DISCLAIMER

I am not now – nor have I ever been an employee of Burger King.

But I readily admit that the Whopper With Cheese has been my favorite fast food sandwich for decades. And since I like the hot & spicy – both in my food & in my women – I had to try the Angriest Whopper.

INGREDIENTS

So I tried one today. It consisted of:

• Beef
• Bacon
• American cheese
• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Onion petals
• Jalapeños
• Mayo
• Angry sauce
• Red bun

Plus I added some ketchup.

RED ROLL

It was very spicy, with plenty of jalapeños and a spicy sauce I couldn’t quite figure out. But I enjoyed it.

The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the red roll. They gotta get ridda the red roll. It’s intrusive to the point that I found myself staring at it on every bite. And maybe it was the color – or my imagination – but the texture seemed different.

I found myself contemplating the roll rather than just enjoying the sandwich.

EMAIL

So I’ll send an email to Burger King in a few minutes expressing my displeasure with the red roll.

In the past, I’ve emailed Burger King about two issues:

1. Steven Tyler was doing BK commercials a couple years back and I told BK that I was refusing to purchase their product as long as they were using a freak like him to promote their brand.
2. Cardboard boxes replaced wrapped Whoppers With Cheese a couple years back. The unwrapped sandwiches  were cold & the rolls hard by the time I got them home. So I told BK that I was refusing to purchase their product as long as they were using cardboard containers instead of wrapping my Whoppers With Cheese.

Did my complaints work?

You better believe it

1. You haven’t seen that freak Steven Tyler doing BK commercials for years.
2. My Whoppers With Cheese are wrapped once again – and still warm by the time I get home.

COMPLAINTS

Companies listen to complaints from consumers.

I know it wasn’t my email – by itself – that caused the changes at BK. But I’m willing to bet that there were a bunch of us who felt the same way & BK listened to our collective voice.

If you don’t like something, speak up and voice your opinion.

In the case of the Angriest Whopper, I’ll just have to order it my way with a regular roll until the red roll disappears.
