in one of the oddest corporate pairings, microsoft and burger king have joined forces in japan to unveil the "windows 7 whopper." the promotion, tied to the release of microsoft windows 7 operating system on thursday, is a whopper with seven beef patties that costs ¥777 ($8.50). the burger stands 5 inches tall, but will only be available for seven days. engadget reported that the small print stated that in fact only the first 30 customers each day will get the burger at ¥777, the price will then go up to ¥1,450 ($17.10) for the privilege. tech blog electronista noted that the stunt is part of microsoft's effort to turn around its public image. source have any interesting articles you'd like to share? article request thread.
montpelier, vt.- a man who says he bit into a burger king sandwich and found an unwrapped condom inside has sued the owner of the restaurant. van miguel hartless, 24, of fair haven, said friday he bought the southwestern whopper at a burger king in rutland on june 18 and made the discovery when he got home and started eating it. "my third bite into the burger, it was just a foreign taste," he said. "it was a very sour, bitter sort of taste. it almost had a numbing sensation. "as i went to bite down a little harder, i felt a rubber grind in between my teeth. i saw it half in my mouth, half hanging out. it was an immediate sick-to-my-stomach type of thing." hartless said he waited three weeks before contacting an attorney. his lawsuit, filed nov. 16, names store owner carrols corp., of syracuse, n.y., and seeks damages for pain and suffering, emotional duress and medical expenses. messages left with carrols corp. were not returned friday. a spokeswoman for burger king said it has referred the matter to carrols corp. similar claims have turned out to be fraudulent in other cases. a california couple was sentenced to nine years in prison in 2006 for planting a severed finger in a bowl of wendy's chili in a scheme to extort money from the fast-food chain. hartless, a student at green mountain college, defended his claim. a search of court filings in rutland superior court — where hartless' suit was filed — and the civil court in el paso, texas, where he lived before showed no prior or existing lawsuits, according to the rutland herald, which first reported the lawsuit friday. hartless' lawyer, devin mclaughlin, said he had hartless undergo a lie detector test before the suit was filed, and that he passed "with flying colors." hartless said he has suffered from vomiting, nightmares and emotional distress. he said he also has incurred medical expenses, because he's worried about whether the condom had been used. he said stored the sandwich and its original wrapper in a plastic bag in a freezer in his garage. source, source
[florida]- you can have it your way, but you can’t halve it your way — at least not at the burger king on cape coral parkway. john mack found this out a week ago wednesday when he went to that burger king, ordered a whopper with cheese, fries and a drink and then asked the young man preparing the meal to cut the sandwich in half. after mack made the request, the worker looked at a woman mack assumed was the manager. she told mack that the restaurant policy was not to cut sandwiches. the problem: mack has one arm. “i was a little flabbergasted,” mack said, when the workers refused to cut the whopper. while serving in the u.s. military in 1977, mack suffered a “traumatic amputation” of his right arm, the 52-year-old cape coral man said. mack’s arm is removed 6 inches above the elbow. wearing a short-sleeve shirt, he still pointed out the obvious and told the worker that he was disabled. the woman said that plastic knives were available if he wanted to cut the sandwich himself. he said that if he could have cut the burger with a plastic knife, he wouldn’t have asked them to cut it for him. “she shrugged her shoulders,” mack said, “like whatever.” mack said he was hungry, so he bought the meal anyway. “i sat there and let it fall apart and ate it,” he said. i called the cape coral restaurant and the manager said she couldn’t discuss the incident. the cape coral parkway burger king is one of 27 burger king restaurant franchises owned by southern management corp. of belle glade. j. blanco, the director of operations, spoke to me. “that’s our policy, not to cut the sandwich,” blanco said. “we want to keep the employees safe so they don’t cut themselves and for the customers, too. the less you mess around with the customer’s food, the better.” employees are afraid they’ll lose their jobs if they violate corporate rules, blanco said. still, he contended, the manager should have exercised common sense and cut mack’s burger. blanco added that if he had been in the restaurant that day, he would have broken the policy, washed his hands and cut the sandwich himself. as blanco put it: “some things you do because it’s the right thing to do and the human thing to do.” source
