The Burger King Nightmare King Sandwich has been unveiled by the QSR brand as a new sandwich for consumers to pick up this Halloween season when seeking out a ghoulish way to celebrate the holiday.
The sandwich consists of a crispy white meat filet that has been topped with thick cut bacon, American cheese, onions and mayo. The sandwich comes on a green glazed sesame bun to create an unsightly aesthetic that is sure to be a hit amongst adult and kid consumers alike.
The Burger King Nightmare King Sandwich is being touted by the brand as "clinically proven to induce nightmares," which is something of a comical marketing approach that should be taken with a grain of salt.
