Just in time for Christmas comes the ultimate stocking stuffer for any man: Burger King’s new meat-scented body spray, “Flame”.
I’m not even kidding. Some friends alerted me to this product tonight, and I literally ran home to Google it. You can read about it here. This is the actual description from Burger King’s “Fire Meets Desire” website:
The WHOPPER sandwich is America’s favorite burger. FLAME by BK captures the essence of that love and gives it to you. Behold the scent of seduction, with a hint of flame-broiled meat.
Indeed.
Here’s my question: Did Burger King get this all wrong? They’re marketing Flame as a scent to attract women, but isn’t the smell of meat going to have the opposite effect and attract other men? Or shouldn’t this be a perfume instead? A beautiful woman who also smells like a Whopper? That’s a product guys would go for.
What do you think, does a meat-scented body spray sound appealing? And when is McDonald’s releasing its competing Filet-O-Fish body lotion?

Perhaps the most ridiculous part about this whole scent thing is the site for it: http://www.firemeetsdesire.com/
and probably my favorite part is when you click on the links at the bottom of the page that take you to the legal info, or the Burger King corporate site, a Barry White voice says, ‘Hot Hot legal info.” or “Ohh lets get corporate.” Hilarious. The guy wearing the creepy BK mask sitting on the bearskin rug I could do without though. Thats just weird.
