http://www.examiner.com/x-396-Chica...pper-of-a-new-body-spray-Flame-by-Burger-King
So you say you want to smell like a flame-broiled meat patty? Well, you're in luck.
Tuesday, Burger King challenged its consumers to answer this truly bizarre query, and, judging by the fact that their Flame body spray is already sold out, it appears we responded with a hearty "Hell yes!"
The only thing more hysterical (read: utterly disturbing) than the existence of the beef-scented body spray is Burger King's creepy online promo.
The "Fire meets Desire" flash site features late night Cinemax-style music and a click-triggered slideshow of "romantic" images, the grand finale being the King himself, clad in a loincloth, sprawled in front of a fire on a bearskin rug, and beckoning in a way that makes you look over your shoulder to make sure no one else is watching. Flame's tagline, "Set the mood no matter what mood you're in the mood for," sent me into a fit of giggles, but that final image still has me shuddering. Ew.
What's next? Perhaps a french fry body lotion by Mickey D's? They could call it "Glisten." Or maybe "Steam" by White Castle, which would capture that recognizably pungent steamed onion scent and turn it into a shower gel. Ugh, I'm horrifying myself now.
"Flame" is listed for sale at Ricky's NYC, but as I mentioned, it's currently sold out. The reviews are definitely worth a read, though.
