When You Love Whoppers More Than Your Friends - Neatorama

Are you dying for a Whopper right now, but don't have a dime to your name? Do you have Facebook? Well, problem solved - download the Whopper Sacrifice application. If you have 10 friends you're willing to dump on Facebook, Burger King will send you a coupon for a free burger. Plus, the people you ditched get e-mails saying that the King means more to you than they do. I think that's weird, and pretty crappy. But I guess if you get 10 friends in on it and warn them that you're going to dump them but not to be offended, you can have yourself a pretty painless, free Whopper. Or you could just dig around in your couch cushions and check the dryer for coins. You can probably come up with a couple of bucks for a Whopper.

Previously on Neatorama: Whopper Perfume. I have to say, their marketing gets my attention. It doesn't send me to Burger King, but it does get my attention.

This is beyond tacky. That's sickening. Of course it's only a matter of time until people start gaming the system and adding ten friends just to dump them for a free Whopper.

But seriously, what the hell are BK thinking?

BK is thinking, "For the cost of one Whopper we can get ten email addresses". They probably also value the free publicity this app will bring.

Well I'm in the process of cleaning out my facebook anyway! Why not get a free Whopper?

Have Whoppers become so expensive?

Can you only get one? I'll delete all my friends and family for a stack of whopper coupons. They'd understand.

P.S. This could be the end of face book, if everyone removes all their friends.

Bwahahaha. I love the subtle misanthropy/weirdness inherent in all BK promotions these days.

Agreed, Tempscire. I think this is awesome (probably becasue I'm something of a cynic, and not a facebook user).

Do they have this app for Myspace?

THIS IS HILARIOUS

Someone in that Ad department at BK hates FB.

This is fantastic! There's so many people who are "friend-promiscuous" who have added 100s of people but couldn't remember a personal detail about them. This is a great way to take a swipe at the posers and get a free whopper.

So right rabbit. I know I have at least 10 "friend-whores" on my account (I usually don't refuse people unless they get annoying with posts or something). I think this totally fits right in with the bizarre promotional kick BK has been on since the advent of creepy/awesome King.

I love how people are shocked that someone might DARE to delete their friends on Facebook "What will they think? Geez! I should call them, make sure they aren't pained by the lack of my virtual friendship."
I salute BK and it's ambitious attempt at getting people to dump FB friends and get REAL ONES.

Mmm... sounds like I'm about to get a whopper. By the way, @DOJ, Facebook allows applications to send users messages without knowing their email addresses.

BK is so weird, i love it. its good to know that if im running low on money and food in the middle of the semester, i have another option ;)

I know almost nothing about Facebook apps Ashley (I stopped using Facebook around the time apps were introduced, hopefully I've been 'sacrificed' to feed my old friends). But, I was assuming BK would use/sell the email addresses again in the future. So does BK actually get their hand on the email addresses?

A whopper costs like $2.99. That's 29.9 cents per friend.

Hilarious.
Like Facebook matters in the world of friendship.
