humans we've come for your freaky float what's the magic word everyone has secrets even fast food
chains some are good some are bad and some are downright shocking here are 10 secrets burger king
doesn't want you to know no longer the number two burger chain this is a tasty burger for
many years now burger king has maintained its number two spot as the second biggest burger
chain in the u.s after mcdonald's both fast food chains started their business back in the 1950s
only a year apart and they've been fiercely competitive ever since both sell billions of
hamburgers every year and have die-hard fans across the nation and beyond but last year saw
an unfortunate turn of events for burger king when wendy's took over the number two spot in the u.s
no i'm calling my manager statistics show that burger king's sales have been declining steadily
for many years now there are several reasons for this burger king customers have begun to perceive
burger king as unhealthy and unattractive even though it is as healthy as most other fast food
chains also it seems that burger king has not done an excellent job of appealing to customers in its
recent marketing campaigns some new products like the meatless impossible whopper have also flopped
which has done little to improve their image but worst of all many fast food customers don't see
burger king as offering as much value for your money as other fast food chains like mcdonald's
and its latest nemesis wendy's the burger king mascot is creepy this king's insane so much beef
for 3.99 you're the one who's nuts it's no secret that people find the burger king mascot known as
the king creepy as hell the expression on his oversized oval face is frozen in a weird smile
that was probably intended to make him look kind benevolent or maybe friendly and approachable
but the king is none of those things instead he just looks like a serial killer from a bad
80s horror movie that you want to avoid like the plague burger king first introduced a different
version of him in the 1970s he had a smaller head and did not look as creepy then they decided to
re-introduce him in a new and improved form at the turn of the century only he was far from improved
the first commercial featuring the king was pretty weird an ordinary man wakes up from his
slumber to find the king sitting next to him in bed and staring at him in complete silence when
the silence has become totally unbearable the king wordlessly passes the man a burger king breakfast
sandwich creepy right he's no one knows what burger king was thinking when they came up with
this bizarre commercial people let burger king know that they thought the king was frightening
and weird but for reasons unknown burger king kept the king around for more than a decade until 2011
when they finally realized he was scaring children and adults alike away from the fast food chain
the world rejoiced at the disappearance of the evil king and everyone thought he was gone forever
then in 2015 burger king flipped the script burger king brought the creepy king back from
the dead in new ad campaigns just like a horror movie where the bad guy always comes back for
the sequel the mick whopper i declare this extreme burger the winner homer you've created a whopper
in many ways the mick whopper sounds like the ultimate paradox mcdonald's and burger king are
direct rivals both were launched more than 60 years ago and rose to great heights mcdonald's
became the biggest burger chain in the u.s and burger king was always trailing right behind
so naturally throughout their relationship they have competed for the number one spot
by working harder challenging each other and undermining each other whenever possible
the competition between the two mega franchises has been a little intense and not entirely
friendly at times but in 2015 burger king came up with an original idea for a truce
bk suggested that they and mcdonald's collaborate to create a limited edition hamburger called the
mick whopper that would only exist on september 21st international peace day
it was meant to be a symbolic gesture with the dual function of calming rivalries between the
two chains while at the same time showing support for the cause of world peace it seemed like a good
idea that the ceo of mcdonald's disagreed he found the whole concept distasteful and insensitive to
the real intentions of peace day which was created to strengthen the ideals of peace and non-violence
in a world where real wars rather than hamburger wars still threaten the lives of millions of
people nice try burger king better luck next time burger king will deliver food to you if you're
stuck in traffic we know you might not be thinking of burger king right now we're thinking about you
picture this there's some road work being done and you're stuck in some seriously heavy traffic
all you can see are cars stretching out into the horizon the radio is playing and you're trying to
keep yourself distracted but you're starving you have not eaten anything all day and it looks like
it will be at least another two hours before you arrive at your destination what can you do you can
order burger king burger king has a service that started in mexico city famous for its extended
traffic jams and congestion the service allows you to request burger king to deliver food directly
to your car by motorcycle cool right making bk healthier backfired there are two things i
want to do i want an american cheeseburger now one can deny that nutritional awareness is increasing
worldwide and food brands and restaurants alike are scrambling to improve the nutritional value
of their products fast food chains are feeling the heat more than anyone and desperately trying
to keep up with the changing times burger king is no exception in a recent press release the burger
chain announced a dramatic change in how they make their food i said i don't want any damn vegetables
they promise to permanently remove 120 artificial ingredients from their menu items available
around the world that sounds like great news after all who wants artificial ingredients
and their hamburgers the only problem is that by making this announcement burger king accidentally
revealed to their customers that the food they have been eating for so many years was unhealthy
