Burger King Unveils “Flame” Meat Scented Body Spray
Want to attract women? Want to please the woman in your life? Burger King has a solution:
Use a body spray that contains the hint of the scent of broiled meat.
What’s hinted at is that if you use this new broiled meat spray you might — as the old Burger King slogan proclaimed — REALLY need two hands to handle a….(you fill in the blank).
There’s even a website promoting it…and this is no joke:
Looking to beef up your mojo this holiday season?
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.
Burger King is marketing the product through a Web site featuring a photo of its King character reclining fireside and naked but for an animal fur strategically placed to not offend.
The marketing ploy is the latest in a string of viral ad campaigns by the company. Burger King is also in the midst of its Whopper Virgins campaign that features an taste test with fast-food “virgins” pitting the Whopper against McDonald’s Corp.’s Big Mac.
If this turns on 21st century women, will a french-fry smelling body scent be far behind? And perhaps we’ll see copy cat products like this:
–“LOTS OF TOPPINGS”: A new seductive pizza-like body scent…from Pizza Hut.
–“THE CHICAGO WAY”: Entice women with the turn-on smell of an extra long Chicago hot dog with sauerkraut suggesting a spicy relationship that’s sure to be a gas..from Wienerschnitzel.
–“THE CHOSEN LOVER” (one I would have liked to have gotten on my bar mitzvah): Wear the scent of being the chosen one by using body spray containing a whisper of the aroma of chopped liver, belly lox and kreplach…from Manischewitz.
—“REFRIED LOVE”: Turn on women with a body spray containing the sexually arousing smell of refried beans…from Taco Bell.
UPDATE: So what does the stuff really smell like? Here’s the news by a nose…

My friend and I came up with a line of body spray that he anointed “ManScense” which was very close to this. Although I think our line was better: we had fresh cut grass, new leather, campfire and woodshop…I can't remember if there was anything else. The reactions of our female friends ranged from bewilderment to proclaiming it was the best idea they heard of. The guys universally liked it.
What happens if you are wearing the “Flame” scent and run into a real-life Hannibal Lechter?
Wouldn't it attract dogs and flies?
kritt: oh, puhleeze… Hannibal Lechter has much better taste. Actually “Flame” might keep Hannibal away from you.
But your sentence brought to mind Hannibal eating that one guy's brains out (I forget which movie) and licking the guy's face, savoring “Flame”. Before you say anything I will remind you that you brought it up!
I'm headed to the airport at about 3:30 this morning so I needed something to keep me up. After imagining Hannibal I'll definitely stay up all night. Thanks!
SB- I rented that movie and then couldn't watch it all the way–too
squeamish. I think it was the line about savoring a liver with a good bottle
of chianti that did me in, and I'll never get Hannibal's muzzle completely
out of my mind.
Hopefully, I won't receive a gift-wrapped bottle of “Flame” in my stocking
on 12/25– I mean seriously- where's the beef??? Who wants to smell like a
Whopper with all the fixin's?
If you are heading out of town for the holidays– watch out for the
airlines they are scamming their passengers these days. Don't check anything
that you can't bear to part with. Have a happy holiday- (shout out to
Bill'O, lol)
