Burger King Releases Meat-Scented Body Spray

[bassrique]

Nothing says romance more than the smell of a greasy flame-broiled burger.

This must be a very expensive publicity stunt, but Burger King is actually selling a body spray that smells like a Whopper. I can come up with several risque/fat jokes, but will refrain. Here's the BK website with the story from the Guardian that follows.

A tasty little present for men - Burger King body spray

* Hadley Freeman
* The Guardian, Wednesday 17 December 2008

Still can't think what to get him for Christmas? Socks don't seem to cut it any more? Fret no longer because Burger King is here to help.

The mass purveyor of grilled meat is offering, for a limited time, something even better than their usual piles of beef patties. This week, American men were given the chance to smell like their favourite meat snack with the launch of Flame, Burger King's contribution to the perfume market.

The company describes Flame as "the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat".

Astonishingly, this elixir costs a mere $3.99 (£2.65). By contrast, one of its competitors, Chanel No 5, for example, costs more than $80.

Flame, a body spray for men, was launched this week online and in a selection of US stores, the list of which can be found on the perfume's website, which is named, appropriately, firemeetsdesire.com.

There, prospective buyers are greeted with what sounds like a melange of Barry White music and an interactive spray can which does not, disappointingly, emit a ray of French fries but morphs into a photograph of scented candles.

Burger King - or "the King" as the company's website refers to it - is not the only celebrity perfume on the market this Christmas.

Kate Moss, for one, will no doubt be putting up a stern fight with her Velvet Hour scent. But the model will surely struggle against a fragrance that has such a noble history: "The Whopper sandwich is America's favourite burger," the website boasts.

"Flame by BK captures the essence of that love and gives it to you. Behold ... now you can set the mood for whatever you're in the mood for." As long as that mood involves meat, presumably.

I worked at a BK when I was a kid. I got to come home everynight stinking of burgers and fries. Yuk.

I am not sure I can think of anything more disgusting right off hand.

[Baryonyx]

I'll stick with the burgers, thanks!

[bassteban]

Yeah, I'm thinking this odor might attract hungry men- not that there's anything wrong w/that, mind you.

[HollowBassman]

If I had any vegan friends, they'd be getting this meat spray for Christmas.

No way dude, that's hot and sexy. You were a babe magnet and didn't even know it.

[TomBoyd]

hah that is crazy! I wonder if any other fast food places will follow suit?

Like Pizza hut having a body spray! That would be funny.

[DudeistMonk]

ROFL leave it to BK...after those video games they made (sneak king was the ****) and all those commercials with the chickens and that interactive ask the chicken to do stuff flash game...

This could go over real big in the south where BBQ = Sexy

[i_got_a_mohawk]

Of course it's cheap, it's just run off!

And a big +1 to i'll pay some interest when there's some damned bacon involved!

[HollowBassman]

Just imagine the carnage if this spray was tested on animals like some other perfumes/colognes/etc.

Surely not regular whoppers?
Anyway, I'm talking bacon as in just bacon. Just a wafting dose of that salty fatty goodness.
snifffff ahhhhhhhhhhhh

On the other hand, at a night job many moons ago I worked delivery for a place that made buffalo wings exclusively. After the shift ended I'd go right out to party completely smelling like buffalo wings. On a few occasions it actually produced results

This calls for a maki quote :

[Chriss62]

They have Bacon flavored rolling papers....although the taste just doesn't translate into smoke...
