Hamburglar for the steal!

The Hamburglar goes for the steal:

Not that Hamburglar ... but another pair of wannabe Hamburglars tried to rob a Burger King in Stockton, CA.  Unfortunately for them, one employee in the back of the restaurant saw that the Hamburglars' kept the motor going in their getaway car.  He decided to hop outside and then drive off with their getaway car.

The suspects were apprehended and arrested thanks to that Burger King employee's quick thinking and action. Good job Burger King employee!

The Hamburglar is in no danger of losing his job at this time.

Burger King launches new McRip-off sandwich this summer!

Well now it's on.  

In the ongoing battle between good and evil: McDonald's vs. Burger King< BK has decided it's time to up the stakes and revealed plans for their own McRip-off McRib sandwich this summer. Take a look!

Yes! the battle has gone up a notch.  Now BK is trampling upon the hollowed ground of the all mighty McRib!  This cannot be tolerated!

I don't know if I'm the only one noticing but ever since the summer when BK decided that selling ribs in a foil wrap type paper was a good idea...they've been going through an identity crisis.  Oh don't remember the ribs?  Here's proof:

I haven't gone to Burger King in at least a year, but every time I see a commercial, coupon or pass by one, there seems to be a new gimmick that they are trying out.  Well here they go again.

 

The problem BK is that McDonald's has spent years building their McRib up into an event every year when they bring it out.  That's why it does big numbers every year.  I understand the desire of making your own, but really if you're a McRib person it's not like you are looking for another fast food rib sandwich, you're just waiting for your fall/winter tradition to just be part of the excitement of having a McRib.  Over the last few years, BK has been about short term gimmicks that do not build to such an "event" feel.  Good try BK hope it works for you.  I'll be waiting for the winter.

COMMERCIAL BREAK - Burger King Burger Bundles

From time to time, my mind pops up the most random crap.  It's rainy outside and I'm tired...so....I think of Burger King...I think of their old Burger Bundles.  What?! You don't remember Burger Bundles?!  How about Burger Buddies?!  No?! Well, then I present to you Living on a Bun's very first commercial break roll it:

When these debuted, I was the perfect age and size for these fantastic mini burgers.  A couple years ago BK brought back their mini burgers but now dubbed BK Burger Shots because they're street now...whatever!

Here's a bonus Breakfast Buddies commercial and why yes that is Evander Holyfield!

Burger Bundles and Burger Buddies will live on in my heart and this commercial break!  Back when Burger King knew what they were doing!

Here's some wonderful wrapper footage!
