Apparently Burger King will be serving up "unhappy meals" in select cities this month to "raise awareness of mental health issues." www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/burger-king-takes-mcdonald-s-range-unhappy-meals-n1001096If it were all fun and games, I might be able to get on board with it, but given the purpose of this promotion, it seems counter-productive to me. If I were BK's CEO, I'm pretty sure I would not have approved putting "Pissed Meal" on the menu, even for one day. How do you guys feel about it? Would you be okay taking your kids to get a "DGAF Meal"? |

I love when I read a whole article about food out to find out it's not being served in my area.
I don't like BK, but would try a Pissed Meal just to see if it made a difference.

Last world cup in Russia they advertised to all Russian women that if they get impregnated by any football player in the WC they will be given lifetime supply of BK whoppers. Sometime back they made fun of a rape victim in their advertisement and drew a lot of criticism. Just strange that they seem to have a weird marketing team.

"Unhappy Meals" was part of the Invention Exchange in season four of Mystery Science Theater 3000, way back in the 90's. The episode was "The Day the Earth Froze", my favorite one.
