A Big Black Whopper
 

By now urrbody has heard about Burger King's new-for-Halloween Whopper with the black bun.

While I've read the burger is as good as a regular Whopper...It seems there is a certain side effect that no one saw coming, but, several have seen going, so to speak.

The black Whopper turns your poo Grinch-green.

There is a totally unnecessary photo at the link, be warned.

meh, so does red wine

They have?

I really can't see why this would be a seller, but....:/

They could leave the burgers uncooked but slathered in ketchup to look like a road crash victim in the black coffin

They're very unappetizing, even to normal people (to me, they look like petrified cow patties I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, but hey.) I think they were trying to go for "something so self-destructive the kids love it" like Taco Bell's Dorito-shell tacos, but it's not going well so far.

Radioactive Poo.

No worse for you than the stuff that comes home in the trick or treat bags. :greenface

I don't eat BK normally...this isn't going to make me run back to them.

It's an American take on a popular item in Japan, but in Japan, the buns are colored with squid ink.

♫ Squid Ink, Squid Ink, SquidInk SquidInk SquidInk, Squuuiiid Innnnnnk. ♪ ♪ :haha:

Yebbut, those squid(s) are porn stars.

pink panther tune?

Yes.

I showed this to my sister, and she said she wants to try it. :sick:

Check her poop, Check her poop, Check her Check her, Check her poop. :cheerldr:

Does she like black buns?

I don't think she's tried it. I may have to buy it for her. :p:

Talking poop (we were, we've drifted) Mum's was bright green after her operation.
She didn't show me, but boy did she tell me. And everyone else who called/ visited.
She was expecting blue urine - which she got - but not radioactive poop.

I looked it up on the internet for her, as reassurance.
It's apparently quite a common after-effect.

I wonder why they didn't bother telling her? She got the blue urine advice from a fellow-sufferer. Do they really want people tying up the switchboard with questions? I know it doesn't happen to everyone, but as it's a harmless possibility I would think it was worth mentioning. Huh. Public health, eh? At least she wasn't left with a huge bill.

Maybe they did tell her and she just missed it in the whirlwind or pre-op info -perhaps because it sounded unlikely/unimportant. They inject blue dye to see if /where the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.

See if it was me, I'd completely accept that. But Mum has a gin-trap mind for that kind of information. Which works well on Dad's behalf, as obviously he can't remember anything these days.

As I say, she was completely prepared for the blue urine thanks to Maureen. They may even have mentioned that to her (after Maureen told her.) But she was genuinely concerned about the poop colour. I suppose it is possible; no-one is infallible. I was pleased it was one of the little things I could do to help though.

For Halloween, Burger King, Black Whopper, and green Poop.

that's imaginitive

Yes its totally disgusting :D

I would not ever eat it! -- Everything BK has is tasteless crap!!

If you've not eaten it, how do you know? And, if the things you ate were tasteless crap, why did you continue, and eat "everything BK has"?

To be fair to Dude, I would agree that everything BK sells is tasteless crap.

But in light of your response I would write, "Everything I've ever eaten at the court of the Burger King has disppointed me, forsooth. But sometimes when needs must, I try to put aside my prior reckoning and eat again in hope that I was in error. Sadly, this has never been my experience. So I say to thee again, everything BK sells is tastless crap."

:p:

McDs shits all over the king of burgers.



Make of that what you will.

Put the crap cheeseburger down. Step away from the crap cheeseburger.

But what if I really like the crap cheeseburger?

The double Whopper with Cheese is NOT tasteless. It's damn good. They put tomato and mayo and ketchup on there, which is a magical combo on a burger. McD's Royale (double quarter pounder) with Cheese is also very good, but in a much simpler and tidier way. I haven't had either in years, and never one outside the US, but tasteless is not an adjective you could apply to either. if for no other reason than the amount of salt involved

:p:
