Black-Bunned Burgers

Burger King Releases the Dark Vader Burger in France

Burger King is releasing the Dak Vader Burger in France to promote the re-release of 'The Phantom Menace' in 3D this year. Although that might not seem very newsworthy, its unique use of all-black buns is. Filled with meat, cheese and, of course, the Force, this meal will get fanboys and girls drooling in no time.

Launching at the end of January, the Dark Vader Burger will be accompanied by a more reserved Jedi Burger that has the boring, traditional brown buns that the rest of the world is already accustomed to. If the Dark Vader Burger could be made with black buns, there is no reason why the Jedi Burger could have boasted green buns.
