With Burger King Facebook App, Lose Ten Friends and Win a Whopper

by Peter Mychalcewycz on January 8, 2009 at 09:00 PM



The folks at Burger King have come to Facebook and they're not making many friends. Actually, they're asking you to sacrifice yours, we learned from the blog So Good.

The fast food purveyors have released a new Facebook application in conjunction with the debut of the Angry Whopper (a spicy version of the original), giving the new burgers away for free. Of course, there is a slightly disturbing catch. In order to receive said burger, you have to remove ten people from your Facebook friends list.

While Pizza Hut beat Burger King to the fast food app game, Burger King is the first to offer up free grub.

While the tactic is twisted in a comical way, it will probably go over big considering a small percentage of most folks' Facebook friends are actually their friends. We could say goodbye to that long lost middle school acquaintance, but say goodbye to free food? Not likely. [From: So Good]
