Burger King's Pride Whopper Has Seriously Divided People did a double check to see if real

I don’t get it. It offers nothing. Just an improperly put together burger. If anything it’s an insult.

The last multiple times I've had to have a fast burger, it was basically burger salad: halfway thrown together and flattened.

Apparently some marketer said "Hey let's make this mess into a feature!".

Wouldn't it be nice if they just sold hamburgers?
I don't want my burger to be straight, gay or bi...
I also don't want my meal served with a side of agenda or a super sized message.

We thought we dealt with racism and it turns out it wasn't enough and the subject won't die.

We're stuck with this sh*t. Nothing ever goes away.

Do we really need to jump on this supposed inclusion band wagon? Or is it just reallly a bunch of virtue signaling? You know, because Burger King cares so much about inclusion……just like politicians do and Hollywood actors.

I prescribe the best way to get something to be accepted as normal, is to let it fade into the background where normal exists.

We have become too cynical, once something is promoted enough we have disdain for it. Anything corporate and eve Rah Rah BS is shunned and ridiculed by a significant segment. Probably rightfully so, checks and balances.

When will the LGBTQ community be accepted as normal? When the LGBTQ community decides it doesn't need this extra awareness. Already the tolerant have accepted and the rest will just have to wait for them to expire, and slowly it will it change. It doesn't have to divide anybody, which may bring up the larger point.

We are in the disdain phase.

It's so obnoxiously annoying and in your face. How can you not help but feel disdain? Black History Month is less annoying.

They should bring back their original french fry recipe.

No one goes to get "fast food" with healthy in mind... So just stop with the nonsense already.

People want a big greasy burger, and they go to places to get it; If they can't get it from a national chain restaurant? They'll get it from somewhere else, making room for even more competition.

A big greasy burger is just as American as Hot Dogs on the 4th of July and apple pies cooling on the windowsill.

Fat shaming? Pffft that's not fat... That's freedom. The shame is when "laws" say you can't have a big greasy burger... aka Not freedom.

The end

I almost never do what my food tells me to do anyway, especially Burger King whoppers...


HOWEVER, there was a time a burger in Jacksonville Florida told me I shouldn't get married so young and that burger was probably right.

You want nice and greasy? We have a little butcher shop that makes wagyu jerky. Oh, now that's some nice stuff, and the grease on your hands when you're done ... the mouth feel when you eat it ... it is sublime.

Their logo should be:

Pride burger-anything to make another buck.

You can have two bottomS, two tops, a wiener in your bun, you can give it any pronoun you want and if the lettuce offends your feelings, we will take it off for you. So simple even a pregnant man can enjoy it.

They could have just put dehydrated onions and Thousand Island dressing on it and said it was now a gay burger. But some Karen/Kevin’s would have dropped a deuce.

A box of mini corn dogs. A “different burger” and limited time promo. And for the triple shot…child grooming accusation to get the buzz going.

Not a fan of most of these food promotional woke crap or promotions in general. We had the spooky Whopper, the angry Whooper, and now the "Pride" whopper. Most times it means they have a surplus of whopper patties in the freezer they need to get rid of.

In not against the thought or anything "but", I don't know if it's wise in some Burger Kings to let those making your "Pride" whopper where exactly you stand on this issue. You might find a little something extra in between your buns.

It's like cereal companies advertising to kids their sugar cereals on Saturday morning in the 70s. Or the smoking is cool in the 50's and 60's.

Now you ain't woke till you had our overly processed chemical full "Pride" whopper put together by some angst and angry filled teenager

The Pride Whopper is just like a standard Whopper, however, the filling is sandwiched between two identical buns.

Sharing the news on its Instagram account, the fast food giant wrote: "May we introduce The Pride WHOPPER.

"With two equal buns for equal love and equal rights.

"We set an example for the equality of all identities and sexual orientations.

"A little twist meant to put a smile on our faces and remind us to treat each other with respect and peace.

"No matter who you are and who you love. #TimeToBeProud.

"The Pride WHOPPER is now open until June 20th. available in all restaurants! How are you celebrating Pride this year?"

But while a few have welcomed the promotion, others have been less than impressed, with many left thinking it was a joke.

Writing on social media, one critic said: "Who approved this?"

Two words: rainbow capitalism

Why is burger king living in a binary world. Your choice is top or bottom bun. Since I'm all about nonbinary I refuse to order them.

So does this mean the regular whopper was for straight people?

Are gay people taste buds different?

Can I try a gay burger without catching the gay?

You're right. Shouldn't there be a bun in the middle ... or maybe 57 buns?

Actual gay people should be offended by a company wasting resources to virtual signal at the same time making vague sexual innuendo about their products.

"Umm yeah I'll have the double bottom whopper, hold the pickle, with extra mayonnaise."

It's almost like living inside a bad SNL skit...

This campaign could cover all of them.

Definitely lust, gluttony, greed, and pride.
Sloth if one counts the drive-thru.
And envy & wrath against their competitors!

Only 5% of the population identify as LGBTQ+, the type of people that support them are generally vegetarian.

I'll bet you right now this goes down as their least popular item, still checks a box in the inclusivity chart.

Remember the good old days when marketing was about making money?

Oh you mean that sort of acidic stab at the back of the jaw line right above taking the pulse area just by thinking about it good?

I had some spicy(scoville scale schmoville scale) spare ribs from a corner restaurant that were like a week on the rack all bbq and honey glazed on a stick kinda reminds me of what you're talking about one bite and it's like having an inch thick of can't get it off the teeth stuck there... and why bother trying? As there's more ribs to go.

Although that's probably not what you mean...

This may fall into the is it racist? Category but in all my Asian restaurant trips never ever ever have I heard an order for anything other than fried shrimp or fried chicken... missing out on some other fine cuisine is all I really have to say about it.

Oh not to mention that last batch of soy sauce for export was like a fine wine... I mean so good I could have drank an entire glass of it.
