When I walked into BK I was so hungry and anxious to try out this new whopper. When I first put my hands on the Halloween Whopper the black buns made me lose my hunger, I don’t think i’ve ever ate food that dark and even though I know that the Whopper’s bread was mixed with A1 steak sauce, the way the dark bun looked made it seem like I was going to eat something expired.
I couldn’t get it out of my head, but at the same time it looked delicious so it was a weird mixture of feelings. I ripped a small piece of bread to see if it tasted different from the regular whopper bread and it did to me, if I could try to describe it it tasted a little more dry and a tiny bit bitter. Im guessing this is because of the black food dye. I”m glad that the food dye is made from steak sauce and not from squid ink like in japan.
The whopper itself tasted pretty much the same, there isn’t much of difference. A friend of mine also went with me to try out this burger, he also found it a little disgusting so he decided to eat it really quick while I decided to eat it slowly and try to figure out what was different.
Everyone was giving us weird looks, I felt like when my friend or I would take a bite everyone in there would be curious and look , I actually made eye contact with a lot people eating in there, and nothing feels more awkward when people watching you eat. When I’m at Burger King and I finish eating a burger I usually don’t get full and order something else. But for some reason when I was on my last bite I didn’t feel like eating anymore.
Warning what you are about to read may cause you to feel disgusted, vomit or even worse.
The next day when I got home from school I had to rush to the bathroom, I sat there for a while doing my business and when I looked down at my piece of art in the toilet I saw very bright pieces of neon green. Wiping was the scariest part of all. Now I know what the easter bunny feels like. For my friend it took him 3 days to poop green, maybe he shouldn’t have rushed the burger. I’m still curious about how it makes you poop green. What surprised me the most is how amazing the visual of the food can change the perspective towards being hungry.
