This really cracks me up. If you’re hard-pressed about what to buy for the “dude who has everything” this Christmas season, fast-food company Burger King may have solved your problem. Flame, a new body spray for men, is a bargain-priced gift at just $3.99 for a 5-ml bottle. And, guaranteed that special older guy or teenager does not have any scented product in his bathroom-cabinet fragrance arsenal that smells anything like Flame. Because Flame smells like… cooked meat. Oh, yum!
The novelty fragrance is described as having a “scent of seduction, with a hint of flame-broiled meat.” Read the MNBC article “Appetite for Seduction: BK’s New Fragrance.” The classic Burger King Whopper® as a grooming aid… a quirky idea definitely NOT for vegans. Absolutely brilliant marketing idea.
Bottles of Flame are currently available for sale in Ricky’s stores in New York City and on a dedicated Web site, FireMeetsDesire.com. If you visit the Burger King website, be sure to click the canister of Flame (it can be found down at the bottom margin) several times to see a number of associated animated sensual backgrounds (roaring fire, couple pouring champagne, undulating roses – you get the picture) with generic “romance mood music” playing. Be forewarned that the one with the King undressed in bed (strategically covered) with his attempt at a seductive, come-hither look is a bit disturbing. Flame is a unique, inexpensive (and likely hilarious) idea as a stocking stuffer or holiday office gift exchange present. Let the double entenders roll…