this lousy press did nothing to help burger king's already declining sales and brand popularity
a marketing campaign that offended a lot of people they just want cheeseburgers and prep
school and they have forgotten about colombia it's no secret that viral marketing using social media
to spread the word about a product or service is becoming increasingly popular well sometimes these
campaigns succeed and sometimes they fail back in 2009 burger king began a campaign on facebook that
awarded a free whopper to everyone who deleted 10 people from their friends list the idea was
already pretty dark and cruel but here's the tricky part the application you had to download
to do this also notified the deleted people about what you were doing pretty awkward and rude right
lily that was rude imagine getting a message that your friend or acquaintance who you've known for
years has specifically chosen to delete eu from their facebook list just to get a free whopper
that would be extremely embarrassing for both people involved facebook management was not very
pleased when they found out about this because it violated their privacy laws ultimately they
pressured burger king to stop the campaign world's most expensive fast food burger i
prefer to eat food cooked by a proper chef you don't like people on minimum wage the average
price of a cheeseburger in the u.s is 4.49 after all it's just a meat patty a bun and cheese right
but what if you made a different type of burger with truffles specialty ham and some luxury
imported wagyu beef from japan well then you'd have the burger a special burger created by burger
king back in 2008 and released exclusively in one outlet in the city of london in the united kingdom
the burger was advertised as the world's most expensive fast food burger at the time it was
being sold for the equivalent of two hundred dollars crazy right it seems totally ridiculous
and inexplicable these burgers were criticized heavily in the media for being far too expensive
and insensitive to the financial limitations of ordinary people that said all the proceeds for
bk's the burger were directed to a uk charity called help a london child that aims to help
youth going through difficult times so burger king actually claims to have created the burger with a
good cause in mind they helped launch ellen degeneres's career and then i would take a bite
2022 is when ellen degeneres announced that she would be ending her show for good this comes after
a lot of bad publicity and allegations of a toxic work environment as a direct result or not fewer
people are watching the show and ratings have also been going down but before all that ellen
degeneres was a huge cultural phenomenon that changed how people perceive daytime tv millions
of people worldwide watched her show and most a-list hollywood celebrities made an appearance at
some point most people know a little about ellen's backstory and how she was a successful actress on
tv back in the 1990s welcome to burger king honey but few people know that burger king played a big
part in helping ellen with her first appearance on the comedy scene many years ago according to ellen
her friends always thought she was an absolute riot they begged her to do stand-up comedy in
front of a live audience the bit she chose to do in front of the live audience involved bringing
a burger king burger with her on stage while she told a funny story ellen lets the audience know
that she's hungry and begins telling the story but keeps taking bites of her burger in between
so that she never actually gets to finish her sentence people found it hilarious and voila
ellen's comedy career was born you can eat keto at bk i hear they got some tasty burgers i ain't
never had one myself how are they the ketogenic diet is a very low carb high fat diet invented
back in the 1920s to help patients who had epilepsy it started slowly gaining popularity in
the 90s and early 2000s and has exploded in the last few years experts believe this is only the
beginning the market for keto related products is expected to increase by more than 7 billion
in the next 10 years it's a real phenomenon celebrities like halle berry lebron james the
kardashians and vanessa hudgins swear by it but how do you stick to eating keto at restaurants
many people know about the keto options that they can eat at food chains like in and out where you
can get an in-and-out burger with lettuce instead of bread or at chipotle where you
can get a chipotle keto salad bowl all of these are delicious keto options that will satisfy you
and keep you coming back for more if you're like other americans you love to eat chipotle but one
secret that many fast food lovers might not know about is that you can also eat keto at burger king
how do you do that it's all about removing the carbs and non-keto-friendly condiments from the
burger king menu items a keto breakfast at burger king can include a sausage patty sandwich between
two eggs instead of bread or the bacon egg and cheese croissant which without the croissant
a keto lunch or dinner can include most whoppers or burgers without the bun and ketchup but no
onion rings chicken nuggets french fries chicken fries or sugary drinks they like to play pranks
i don't want a big flame broiled burger i wanted a lot of things in life most fans of
burger king now know that pranks and stunts are an important aspect of the food chain's general
marketing strategy especially when it comes to reaching the younger demographic of customers
one such prank pulled by burger king back in 1998 has been labeled as one of the best april fool's
day pranks ever this prank involved burger king claiming to release a left-handed whopper in a
newspaper advertisement the burger was allegedly made especially for left-handed people in america
are you kidding a demographic that includes more than 32 million citizens who should not
be ignored the left-handed whopper was supposedly made with the express intention of being easier
to eat with your left hand and the condiments were rotated 180 degrees so that they did not
spill out in the wrong direction pretty hard to believe but according to media reports more than
1 000 left-handed people requested the burger while many of their right-handed counterparts
made sure to specify that they wanted the right-handed version of the whopper no tricks here
