Burger King Makes People Wear Massive Crowns As Part of New Social Distancing Rule

Burger King is in full-on preparation mode, getting ready for the inevitable day when economies around the world begin to reopen in a post-coronavirus world. One of those preparations include the introduction of massive paper crowns, big enough that it forces customers in the restaurant to stay six feet apart – the new norm experts say is most effective in helping stamp out the further spread of COVID-19. Currently, Burger King is testing the paper crowns in Germany, a country where the chain has approximately 700 locations.

According to one Burger King spokesperson, the company is working on coming up with innovative ways for consumers to have a little fun in an otherwise bleak time. "We wanted to reinforce the rules of high safety and hygiene standards that the BK restaurants are following," the spokesperson tells Business Insider. "The do-it-yourself social-distance crown was a fun and playful way to remind our guests to practice social distancing while they are enjoying food in the restaurants."

The chain has since uploaded a picture of the massive crowns to their Twitter feed.

I have to believe BK is pranking people and a lot of people won't get the joke.

I can just imagine them insisting that Quanisha and Tonisha
put those silly giant paper Sombreros on when the girls are not in the mood to play games.
“You want me to do WHAT???”

The King is creepy but not as creepy as Ronald.

I knew Ronald McDonald. Ronald McDonald was a friend of mine. The King is no Ronald McDonald.

I expected to see this in relation to a Mexican restaurant.

It is real. It’s been all over the news here the last few days.

Maybe it’s a clever marketing trick; but I can’t imagine needing to go to a restaurant or bar that badly.

I’m with the sisters on this one, Lee. If BK thinks I’m going to wear some silly-assed paper crown, they can stuff their Whopper where the sun don’t shine. This infantilism has gone on too long and too far.
