BurgerKing Japan will be releasing (on April 1) a special Whopper eau de toilette. It may be an April 1 prank so stay tuned.
The current promise is that for that day (April 1), the purveyor of Whopper will sell the perfume for 5,000 Yen (about $US42) with a whopper.
So I don't know if this is real, we'll just have to wait and see.

Feast your eyes on a marketing idea(link) dreamed up by Moroch (Dallas based marketing company) for McDonald's. We don't know the who, what, when, where and why but it's an interesting idea.
Give people McDonald's gloves and they'll market the fries for you while staying "toasty" warm.
Are you crazy those warm, salty, crispy McDonald's french fries yet?
Buy what ? Where? hun?
You read right... Burger King is opening its first restaurant in India and is hoping eBay will help drive sales. You were able to pre-order a Mutton Whopper on eBay or 128 rupees ($US 2.08 - $CAD 2.38 - £ 1.31).
Pre-ordering one meant you got a voucher for a burger and a Whopper TShirt.

In the category of "are they out of their minds" comes Gummy Bear sausage. At first this looks like a misprint or a joke but it isn't. Oh no folks, this is the real thing.
Grundhofer Old Fashioned Meats (link) in Minnesota is the creator of this meaty sugary monstrosity. The owner, Spencer GRundhofer, said this started as a joke when a friend suggested he make a gummy bear flavored sausage. The joke turned into a permanent menu item when demand continued to grow. Because who doesn't want sugary Brat?

Since we've cured all sickness and disease, the human race can now turn its attention to the incredible important issue of dining while at a picnic. All right... We haven't cured everything yet which is why I am so dumbfounded when I see people waste energy on absolutely useless inventions like this.
I can't wait to see the ads for it on TV.
Michael Jan, an industrial designer in Taiwan, has heard your cries for a better picnic dining experience and has created the napkin table (link). Each person wear's one end of this horrific contraption which even has slots for your cup and bowl.
I guess some weardos will want one but they have to wait. At this point this is only a design but you know someone will commercialize this.
