Burger King plans beer-selling Whopper Bar

"Gimme a Whopper, fries — and a beer.

"Those words are no longer wishful thinking. Friday, Burger King will unveil plans to sell beer and burgers at a Whopper Bar — a new BK concept to compete with casual dining restaurants — in Miami Beach's tourist-heavy South Beach."

I don't generally eat fast food, but why not? In fact the last time I can remember being in a Burger King was in Madrid about 20 years ago and I did buy a beer with my meal.

The only downside is the kids who work there won't be able to become shift managers until they are 21.

In 1985 on the way to the World Meet in Yugoslavia, we had a 2 hour layover in Frankfort, Germany. (I was the Air Bears rigger and sort of packer) John Robbins and I decided to go into down town Frankfort and have a look. I don't know what part of Frankfort we wound up in but as we walked around the block it seems that every other shop was a titty bar. There were jewelry shops and luggage shops and all the other kinds of shops but there were WAY more titty bars than anything else. There was also a McDonald's and a Burger King. And the Burger King had beer on the menue. I had a Wopper and a beer. John, being a vegetarian, had fries. But I thought beer was a good idea at Burger King way back then.

Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

Where are we going and why are we in this basket?

Whopper? No.
Beer? Sure, if it was any good.

January 22, 2032 - AP In the face of struggling profits, Burger King unveils plans to require workers to serve food topless. 'After Hooters started serving chicken wings with waitresses fully naked, we were forced to do something to compete,' exclaimed Charles McBrazen, 19-year old CEO of parent company Bad Eats, Inc.

I can always hope . . . even the Bomb Shelter has Pyramid and New Belgium now.

I wouldn't want a beer or a Whopper, but then I'm probably not their target customer.

Is it just me or does everyone else have an incredible urge to go to Hooters now?

Obviously, the beer will be the healthiest thing on the menu:
