MIAMI — You don’t have to go to Japan to try Burger King’s black-bunned Whopper.
Burger King is bringing it to the U.S. just in time for Halloween.
“Something wicked is coming,” the burger chain on Twitter, with a brief promo video featuring thunder and lightning and a lunar eclipse, with a burger standing in for the moon.
But it’s not just the color, insists Burger King. It’s also the flavor, with A.1. sauce baked into the bun. According to Burger King, it’s the sauce that turns the buns black.
“While the pitch-black bun gives the Halloween Whopper sandwich a look that may make some think ‘hmmmmm?’ the burger’s classic A.1. flavors will have tasters saying ‘mmmmm,'” Burger King said.
Burger King has been selling colored Whoppers in Japan. As part of a summertime promotion, the chain sold “samurai burgers” with red or black buns.
In the U.S., the black Whopper has 710 calories, 43 grams of fat and 1.5 grams of trans fat. That makes the nonblack Whopper look relatively slim, with its 650 calories, 37 grams of fat and 1.5 grams of trans fat.
The black-bunned Whopper is only the latest of a series of experiments that Burger King is conducting. It recently launched a “burger merger” with several other burger chains, including Wendy’s, to create hybrids of their rival burgers.
While the Whopper looks appetizing, it appears to have some unpleasant residual effects in the toilet. People have been taking to Twitter to say the black bun is turning their poop green.

Had one of these the other day. Mystery solved.
They can re-introduce it for St. Paddy’s...
LOL! A bun for all seasons.

This cannot be healthy.
I hear the ink used to dye the buns can cause GI distress and uncontrollable diarrhea in some people.
Actually I just made that up.
And if you eat beets it turns your poop red
dark color cake icing has the same effect...
lol...I had some kind of food poisoning the other day. But I ate the BK burger after that.
Whoppers of color.
Yes...and one of the off brand fruit loops.
Remeber Shamrock shakes? They gave my little brother green diarrhea.
Wow, 2 posts in a row using the word diarrhea. I will never top that.
I guess “negro whoppers” is no longer appropriate. Hard to keep up.
I am only surprised that Twitter hasn’t been swamped with pictures of green poo. That place is a cesspool.

How was it?
I hope you never have reason to!
