# Nostalgia Meal Campaigns The Boomer King Menu Celebrates Retro Television Culture By Amy Duong | Published 2026-07-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boomer-king-menu References: [press.buzzman.eu](https://press.buzzman.eu/en/burger-king-france/welcome-to-burger-king-for-boomers/)  The Boomer King menu is a limited-edition campaign from [Burger King France](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boomer-king) that draws inspiration from the television shows, snacks and pop culture of the 1980s and 1990s. Created by agency Buzzman, the promotion targets [nostalgic audiences with a themed meal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/throwback-menu) that includes one of four collectible items inspired by series such as Saved by the Bell, Knight Rider, Charmed and Beverly Hills, 90210. The menu also reintroduces [Canada Dry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockbuster-blizzard-treat-giveaway) at participating locations and adds a Galak King Fusion dessert to complete the retro-inspired offering. Supporting the launch is a campaign film that recreates the visual style of classic television opening sequences through period graphics, dramatic poses and intentionally nostalgic music. Burger King also references France's pre-internet Minitel network through the campaign's "3615 code nostalgia" theme, connecting the promotion to a familiar cultural touchpoint. Running from July 21, the campaign is being distributed across television and streaming platforms in 10-, 20- and 30-second advertising formats.
