Unfriend 10 People on Facebook, Get a Free Whopper

Posted by Robyn Lee, January 8, 2009 at 10:00 AM

In the continuing saga of Burger King's questionable marketing campaigns, Burger King is now offering a free Whopper if you unfriend 10 people on Facebook. Use the WHOPPER® Sacrifice application on Facebook to get started. Maybe you have 10 Facebook friends you don't care about. Or join forces with other random Whopper lovers and use each other just to get a coupon for a free Whopper.

If you think you can quietly snip away at your friend's list without anyone noticing, Burger King is one step ahead of you. Platforms Optional points out that Burger King's application will send notifications to the people being unfriended, unlike Facebook's normal unfriending process. Have fun eating your free Whopper of Facebook friend betrayal! [via So Good]

FYI, unlike when you normally delete a friend on FB, if you do a Whopper sacrifice the victim *will* receive a notification... saying that they were sacrificed for a burger.

@Big B: Yup, I mentioned that in my post. :) BK wants to make sure your sacrificed friends feel the pain.

Hrmm my reading comprehension skills leave something to be desired.

You know, as much as I love Facebook - and I'm a boomer, not a high-school kid - there's this whole regression to 7th grade air about it that I find quite disturbing.

I suddenly feel the need to friend people so I can unfriend them for a whopper. Blahahahaaaa...

If you wear that "Flame" cologne, people will unfriend you.
