Burger King proposes McDonald's truce for 'McWhopper'
Published in Weird News
ATLANTA (UPI) -- Fast food chain Burger King is lobbying rival McDonald's to set aside the "burger wars" for a single day to create a McWhopper sandwich in the name of peace.
Burger King, which is pitching the team-up with a McWhopper.com website and a YouTube video, is asking McDonald's for a one-day team-up Sept. 21 to sell McWhopper sandwiches at a pop-up in Atlanta, halfway between the two companies' respective headquarters.
The company said the McWhopper pop-up would serve as a promotion for Peace Day, a Sept. 21 observance being championed by global unity group Peace One Day.
The proposed McWhopper sandwich would include ingredients from Burger King's signature sandwich, the Whopper, and its McDonald's counterpart, the Big Mac.
"Let's end the beef, with beef," Burger King said in the proposal.
