Burger King's Bacon Sundae is the Best Idea Ever
Yahoo News - "Would you buy a bacon sundae? Burger King is betting you will.The fast-food chain famous for the Whopper will introduce the limited-time dessert on Thursday as part of its new summer menu. The 510-calorie sundae—vanilla soft serve topped with fudge, caramel, bacon crumbles and a piece of bacon—has 18 grams of fat and 61 grams of sugar."
Now this is what I'm talking about BK Lounge!! This is how you step your game up and get people in the doors! Sure, you're killing your customers with ice cream topped bacon once they walk in those doors, but who cares? This is America, damnit!!
A few months ago, we told you how we hated Burger King's new healthy, boring, awful menu options. Let me quote from that piece:
"If Burger King wanted to make some noise and get noticed, they’d be smart to embrace the fact that they’re a fast food restaurant, and fast food is disgusting. But that’s OK! We love it when people make sandwiches with chicken bread and tacos with chip shells."
So do I get a cut from the soon to be massive sales from the bacon sundae since I basically came up with the idea for it? Shock people with your fast food offerings, that's how you get noticed. Just look at twitter today, and you'll see hundreds of thousands of people talking about the bacon sundae.
Sure, some of the people have negative things to say, but unlike the boring-ass health food launch, people actually know this is happening. Here's my personal favorite.
Burger King introduces the bacon sundae. Not to be outdone, Mcdonald's introduces shooting you in the face.— Robin McCauley (@RobinMcCauley) June 13, 2012
