MIAMI You dont have to go to Japan to try Burger Kings 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 its not just the color, insists Burger King. Its also the flavor, with A.1. sauce baked into the bun. According to Burger King, its 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 burgers 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 Wendys, 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.

Same for McDonalds. "Hey! Our breakfast sandwiches still taste good. Let's sell them all day long."
Nothing but gimmicks.
I guess I’ll never know how they affect me.
I’ll have to try it again to give a better assessment. I was still getting over the stomach stuff so I might not have enjoyed it as much as I could have. It wasn’t bad, though. I didn’t notice much difference between it and the regular whopper, but I’ll give it one more shot.
Vegan or anti-BK?
I’m sure there are FB posts out there with such.
Green poop? Now I want one! (-:
WOOOOAH! Like WAAAY too much information here!
POOP - People Order Our Patties
Mystery solved.

LOL............
So its turn you poop green?
You know the first entrepreneur that makes a food or food additives that makes your poop “Rainbow Colored” will make a fortune selling it to Gays...
What do they do about that word in Spanish?
I guess the ol’ espanyol is “racist”.
So many ways to extend your joke... but I’m not going there.
I think that there is more in the bun than A1 sauce to make it black.
I like the word myself. Fun to say it the Spanish way.
Urine also turns red.
Who wants these mass produced machine made burgers, when the real thing is readily available?
I used food coloring on hardboiled eggs to make black and gold deviled eggs the last time the Steelers went to the Superbowl. There were similar side effects.
