They want employees from both restaurants to work together in pop up stores. McDonalds said no. I don't blame them. Why would they want a competitor to see what they put in their secret sauce?

I mean, just buy a Whopper and pour some Thousand Island dressing on it.

If you think fast food employees sucked before imagine a BK employee not knowing how long to properly cook McD's meat and vice versa.

Burger King has proposed to McDonald’s that the two fast-food chains come together to make “The McWhopper.”

In a full-page advertisement published Wednesday in the Chicago Tribune and The New York Times, Miami-based Burger King says the two rivals should call a one-day ceasefire in the “burger wars” to make a sandwich that combines elements of the Big Mac and the Whopper, the two chains’ signature burgers.

Burger King says the McWhopper would be sold for one day at a pop-up store in Atlanta and sales would benefit Peace One Day, a non-profit organization campaigning to raise awareness of the United Nations-recognized Peace Day of Sept. 21.
only in Atlanta, though...











update: McDonald's declines

quote:
"We love the intention but think our two brands could do something bigger to make a difference," read a post on McDonald's Facebook signed by McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook.

But Easterbrook chided Burger King for using the language of battle to describe their competition, saying it paled compared to the "real pain and suffering of war."

"A simple phone call will do next time," read a testy postscript.

The worst.

Wolfgang Puck could serve them Chef Boyardee and they'd exclaim its the most fantastic gourmet Italian they've ever had.
