We took the brood to Burger King today for a quick lunch (the youngest likes the stylish head wear) and I have to say, it was a little depressing. The employees in the back just about equaled if not outnumbered the patrons. The sad curtains on the wall screamed “Bickfords!”, and just overall it was quiet.
But I got the “exciting”, though descriptionless, themed Whopper they have in conjunction with “Iron Man 2″. For the most part it was bland with pockets of spice that weren’t distributed well throughout the sandwich.
The really weird thing…we got the kid’s kid’s meals. You would think that maybe the toy would have something to do with “Iron Man 2″; movie tie in licensing costs big bucks. You’d be wrong. Both kids got a “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” toy, one of which broke within the first 45 seconds of play.
Bland burger, bland decor, 2 year old promotional items…frankly I think your advertising targets are the least of your worries.
On the upside, the orders were right, the staff did a good job, and the fries were delicious.
But the toy for the kids. Seriously? That’s the movie that finally pushed “Temple of Doom” off the heap as worst Indiana film ever.
