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.

“I think that there is more in the bun than A1 sauce to make it black.”
Yep, they have been busted. I guess food colouring. I want a healthier choice! ;)
How do you make black out of food coloring?

Probably colored with food-grade carbon black. Inert, and claimed to have beneficial cleansing effects by some health food types.
Like eating a laserjet toner cartridge.
Bought one for the girlfriend last night. This morning she was screaming, “ Bruce I just shit an alien.!!” I rolled over and went back to sleep.
“Wow, 2 posts in a row using the word diarrhea. I will never top that.”
You can do it! I believe in you.
Should have named it after Obama. The executive black Anus burger.

I read that a while back. Laughed my ass off, mostly because I had a very similar experience with Dilettante Sugar Free Chocolate Cherries. (They sell them at Costco at Christmastime.) I thought I was going to die. It was not a very Christmas-y experience.
