12 Weirdest Pieces Of Movie Merchandise Ever Created

12. Darth Vader Burger

It’s not unusual to see fast food chains team up with the film industry but you’d think they’d want to create grub that actually looks vaguely tasty. That wasn’t the case when Belgian and French burger chain Quick launched its limited edition Dark Vador burger with the 2012 release of Lucasfilm’s 3D reissue of The Phantom Menace.

Although the ads for the burger made it look mouth-watering in a deliciously dark kind of way, the reality was a rather sad looking thing unlikely to whet anyone’s appetite. Basically a regular burger with your average toppings, the only thing distinguishing the Dark Vador burger from others was a bun dyed black with food colouring that looked slightly greyish in tone and way past its sell by date.

The reviews that rolled in for the burger weren’t all that enthusiastic so like the 3D release of The Phantom Menace itself, it’s safe to say the Dark Vador was a pointless and unappealing endeavour too.
