Burger King is now the first fast food chain to try and bring brunch to the masses.
Attempting to mainstream the once high class mid-meal, Burger King is now offering assorted brunch sandwiches, whoppers, and their own version of a mimosa--made with Sprite instead of champagne.
That's right--a Burger King mimosa.
Needless to say, this idea is already making waves.
Watchdog groups are already complaining that the BK Mimosa glamorizes drinking to young children.
I disagree--Gossip Girl glamorizes mimosas. If anything, Burger King is going to severely devalue the image of a mimosa.
I mean--Sprite? The whole concept of a mimosa came about because rich people like getting drunk before five on a Sunday afternoon! You can't MAINSTREAM that.
That's like trying to mainstream a rainbow.
A glorious, rich, lush of a rainbow.
As for the rest of the menu, all they're doing is taking what they offer later in the day and offering it earlier.
So now, not only do we live in a country with an obesity epidemic, but we're trying to get everybody fatter sooner in the day and labeling it with a cute term like "brunch" to get away with it.
Something tells me this one's going to crash and burn.
Brunch has always been an odd idea anyway, but one thing's for sure.
It's definitely not a drive-thru meal.
