Burger King in Spain decided to jump on the whole blind box craze popularized by Labubu and is now selling Mystery menus. Yes, you don’t know what burger you are going to get. You can now gamble on food.

Is it just me or is that a little bit fucked up? What are they going to invent next? Mystery bag of groceries? Random amount of gas when refueling?
AKA a way to get rid of whatever’s been sitting there the longest?
Ngl I kinda think it could be neat.
There’s a food app called Too Good To Go that lets you pick up mystery bags of leftover food from restaurants for cheap, and if you’re not too picky it’s actually kinda fun paying $5 for a random meal.
Discount + avoid wasting food on local restaurants != megacorp charging full price for garbage food
opens mystery box
literal shit
“This is poop from a butt.”
Leftovers Burger doesn’t have the same ring.
I remember reading a few years ago that Nespresso is selling Vintage coffee capsules now. Because everyone who likes coffee, knows that coffee beans are only really good when they are ground up and stored for a decade. But people pay extra for it, so who am i to judge.
I have a friend who worked there a few years ago and this isn’t real.
Bad for people with food allergies…
I think the idea is stupid too, but if you know you have a food allergy and willingly walk into problem areas… imagine knowing you have reactions to pickles, but you don’t order no pickles on something that comes with pickles, hoping that maybe they’ll forget this one time. YOLO?
You’re an idiot woth a death wish if you have food allergies and are going to a fast food place. Everything contaminates everything in those kitchens.
Might vary by restaurant and managerial staff, but on my days in MacDonald an order with allergy notice would be handled by an experienced member who would open new bag of everything.
They were a chore, but very rare.
Bad for people who don’t want to become obese and die too.
Most of the time, I choose the smallest offering when I go out because even that’s more than enough. I don’t think I would be happier with a triple bacon monstrosity.
Some of the stuff Wendy’s does is obscene.
Obscenely awesome.
Heh, how else would they sell you their leftovers?
Have it whose way?
Have it in a way
Mythic rare burger?
Yea I got the [input burger name]. Which one did you got ? Do you want to trade Burgers?

Bro that’s such bullshit, it would have been epic if it wasn’t cursed.
Can’t wait for gas stations to give you mystery gas station drugs.
fuck this noise
Not in the US…
I follow a YouTuber who lives in Japan, I think he’s American or English, either way, Burger King does some wild stuff over there. Some of it sounds really nasty. Some of it, I’d be willing to try — this is coming from someone who does not eat fast food. Like, I can make an awesome burger at home, in my air fryer, and honestly so can anyone. I get the convenience aspect and I try not to judge those who go for fast food, it’s just not for me.
I didn’t know they did different stuff in Spain, too. It seems like it’s just America that is boring for fast food places. This seems fun. It’s not something I’d partake in because I like certainty (goes more into how I prefer my cooking to theirs) but it’s a fun concept. I have worked in fast food before and I know there’s no way in Hell they’re making fresh food for this. You’re getting whatever they have left over. If they have nothing left over, maybe there’s a new “random” button on the register that picks a protein, picks a bread, picks toppings, and to the line workers, it’s as though the person actually ordered that weirdness. And they just make it.
more real life lootboxes are exactly what we needed. thank you based burguer shop.
This isn’t a new concept by a long shot. This type of mystery bag is a staple in Japan. Gacha systems are everywhere.
Hell, you have to enter a lottery just to get a chance to stand in line to buy launch products for almost everything.
Mf forgot about baseball cards and ccgs
eating the flesh of a vulnerable individual who suffered atrocity passes the bar, but not knowing if you’re going to get a bun or a wrap is fucked up.
