Burger King Austria’s new Pride Whoppers have two tops and two bottoms and Gay Twitter™ has thoughts
Oh, Burger King. You’ve long been one of the queer community’s biggest supporters in the fast food world—a proper Burger Queen!
And we appreciate that. But we do have to talk about how your Austrian franchise is celebrating the season.To kick off Pride Month, the brand—@burgerkingaustria—took to Instagram to share photos of their special, seasonal Pride Whoppers.
With a retro rainbow background and the words, “Time to be proud” writ large, things are off to a good start! But then we took a closer look at the burgers in question, particularly the buns… A post shared by BURGER KING® Österreich (@burgerkingaustria)If you’ll notice, that Whopper on the left has two rounded, sesame seed-flecked pieces of bread; in other words, two top buns.
But the right Whopper is a little less showy, its bread more flat, more squared off: Two bottom buns. Hmmm.Perhaps Twitter user @JarrettSays—who first brought this to our attention—can clear things up a bit:Burger King Austria made a Pride burger that’s either two tops or two bottoms… what in straight hell?
