I have no idea, but it really creeps out my wife. She really dislikes it. I have to say i am not a fan of it either – Funny though I have a hard time remembering the previous ad campaign. “I think it was hold the pickles hold the lettuce special orders don't upset us”. Inane, but at least it wasn't creepy. At least that is the one I remember. There might have been another.

Yeah, exactly what is it about that Burger King dude that is so creepy? Not sure what, but it sure is something…

I can actually say – I never had to work fast food. Personally, I don't eat it so it does not bother me when they close. I think we would go a long way to decreasing obesity in this country if it were not available.

I don't know about anyone else but the bk dude creeps me out – I think the spongebob/sir mix alot commercial is offensive and the bk king dude should be discarded. I say this as a fan of Spongebob too.

I was craving a BK burger on Friday and was in the West Erie Plaza region & discovered BK was closed….so I huffed it on up to Peach St., since a Whopper JR. was heavy on my mind and the gal who took my drive thru order (and who has been with them for 12 yrs at a non manager level) said that the BK had been closed for 2 wks now since she had worked at that local…..there is still a BK on 26th & Peninsula if you are going the right direction to pull into that place and I think there is still one out in Fairview, but that is it for BK folks. Kind of sucks for people who don't care for McDonalds any more.

For my teen years, I had worked at the Pizza Hut that I think is now a Mexican Restaurant across from the BK on Peach St., and I had worked at Elby's Big Boy where Walhgreens is now, at the intersection of Cherry & Peach St….I even worked the Big Boy's restaurant location they had in the Millcreek Mall. Remember those icecream & cake desserts they had with fudge poured all over them? Wow were they a treat & a tummy full!!!

One fast “food” (a term used very loosely) joint down, how many millions to go?

I worked at a Roy Rogers when I was in high school. To this day I still wash my face once during the day because of the thought of grease.( we did fried chicken there too) I remember my my complaining when i drove her car to work ( normally I rode my bike) that the steering wheel was slippery. ewwww…
