“Star Wars has shaped generations of fans, and as we head into the release of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, we saw an opportunity to bring that excitement straight into our restaurants,” said Joel Yashinsky, Chief Marketing Officer of Burger King U.S. & Canada. “From themed packaging to bold, flavor-forward menu items, this is our way of celebrating an iconic new film with the iconic flame-grilled taste only Burger King can deliver.”
The Jr. Meals will be available beginning on April 28th, and the other items will appropriately be released on May the Fourth. Both are only available for a limited time.
While most Kids Meals are for kids, Burger King created one for Millennials to feel like kids again. How? They have eight toys from their childhood in each box. Each King Jr’s Kid Meals box comes with a Transformer, a Furby, a My Little Pony, or a Nerf toy.
I might not be a kid anymore, but I want those Furby toys. How cute are they? Actually, they are all adorable. Which one do you want?
On Friday, I posted a photo of the Burger King King looking like he was fired as their mascot after 21 years. Yesterday, BK’s President, Tom Curtis, confirmed that the creepy alliteration was no longer part of the company he has been with since 2004.
So who is the new Burger King? I am! You are! And everyone else is! But him. The Home of the Whopper has a new campaign, and it is “There’s A New King, and It’s You.”
“When creating ‘There’s a new king, and it’s you’ we knew for sure: this can’t just be another ad campaign. It needs to document the real, years long, story of co-creating the future of Burger King with Guests.” said Matt McNulty, EVP and Ben Pfutzenreuter, Executive Creative Director of OKRP. “Whether that’s giving out the President’s phone number so guests could call him directly, innovating new packaging, processes, or even just better mayo based on their feedback, telling that story had to feel real, transparent, and human. Because it is.”
Slowly, they are bringing Burger King back to its former glory. Therefore, they changed up the Whopper’s bun, and it now comes in a box instead of being wrapped. They are also working on the fries. And this is just the beginning of the changes to make it better. If you have any more ideas, text or call Curtis at (305) 874-0520.
To me, firing the King was the best thing he ever could have done because he was more suited for a Horror movie than commercials during them. Now, I won’t be having any more nightmares about him.
About a month ago, Burger King’s President, Tom Curtis, gave out his phone number, (305) 874-0520, and asked us to tell him what changes we think he can make to the burger joint.
So far, he has made changes to the Whopper and is working on the fries. And now, it looks like he is cleaning house.
The Burger King was seen outside the office building, sitting on the curb, looking sad, with a box of his office knick-knacks beside him.
So, has Curtis heard our complaints about how scary the mascot is, and fired him like they flame-grill their Whoppers? We don’t because there was no caption with the photo.
I thought I would be happy when this day finally came because he has given me plenty of nightmares. But because he looks so sad, it makes me sad. And I hope he gets his job back. Long live the Burger King.
About a month ago, Burger King president Tom Curtis gave out his phone number, (305) 874-0520, and asked people to call and text him with their ideas on how to improve the fast food restaurant.
Well, he has been listening. So far, he has improved the taste of the Whopper’s bun and mayonnaise. But that was not all. He also took it out of the wrapper and put it in a box.
That was the first change. Now, he is working with the new culinary chef on the fries and trying to make them as delicious as they were in the ’90s.
I forgot how good they were until he mentioned that.
What do you want the corporate King to do better or bring back?
