give the sundae positive reviews amen but many others gave burger
king's bacon sundae a big thumbs down some press reports called the bacon sundae a monstrosity and
an abomination against man burger shots this is a tasty burger first came burger buddies which were
created when burger king became jealous of white castle's extremely successful burger sliders and
decided they wanted to get into the small burger game but burger buddies didn't work out but some
two decades later burger king decided to try again with burger shots burger shots were a
group of six small burgers like burger buddies but the six burgers were now placed inside
six conjoined burger buns this time why did burger king think this would make a difference nobody
knows burger king heavily advertised burger shots across the u.s and had high hopes but alas their
ambitions to penetrate the small burger market failed once again turkey burger there's no such
thing as a turkey burger want to enjoy the burger flavor without the red meat then a turkey burger
may be just right for you turkey burgers are made of ground turkey usually made of surplus drumstick
and thigh meat mixed with various spices and breadcrumbs turkey burgers became popular in the
70s and 80s and started becoming even more popular in the 1990s and 2000s so in 2013 burger king
released its own turkey burger which was marketed as a healthier alternative to its beefy whoppers
but even though the turkey burger did get some positive reviews it ultimately
flopped and has since been discontinued sun grilled whopper we need whoppers
yeah picture it you're in a sprawling modern city in the middle of the arabian desert
it's 122 degrees outside a man uses a strange machine to grill burger patties on a large
industrial grill by harnessing solar power sounds like post-apocalyptic sci-fi well it's not back in
2018 burger king decided to take advantage of the extreme heat in kuwait and built a satellite-like
machine that uses the sun to cook burgers challenge accepted the idea had the potential to
save on electricity and sounded pretty futuristic but in the end it didn't work out and burger king
no longer offers sun-grilled burgers to customers in kuwait pizza burger since four days ago when
i saw you house a cheeseburger pizza pizza and burgers are often on people's favorite food lists
after all who doesn't like burgers and pizza not me obviously but what would happen if you combined
these two fantastic foods well you get a pizza burger in the 80s burger king decided to create a
hybrid burger slash pizza sadly though the result of burger king's imagination was a burger with
a very slight pizza flair the burger patty and bun were oversized approximately the size of a
small pizza meanwhile the burger patty itself was covered with ingredients that vaguely evoke pizza
flavors marinara sauce pepperoni and mozzarella cheese it sounds more like a joke and as you
might expect the idea didn't catch on cupcake shake yummy what's the big deal about cupcakes
why do people like them so much some will tell you it's because anyone can make them others will
tell you it's because there are so many options to choose from or because they just look so darn cute
whatever the reason the recent cupcake phenomenon started in the early 2000s when the characters
and sex and the city were seen eating cupcakes at magnolia bakery everyone went crazy for cupcakes
and back in 2009 burger king found a novel way of jumping on the bandwagon they released the cupcake
shake the cupcake shake was covered with colorful sprinkles and whipped cream and resembled a giant
funfetti cupcake sounds sweet it is sweet the cupcake shake got a lot of positive reviews for
tasting like actual cake batter and eggnog and evoking real cupcake vibes but it seems sales of
the cupcake shake were not good enough for burger king to continue making them western burger now
we ride a teenage boy with the beginnings of a mustache is staring at the mirror while munching
on a whopper shortly after two men in a sterile looking office bite into their own whoppers then
we see a group of older women playing poker all of them also have sizable bushy handlebar mustaches
sounds weird right no one is sure what burger king's logic was when they came up with this
commercial back in the 90s were they implying that the western whopper would make tough masculine
cowboys out of everyone including the women who took a bite uh you tell me whatever burger king's
reasoning it seems that burger king customers didn't buy it the western whopper was eventually
discontinued as a menu item and now only exists as a special order satisfies are you satisfied
healthy living and healthy eating have definitely become a growing industry that only seems to
be getting bigger but now and then most people need to indulge when you need to break all the
rules and enjoy something decadent and satisfying that's usually when you go to a fast food chain
like burger king but maybe it doesn't have to be that way in 2013 burger king thought they would
give healthy menu items a shot i'm going to use low-fat ingredients game changer they came up with
satisfies which were marketed as better for you than regular french fries satisfies of course was
a total misnomer no one found them satisfying and the fries became a big joke online in the
end they weren't that much healthier than the real deal either after a short run burger king realized
their mistake and retired satisfies halloween whopper oh my god brian you were right halloween
is the best we are looking at a partially eclipsed moon only a tiny sliver is visible amidst the
darkness but as we get closer and closer we see that we are looking at an enormous whopper with
a gigantic black bun this is the ad for the now discontinued halloween whopper released by burger
king back in 2015 which was the subject of a lot of hype when it was first released but there was
one major problem with the black burger bun it turned your poop green the hashtag green poop
started trending on twitter and facebook after the burger's release hardly the kind of publicity
burger king needed the halloween whopper has since been discontinued there's not really any question
as to why is there shake them up fries come on shake it up shake it in the commercial
for shake em up fries starts with a burger king outlet shaking back and forth like an earthquake
inside we see groups of kids doing a harlem shake type dance with burger king takeaway bags in their
hands we hear a narrator saying there's something new shaking at burger king introducing shake em up
fries the concept for shake em up fries was pretty simple you're given the fries and then you're
given a separate packet with powdered cheese which you can mix with the fries yourself i love it
it is simply awesome that sounds like a fun idea right but it didn't catch on and burger
king eventually gave up on the idea how sad is that craving another video just tap or click hit
