Scent of a Whopper
This purports to be an AP story at Yahoo about Burger King marketing a beef-scented body spray called “Flame.”
Burger King Corp. may have just the thing. The home of the Whopper has launched a new men’s body spray called “Flame.” The company describes the spray as “the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat.”
The fragrance is on sale at New York City retailer Ricky’s NYC in stores and online for a limited time for $3.99.
Yeah, apparently it’s real. It’s all over Google news. Sounds like it’s priced about right. I predict dog-mauling reports to follow shortly. Anyone have any thoughts on whether women are actually going to find the scent seductive?
Sky, which links to the “Flame” vid, quotes a female tattoo artist’s rave review:
Amanda Creek, from Virginia Beach in the US, wrote in a review of the product: “I received Flame in the mail two days ago. Yesterday I wore it to work for the first time.
“As a tattoo artist, our tip amounts vary greatly, but yesterday not one tip was less than $50!!!!! I know it had everything to do with wearing Flame - THANK YOU! :)”
OK, maybe the smell of burnt meat goes to some primeval olfactory place, says Ugh is a great hunter, or dinner’s ready.
Hot Air, “Flame” smells like gasoline. That’s hot!

Nothing I like better than a girl that smells like a cheeseburger (hold the onions).

Won’t do for the PETA crowd, of course.
