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 thought by now there would be an app for that.

Someone gets too close to you, your social-distancing app goes off with a loud alarm.

A lot of innocent trees are ‘going to the slaughterhouse’ over a sight gag. Oh well. Somebody got paid to design, print ,assemble and distribute those things.

“Making people wear..”

Is the Burger King declaring it so?
Were they holding people on the ground and forcing these on their heads? LOL.

Or is the headline worded that way for dramatic effect.

Not a slam at you JAllen...but sometime people just use words that generate a response.

I like it. Too bad their burgers are quite inedible.

And yes, I do realize it’s a joke.

The photo is a PR stunt.

The hats are ridiculous, impractical, cumbersome, and relatively costly. Imagine people moving around in the restaurant or trying to get out the door. Do they give you the hat BEFORE you enter the restaurant?

Planting a photo online is cheap advertising.

Someone at BK has a sense of humor.

About 15 years ago, I was traveling through the (IIRC) Portland Airport, and I was hungry for some lunch.

While in line for the Burger King, I watched the fry cook clean his ear with his little finger, examine the result, and then return to his spatula work.

I left without ordering, and I've never considered eating at a Burger King again.

So I punch in a request on my iPhone as to where the nearest gas station is and it comes back with “There are two Taco Bell’s within three miles of your location”
