Burger King to go vegan

[DaveP]

(AP) - In an effort to distinguish itself from competitors, the Burger King chain will go entirely vegan starting May 1st. Low earnings in the past 3 quarters prompted the corporate change of vision, insiders say. Corporate spokesman Liz May says focusing on offering a truly healthy alternative for fast food junkies will be benificial not only for Burger King but also for society as a whole.

Burger King did an April Fools trick a few years ago (found it on an April Fools site). They said they were introducing the new left-handed Whopper for all their left handed customers. Many people were fooled and asked for one (or the right handed version) at the restaurants.

Teehee, my favorite April fools ad. joke was a few years ago by Lululemon. They took out a full page in a newspaper advertising a stylish men's unitard! The man sporting it looked HILARIOUS!

"distinguish itself from competitors"

my ideas:

crispy grasshoppers
beef tounge
brains

Meh, Anyone with a good mind refuses to eat that garbage anyway. Sure its tasty, but that's the MSG.. Monosodium Glutamate is made to enhance the flavour of food and given that fast food is flash frozen (minus Wendy's) and flash fried upon order or however it works then made to taste delicious with sodium I don't touch that... Granted, I'm also meat free for 9 years but I didn't eat ff when I DID eat meat, it's just too harmful.

** I always found the BK king dude to be THE ultimate creepy character. He's deadly though, I love him.

Very true, it's not "real" food, it's processed foods created by "food scientists" combining the perfect amount of sodium + fats + sugars.

Personally I prefer my burgers with a side of cruelty free. But that's my opinion.
