Burger King Wants McDonald’s Help to Make the ‘McWhopper’: All For The Sake Of World Peace
TIME ^ | 08/26/2015 | Jon Chew

Posted on 08/26/2015 2:55:31 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Burger King has offered McDonald’s a golden opportunity to come together and make one burger to rule them all — in the name of world peace, of course.

In full-page ads running Wednesday in The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune – the hometown paper of the Illinois-based McDonald’s – the fast-food chain is proposing the “McWhopper,” a hybrid of each company’s signature Big Mac and Whopper burgers that will be sold for one day in one pop-up store in one city.

That city, Burger King is proposing, would be Atlanta, a meeting point between both company’s headquarters. The marketing stunt would be held on Sept. 21, with proceeds benefiting the anti-conflict nonprofit Peace One Day.

Burger King has also set up a website listing out its proposal, even suggesting a recipe for the new hybrid burger: it will contain six ingredients from the Big Mac (like cheese and special sauce) and six from the Whopper (like the flame-grilled patty and onions).

McDonald’s responded on Facebook Wednesday morning:

Dear Burger King,

Inspiration for a good cause… great idea.

We love the intention but think our two brands could do something bigger to make a difference.

We commit to raise awareness worldwide, perhaps you’ll join us in a meaningful global effort?

And every day, let’s acknowledge that between us there is simply a friendly business competition and certainly not the unequaled circumstances of the real pain and suffering of war.

We’ll be in touch.

-Steve, McDonald’s CEO

P.S. A simple phone call will do next time.

Wendy's should join in with their "Baconator".

They can call the new burger the "McWoppernator"

Ever seen the video of the Burger King in the ghetto where they say they are going to quit selling whoppers?

I don’t know how to post a link or I would.

NSFW bad language but funny as can be.

I’d rather a few major defense contractors came up with a “McWhopper”. Maybe combine characteristics of the Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb (MOAB) and cluster bombs. Serve them in Iran, North Korea, Somalia and a couple other places like that for a couple weeks.

Are you eating HORSE?

Researchers find 20 per cent of samples of ‘ground beef’ sold in the US contain the illegal meat

Out of 48 samples of meat studied, 9 had additional animal included

Horse meat, which is illegal to sell in the US, was detected in 2 samples

This may have been down to cross-contamination at processing facility

Lower-cost meat may be intentionally mixed to make a bigger profit

Other meats discovered in research included beaver and guinea fowl
