20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Burger King

4. You€™ve Eaten The Burger, Now Buy The Cologne

No stranger to whacked-out ideas, Burger King developed the ultimate Christmas gift for meat-eating men in 2008 €“ barbecue-scented cologne. Promoted as €œthe scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat€, Flame retailed at $3.99 and was sold at selected US stores, although vegetarians were reportedly €œunimpressed€ by the novelty gift. Other restaurants who€™ve released their own fragrances include Pizza Hut, who in 2013 gave away 100 bottles of a specially-developed scent (dubbed €œEau de Pizza Hut€, obviously) to celebrate reaching 100,000 fans on Facebook.
