No one is happy all the time. That’s the message Burger King is trying to communicate with a lineup of burger meals focused on “real” moods to help raise awareness about mental health.

Timed to Mental Health Awareness Month in May, the “Real Meals” include the Blue Meal, Salty Meal, Yaaas Meal and DGAF (Don’t Give a F---) Meal. They include a Whopper, french fries and a drink.

“Burger King restaurants understands that no one is happy all the time. That’s why they’re asking guests to order a Whopper meal based on however they might be feeling,” an online release says.

How about the “I’m angry enough to shoot whoever screws up my order” meal?

They need a new ad agency. They always want to wade into social issues like they did with the “pay gap.” Sell your crap food to anyone and everyone and stop with the social justice crap.

This will go over about as well as when they went to battered fries cooked in battery acid and abandoned regular fries cooked in animal fat.

What a bunch of idiots!

See? It’s all good when you wake up and there’s a strange man in your bed staring at you. He brought you a breakfast sandwich.

Didn’t they have a “rainbow” burger a few years ago?

Stupidity seems to be their central motto.

Yeah, I forgot about that. Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce. Anal sex does not upset us.

Burger King has the most disgusting fries and onion rings(if they still sell them).

Their original chicken sandwich is also disgusting.

The only thing I eat there is the Whopper Jr.

Seriously?!?!

These nitwits make the New Coke campaign look like a genius marketing ploy.

It WAS a genius marketing ploy. Think about it.

The entire country was up in arms DEMANDING the return of their signature product.
