Repelling Onion Burgers

Burger King Italia's Burger with Onions is Meant to Keep People Away

— May 19, 2020 — Lifestyle
Although restaurants are now in the phases of slowly reopening their physical locations and dining areas, people are still expected to keep a safe distance from others and to help with this, Burger King Italia is introducing a different take on its signature burger with onions—lots of onions. The Social Distancing Whopper from Burger King Italia boasts three times the onions as usual and can be ordered through eat-in, drive-thru and takeaway services.

Whether or not people choose to order the onion-heavy burger—especially as many people make a habit of ordering their burgers without onions or prefer to pick off the toppings—the Social Distancing Whopper created with the aid of Wunderman Thompson Italia offers a clever way for the chain to announce its reopening after temporary closures.
