20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Burger King
4. Youve 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 the 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 unimpressed by the novelty gift. Other restaurants whove released their own fragrances include Pizza Hut, who in 2013 gave away 100 bottles of a specially-developed scent (dubbed Eau de Pizza Hut, obviously) to celebrate reaching 100,000 fans on Facebook.
