Burger Wars
Talk, , 05 January 1999
The Burger Wars are building to a fat filled frenzy. Of course we’ve seen many a greasy gristle grapple before, resulting in the demise on these shores of Wendys – whose final stores closed here last year – sorry Dave. In the past we’ve seen chains mutate in an attempt to escape the big boys shadow – can anyone one remember when Wimpys was a fast food chain? (they still serve the same coronary fodder as before, only now you sit and wait, and wait). Forget Starburger, the battlezone belongs to those colossi of the meat emporium, BK and MaccaD’s. The war heated up recently when Burger King introduced the ‘people prefer BK’ campaign. King fries made quite an impact, and people still go moist eyed when reminiscing about the 99p Whopper. However, at the Notting Hill branch on Sun the 7th. McDs launched a counter attack. They actually employed someone (most probably the same guy who also does the golf sales) to stand in front of BK with a McDs logo pointing toward their store a few shops distant and expound just how good McDs grub truly was, all to the detriment of the BK manager guarding the entrance. Obviously the psychotic clowns not taking it lying down anymore – he’s taking it to the very doorstep of the enemy! Top Home
