Last year, all eyes were turned on the Japanese franchise of the second biggest fast food chain in the world, as there was a major release of Burger King buns (as well as cheese) that went viral in the rest of the world, as the dish, called the Kuro Burger, was colored in black - and now it's coming to the U.S.!
One year after the black Burger King buns became viral all over the world, the U.S. headquarter has announced they'd be coming to the country to celebrate the spookiest holiday of them all, Halloween - but many are skeptical to try it out.
According to Tech Times, after rumors of the black Burger King buns reaching the U.S. circulated for a few days from an excited report that first appeared on Reddit, the chain has officially confirmed the news that the nightmarish burger will be arriving in the U.S.
Unlike the Kuro Burger, which had black cheese from being dyed with squid ink, the American version will only feature black Burger King buns, so it'll be considerably less creepy in nature than its Asian counterpart.
As Paper Magazine reports, the black Burger King buns sandwich's official name is the "HA1loween Whopper" (because the buns are dyed black with A1 steak sauce) and it'll be available starting right now all over the country to honor the beginning of the scariest month of the year, Halloween-y October.
"Our U.S. guests have been extremely curious about the bun flavors they've seen introduced in Japan and other countries, so we saw the opportunity to bring them an equally unique experience," said BK's North America Chief Marketing Officer Eric Hirschhorn in a press release. "We tailored the flavor of the black bun to the American palate with A.1. sauce, a flavor this country loves, and we're delivering it in a way that's never been done before by baking it into the bun. It may look Japanese but it tastes like America."
Try the black Burger King buns this year - if you dare!
