Burger King Agrees to Peace Day Collaboration

02-burger-king-peace-box.w529.h529Burger King has introduced it’s proposal for a collaboration with McDonalds last week, and while McDonald’s rejected their proposal many other fast food chains have reached out to Burger King in effort to partner with their Whopper to raise awareness for International Peace Day. Burger King has finally decided to forgo the McWhopper, and instead created a collaboration effort with the companies that have reached out to Burger King- Denny’s, Krystal, Wayback Burgers, Giraffas.

Burger King initially created packaging that contained both McDonald’s theme and Burger King’s but for this campaign, has resorted to a blue box labeled with “PEACE DAY BURGER.” Burger King has released that “Naturally, peace is all-inclusive and open to all…we’d like to build on your individual proposals to collaborate on Peace Day.” The one-day pop up store is already under construction and will be held in Atlanta.

Burger King has released their official offer through their social media platforms like twitter, and within five minutes Denny’s has agreed “we’re in! let’s hash it out over some hash browns.” While other companies have not confirmed their participating in the Peace Day Burger, many are anticipating this event.

Love Calls to Burger King

UnknownAfter Burger King’s proposal to McDonalds for a collaboration burger in efforts to raise awareness to International Peace Day, other fast food restaurants are trying to get their share in the collaboration. McDonald’s has publicly announced that they have no intentions of collaborating with Burger King, but other fast food chains like Denny’s and Krystal are hoping to replace McDonald’s as an alternative collaboration partner. Denny’s has released a video with a potential “Slopper, SlamWhopper etc.,” a combination of the Whopper and Denny’s Bacon Slamburger. Krystal has also released a letter to Burger King, through their social media platforms, suggesting that they can be an alternative to McDonald’s.

However, while Burger King’s collaboration idea was in efforts to raise awareness to International Peace Day, a backfire from McDonald’s and other competitive fast food burger chains wanting to join in on Burger King’s “campaign,” lead to discredit of advocations of peace. The group behind International Day of Peace responded to tweets stating that “We have nothing to do with this ill conceived stunt…neither does peace…” Initially, Burger King’s collaboration proposal brought positive responses from Peace One Day, the organization that they would donate all profit to, as a representative said this type of exposure would increase awareness dramatically.

Burger King has yet to respond to both Denny’s and Krystal.
