Burger King launches a burger for six to share
« on: May 22, 2008, 10:02:37 pm »
[Burger King is rolling out what it claims to be the first burger made for sharing across its three biggest European territories, in an attempt to take on the pizza market.

The 6 Pack, which costs £4.49 on its own or £5.69 as part of a meal, comprises one big Aberdeen Angus patty inside six rolls, stuck together to allow consumers to tear off portions. In one pair of rolls the burger is topped with ketchup, the second has a cheese topping, and the third bacon and cheese.]

The greedy burger in me wants one all for myself!

How very odd. Why can't they bring back mushroom double swiss instead? :P

That was my favourite too Chocadmin!  Very odd indeed - why would anyone want to rip a burger apart instead of having their own one?  Sounds messy to me.

Oh God! Did you all love that one too!?? I ADORED THAT ONE.
No chips, just 2 BKs - 1 mushroom double swiss and a bacon double cheeseburger. <Drool emoticon>
Start a petition?

Yeah a petition to bring back the mushroom goodness would be welcome. I suspect it was that bit more expensive to make so cut into BK's margins :(
While we're at it how about a petition for McRib's (or am I the only one who likes them?)

Sounds like the six to share is just a way of getting the fatties even fatter.

Yeah, I bet a hell of a lot of people won't be sharing it at all.

I resisted the temptation yesterday. To be fair they are very small buns.
They do a double version for kids too.

I've seen the ad and apparently they are mini burgers - I don't think six people could share them. Three people with two each maybe.
