"Flame" Men's Body Spray Delivers Seductive Scent Of A Whopper

Burger King Corp. may have just the thing. The home of the Whopper has launched a new men's body spray called "Flame." The company describes the spray as "the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat."
The fragrance is on sale at New York City retailer Ricky's NYC in stores and online for a limited time for $3.99.
Burger King is marketing the product through a Web site featuring a photo of its King character reclining fireside and naked but for an animal fur strategically placed to not offend.
The marketing ploy is the latest in a string of viral ad campaigns by the company. Burger King is also in the midst of its Whopper Virgins campaign that features an taste test with fast-food "virgins" pitting the Whopper against McDonald's Corp.'s Big Mac.
Burger King Holdings Inc. shares rose 15 cents to close at $20.53.

- I do not think any guy would want the type of gal this scent would attract.

- I can''t believe anyone would buy this except as a gag gift

- P.S. If one lights a match close close to what''s left of this dreckfood after body processing & rear exhaust pressure release, a "flame" is indeed a possible result. Maybe the BK suits should highlight this option in their ad campaign :-))

- They should market fragrance of burger''s natural byproduct which smells chemical H2S and normally leaves the body through its rear exhaust. What a genius must have come with this insanity...

- I would think it would be better if they mad a fragrance for women that smelled like a whopper. Dudes cant resist that smell. You know like that one taco bell commercial...

- The Big Three automakers are forced to pay 85 to 95 percent of union wages
and benefits to members of the United Auto Workers union who aren%u2019t working
%u2013 even if their plants have been closed.%u201D
that%u2019s the contract they negotiated way back when GM caved to avoid a strike.
This one isn%u2019t purely the unions fault, the management
was idiotic to agree to a %u201Cjobs bank%u201D in the first place.
The UAW knows that if there is no bailout, they%u2019re history.
If it comes down to the union leadership figuring that they
should be making concessions, I would expect that the job bankers
would be the first thing thrown under the bus. - Reply to this comment

- I saw a clip of this perfume on the news last night and after people sniffed the cologne, they claimed it did not resemble the scent of a burger. What a waste of money...maybe good as a gag joke, but nothing more.

- This whole thing is a "tongue-in-cheek" ploy, and it is utterly ridiculous!!! That so called weirdo king is now a center-fold? Burger King needs to get a new PR firm...

- Yeah, this is news worthy. Like the King in those ads isn''t creepy enough, let''s strip him of his clothes. I don''t need to see anything strategically placed anywhere on that freakish looking thing!
I doubt this cologne is worth $3.99. Maybe they can put it in as the toy for adult sized kids'' meals. - Reply to this comment
