Do You Want Fries With That?

How to lose friends and influence burgers - a Facebook experiment.

January 8th, 2009

We were stunned when Burger King's Flame fragrance sold out of every store in America, but maybe we shouldn't have been - after pulling off stunts like the Subservient Chicken and commercials where burger "children" shout "I wish I'd never been broiled," it's not surprising that the BK hype team is on top of its game.

Now comes their latest - and maybe best - viral play: a new Facebook application called Whopper Sacrifice, with simple yet sinister rules. Pick ten of your friends to expunge from your list, and BK will mail you a gift certificate for a free Whopper.

The best part? When you kick your annoying co-worker / ex girlfriend / sophomore year lab partner off your list, a memo gets send to them showing their photo going up in flames.

Sure it's brutal, but hey - they'll understand. You've gotta eat, right?

Wow, that's terrible. Giving a free burger certificate to someone is like telling them they're fat. That perfume stuff is funny. I really thought it was a joke. Guess not.
