They're doing whatever they can to lure in customers before they file for bankruptcy.

Noooo. McDonalds has only had one declining quarter in its history as a public company. Burger King has had several really bad advertisement periods and marketing campaigns. McDonald's diversified holdings and spinoffs such as Chipotle have helped them rake in even more revenue. Basically what happened to Burger King is it had success under severa different owners until 1989 when it was bought by a British company. Its next 13 years it had eight different chief executives, bad marketing decisions, such and such. It was bought by a group of American investors in 2002 who found it had massive financial problems with its largest franchise holders declaring bankruptcy. As of 2004 it hired a new financial specialist under its new American holders. That's why over the last two years a lot of BK franchises have been closed. Over a 100 million in debt has been wiped, and that's also why they've got this new marketing program featuring "The King". Its finances have improved but it's still walking the line.

BTW, the 4 patty bacon cheeseburger isn't as big as it looks. The patties are MUCH smaller than say a Whopper patty. |

BK is about to lose its second level trading status (just under MCD) to Wendy's and has lost four percent of its market share in six years.

All those commercials with "The King" creep me out. That "Big Buckin' Chicken"/"Big Huckin' Chicken" crap is REALLY annoying. Why not just use the "F-Bomb", 'cause that's what it sounds like, anyway? There's a video out there, but I can't find the link this morning. It shows a guy lying in bed, with movement under the covers. After the "grande finale", the person under the covers pops out, revealing the Burger King with that creepy smile and "mayonaise" on the face. The guy in bed screams in horror, while the camera pans over into the corner, revealing a girl in her undies, tied-up and gagged, who then screams in horror through the gag. I have truly learned to loathe BK and McD's...

They have a good tasting pattie, the only problem is its never fresh and the way they put their burgers together really stinks. Granted its been forever since Ive been there but they put ketchup and mayo and not much else. McDs OWNS kids and teens. As long as kids are in the world and McDs wraps up a deal with the kid movie of the month they will NEVER lose money. People know thier food stinks, but go anyway. The one question I ALWAYS get is why our(Whataburger) toys suck. Our official answer is that "our target audience is men 18-49". Hmmm maybe our new slogan. "Whataburger, were looking for a few good men...to feed." Anyone seen the Whataburger Mysapce my wife and I made. People think its official. We try to be professional and I give out pre info about upcoming food and promotions. Thick and Hearty coming to and end after July 5th. If you still get it, its because your store(like mine) ordered extra sauce!!! 2 Pies for $.99 is coming soon. Sorry to turn this into a WB advertisement. I can just go on sometimes. What were we chating about....oh yeah... BK (Blows Knuts!) ................OOPS, I was signed in under my wifes account TexasPandaBear  |

Kids are really what keeps McDonnie's (as my son calls it) at the front of the pack. The Happy Meal is so appealing to kids, and thus appealing to parents of young kids. I've bribed my kids a million times with happy meals. And their toys/tie-ins are so much better than anything else. Pirates of the Carribean is next, Cars now, Build-a-Bear before that. Remember, one of McDonalds biggest marketing failures was that burger that was geared towards adults. They had commercials with Ronald dancing at the club, and doing all sorts of grown up stuff...the Arch Deluxe. That went to hell really fast, because everyone know's that McDonalds is not for grown ups, and when they try to be, they suck at it.

I hope they skip the 5 patty burger and go straight to 6. Imagine..the sextuple burger, of course it will inevitably become known as the sex burger and give new life and meaning to their "have it your way" slogan.

Remember the Giant burger by Jack-in-the-Box? Now that was over-board.
