Whopper Sacrifice: Ditch 10 Friends, Get a Free Whopper Eick January 7, 2009 Burgers, Fast Food, Marketing 157 Comments The Burger King secret menu is now out: http://secretmenus.com/burger-king/secret-menu As I noted in my post below, Burger King has just unveiled their new Angry Whopper. As many companies are now doing, they’ve tapped into Facebook and created an application to help promote it. But this Facebook application is a bit….different. Instead of encouraging you to join a group, find new friends, or spread the word, Burger King is allowing you to ditch some Facebook friends by offering their new Whopper Sacrifice Application which rewards you with a free Whopper if you DE-FRIEND 10 people from your friend list. As Platforms Optional notes, normally when you de-friend someone they may not even notice. Not the case with Whopper Sacrifice. Part of the application makes sure that each of the 10 friends you choose to ditch get announcements alerting them to the fact that they have been de-friended. Brutal, bold, and frankly, pretty awesome. Whopper Sacrifice website.

Admittedly, it’s better than most burgers, but I wouldn’t equate it in value with dumping 10 friends. Reply Dora January 7th, 2009 ooooh how I love the BK….this just may be worth it 😀 Reply K January 7th, 2009 Burgers are nasty anyway, so why not be nasty when advertising them? Reply Dan January 8th, 2009 I have to think about whether I have 10 friends on Facebook I could stand to lose. Definitely have at least a few… but I don’t know whether I really want a whopper that badly. Reply bryce January 8th, 2009 already did it, had no trouble deleting people from high school i didn’t really know/like in the first place, and i get a free burger in 2-4 weeks. Reply Chris Brown January 8th, 2009 I need to add a few friends back who I’ve silently ditched, so that I can ditch them again to get the whopper. Reply Lulz January 8th, 2009 Facebook sucks anyway Reply MBase January 8th, 2009 I don’t have a Facebook since I hate all those sites. However…. I may just make one long enough for all of my friends to freak out and think I changed my mind just to de-friend them and get a burger. Reply David Knapik January 8th, 2009 Hahaha, this is so awesome. It’s not about whether the burger is as valuable as 10 friends. It’s about whether or not you have 10 people in your friend list who are so worthless that you want to tell them that they are only worth 1/10 of a Whopper. Genius. Reply Nick January 8th, 2009 Man BK is really stepping up the ads these days. I’m very impressed. Not enough to eat there, but impressed. Reply Bert January 8th, 2009 Finally a good reason to cut some of my non-friend friends and get rewarded. I think the first one to go will be that ugly girl that my roommate was banging for a month when we were in law school. Everyone knows that their friend list is overflowing with people they have no intention of ever talking to again. Reply Steve January 8th, 2009 Great! Kudos to BK. Reply Diego January 8th, 2009 What happens if you defriend and then refriend? Reply lex January 8th, 2009 interesting advertising, but disgusting product. Reply le w January 8th, 2009 Eeaasy. Send a message to 10 of your best pals / relatives who you trust to get in on it. Tell them the plan that you will be “defriending” them so you can get the deal, and encourage them to make a pact with 10 of their friends. Just re-add them after, and fuck you, Burger Thing. Reply Jay Bonus January 8th, 2009 This is a humor idea …I’m down with it thoe- Reply Christine January 8th, 2009 Best facebook app ever! I had so much fun deleting people 😀 Reply Kate Bauer January 8th, 2009 It’s all fun and games until you realize there is NO visible means to block the app or stop it from notifying those you sacrificed. REAL nice guys. Geez. Reply Pablo January 8th, 2009 wow. That’s just disgusting…but in a delicious sort of way. Reply Justin Watt January 8th, 2009 Subtitle should have been: Ditch 10 Friends, Get a Free Whopper, Gain 15 Pounds. Reply Rod January 8th, 2009 How about you get a free Whopper if you kill a cow? Reply PAulypunchball January 8th, 2009 10 friends on facebook? done ! what about 20? with friends like these you dont need enemies Reply bryan January 8th, 2009 haha I love this. It was pretty easy finding 10 people from high school that I never really liked or talked to in the first place and i hope will never see again. At least at my 10 yr reunion, i can be like “oh yeaa youre that kid I ditched for 1/10 of a whopper…..it was so worth it” Reply Tokers January 8th, 2009 lol nice BK is doing it up right. An are you really freakd about deleating friends? If they are your friends for real, they dont give a shit about facebook. Im sure they’d do the same if they loved BK Reply Steve January 8th, 2009 I’ve eaten an Angry Whopper, and it’s not worth losing 10 friends over. I prefer it with Cheese, Bacon, BBQ Sauce (no tomato) anyway. 🙂 Reply Biteme January 8th, 2009 I have no friends and have ignored friend requests for years. So no wopper for me. Screw you Ronald McDeath Burger Reply John January 8th, 2009 Concidering the fact that 99% of people friend random people anyway just so that they can have the most friends on Farcebook, this isn’t going to destroy many, if any friendships. Reply John January 8th, 2009 Lord, what have we become? Reply captainah January 8th, 2009 sorry, good friends are hard to find nowadays and i certainly would not dump any of my friends for a burger that is falsely advertised as fda choice beef when it has been proven that it is comprised of corn byproducts and it is nothing more than unhealthy fillers. sorry BK preach your advertising bs in foreign countries but not here in america. you corporate a..holes will do just about anything just to sell a burger. your competition wont even stoop this low and i dont care to eat their food either its all the same fillers just in a different wrapper. why dont you eat your own food and leave we the people alone and healthy. Reply Anoun January 9th, 2009 Rod, I would kill around 7 cows for a hamburger. Yes even a whopper, the shameless attempt to outdo the shear superiority of McDonald’s. Reply Zuhl January 9th, 2009 You can always add the 10 friends back again later.
