The Jack-O-Lantern Whopper

I'm a sucker for a gimmick.  But when that gimmick involves a Halloween item, I'm all over it.  Burger King is offering a limited-time Jack-O-Lantern whopper, as well as mummy mozzarella sticks and vampire nuggets.  This reminds me of my youth when there wasn't a shortage of fast-food places offering spooky menus.  Now it seems Burger King is one of the only places trying to spruce things up for the season.  


Essentially the same as a regular whopper, but with a bright orange bun topped with black sesame seeds, this thing was really big (I eat one whopper a year, so I forgot the size).  I ordered a medium meal deal and it cost a spooky fourteen bucks.  Remember when fast food was reasonably priced?  I swear it felt more logical to eat terrible food when you were getting it for a bargain.  Fourteen bucks made me a little too self-aware.

That said, it was a good burger (my favorite of all the burger chains).  And I really appreciated the presentation.  The packaging felt like something from the 80's.
