Burger King Launches Marvel’s Iron Man “Whiplash” Whopper
Burger King Corporation catapults customers into the thrilling world of “Iron Man 2,” opening in theaters everywhere May 7, with an action-packed national promotion featuring the WHIPLASH WHOPPER sandwich. This limited-time addition to the BK menu captures the sharp edge of the film’s villain, Whiplash, with an intense, red-hot flavor combination featuring a flame-broiled WHOPPER sandwich topped with melted Pepper Jack cheese, crispy red peppers and spicy mayonnaise. The fiery sandwich will be available for a suggested price of $3.79 at participating restaurants throughout the four-week promotion.
To further mark the return of this popular movie franchise, Burger King Corp. has created an exclusive collection of BK Kids Meal toys that bring the power and attitude of “Iron Man” into restaurants. This collection of eight film-inspired premiums are available with the purchase of a BK Kids Meal and include four lifestyle accessories for girls and four action-packed toys for boys, including an exclusive “Iron Man 2″ figurine that stands a full seven inches tall when assembled.*
“BKC is proud to have been a part of the theatrical debut of ‘Iron Man,’ and we are thrilled to continue our support with ‘Iron Man 2,’” said Mike Kappitt, chief marketing officer, North America, Burger King Corp. “We’ve invested more than ever before in our promotional elements so our guests can expect a new cutting-edge, Stark Industry-inspired promotional line-up featuring fan favorites like our collectible toys that are bigger and better, as well as some exciting new elements aimed at satisfying the hungriest of adult heroes.”
In the national adult television commercial, the King armors up with a futuristic “Iron Man” suit. In the spot, the “Iron King” introduces the latest technologies from the BURGER KING brand to the curious visitors at the Stark Expo. In his quest to deliver high-tech value with flame-fresh taste via another new great product, the Buck Double sandwich, he ends up wreaking havoc at the Expo.
