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.

Brilliant marketing but not moral at all.
Hi, I’d like a “you’re a dumb sumbiotch meal” please.
Hi, I’d like a “you could stand to lose 80lbs meal” please.
This must be a parody.
Mom: Can I pick you up something at Burger King son?
Son: Don’t Give a F***
Mom: Don’t use that tone with me young man
I think it will backfire.
Any guy taking any of the amgry meals back to the office will have snowflakes there filing hostile workplace complaimts with HR.
“abandoned regular fries cooked in animal fat.
What a bunch of idiots!”
The entire quick-service food industry reacted this way. McDonalds switched from beef tallow about 30 years ago.
Can you imagine going into BK with your young kids and the person ahead of you orders a “I don’t give a F*ck with a pepsi”?
Five Guys uses peanut oil.
A big dose of malt vinegar
makes for good fries. And
that is fortunate because
they charge a lot for them
and give you more than you
can eat.
It probably already happens in Oakland.
Rallys has the best fries now.
It’s the creepy Uncle Joe commercial.
yep
It WAS a genius marketing ploy. Think about it.
The entire country was up in arms DEMANDING the return of their signature product.

And that, unfortunately, is EXACTLY what the West has been doing for some time now. Much to my surprise and alarm.
And the speed seems to be accelerating.
I think we got a tiny bit of reprieve with President Trump.
That being said, isn’t BK owned by a French company? (still?)
They got sold some time back. Hence the super-creepy version of “the king”.
That’s what I thought too.
Else, it’s the West in the University of West Virginia.
Somebody on Burger King’s board of directors has a screw loose. First with the vegetarian hamburger, an idea that was tried and failed with Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) in other chains in the 1970s, because of high beef prices.
Now they are coming out with this nonsense.
Burger King is owned by 3G Capital, which is a Brazilian-American multibillion-dollar investment firm, and managed through Restaurant Brands International.
I wonder if it will go the way of Burger Chef, that at one point was #2 behind McDonald’s, before being bought out and ruined.
ketchup?
better off buying bag of frozen fries and onion rings. Bake the in your oven.
Mmm...that's a tasty burger!
Love thatmovie. Watch it once a year. Never laid off, but could equate with that guy in many ways - especially the Smiling Stonewall routine by the kid behind the counter.
Same here (with cheese, requested "melted"), but their Whopper Jr. coupons come with fries, which aren't terrible.
In my little burg, they've closed two, and rebuilt a new one across the street from the old one.
Neither were heavily visited—which is too bad.
