Burger King selling meat-scented body spray

Update: Maven smells the Meat Musk
–
Burger King is on a roll. First it dropped wallets stuffed with gift cards across major cities in the U.S. Then the Internet was abuzz with its Whopper Virgins campaign.
Today, we have meat perfume for fast-food dudes.
The nation’s No. 2 burger chain (NYSE:BKC) debuted this week “Flame,” a new men’s body spray that sports a hint of “flame-broiled” meat. Yes, this is a legit item the chain is selling online via Ricky’s, a New York-based costume retailer.
To buy the $3.99 Flame spray, go here.
Could be a good stocking stuffer.
So, what’s next for BK? Body wash that smells like French fries?
Tell us: Are these campaigns clever, or annoying? Write in and let me know.

I KNOW A COUPLE VEGITARIANS whom will be getting this stocking stuffer for X-MASS!
Someone should make sure its tested on animals then send a truckload over to the PETA headquarters
Link is wrong, either you got scammed or you’re rickrolling us.
Bazily: Sorry..I just had a bad link..the new one to Ricky’s site should be on there. Nancy
it is a bit annoying but its what their brand stands for… I like it… fun and harmless and so non-PC!!
Sean in Newport Beach, you might want to save the $8 and use it to buy a dictionary. The “vegitarians” will appreciate it.
oh….my….gaaaaaaa! WHAT will they think of next? And I agree with Sean in N.B.
Yes! Send it over to PETA!!!! There is a chick on their website that tells us all meat eaters that we are addicts, facists and not the brightest starts in the sky….this would be GREAT for her.
Oh yeah. I’m always wishing my man smelled like he’s been working overtime at a greasy fast food joint all day. Stop it, you’re turning me on!
that’s hella ghetto
B.O. does the trick just as effectively and it’s free!
My wife would get smacked upside the head if she ever dared to gift me with such an awful, moronic gift.
This should only be used as mace against Greenpeace protesters.
OMGosh
The perfect gift for your child that works at Carls Jr and has no idea what real meat smells like.
I think this is hilarious! (and a waste of money!
I tried it ,but a bunch of dogs followed me everywhere.
How great! They are on to something…what’s the new women’s scent?

Silly question! They have a body spray based upon the BK Big Fish which they are calling “Phishy.”
My husband LOOOVES the Whopper. He won’t be able to keep his hands off, er to himself!
this stuff is great -now my dog will play with me!!
When I heard about this BK Advertisement, I went to ‘Ricky’s’ website and saw it was for real !!! So, I said to myself, What the heck! It would make for a great conversation piece with the Ladies AND also, I bet I could get MORE for it than I paid for it (price + S&H) on eBay!!!! So I bought ONE for either a souvenier or a Collector’s item OR to sell it for whatever the Highest Bidder would pay for it on eBay!!! I LOVE the Commerical on …firemeetsdesire.com tho!!! HAHAHA! GOOD ONE BK!!! Oh, normally I am usually ANNOYED by Commercials!!!! But, I found this commercial clever and funny!!!
