BURGER KING HAS proposed an unlikely truce with rival McDonald’s.
The fast food giant took out full-page ads in the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune to ask McDonald’s to join forces for one day only.
To celebrate International Day of Peace, they want to open a pop up store in Atlanta and sell a McWhopper, a fusion of both the chain’s trademark burgers.
They say it will be co-branded and the store should be manned by both staff.
The proposed day is September 21, and all proceeds will go to the Peace One Day. This is how they think it will work:
They wrote on a Tumblr blog
Peace One Day is a non-profit organization campaigning to make Peace Day September 21st an annual day of global unity. They have a powerful rallying call ‘who would you make peace with?’ which inspired us to lead by example and extend an olive branch of our own. We’d like to propose a one-off collaboration between Burger King and McDonald’s to create something special, something that gets the world talking about Peace Day.
Your move, McDonald’s. Make this happen!
UPDATE:
McDonald’s have responded and shot down any chance of this happening. BOO. They write on Facebook:
Dear Burger King, Inspiration for a good cause… great idea.We love the intention but think our two brands could do something bigger to make a difference.We commit to raise awareness worldwide, perhaps you’ll join us in a meaningful global effort?And every day, let’s acknowledge that between us there is simply a friendly business competition and certainly not the unequaled circumstances of the real pain and suffering of war.
We’ll be in touch.
- Steve, McDonald’s CEO
P.S. A simple phone call will do next time.

Screw this peace malarkey. I want to see Ronald McDonald vs the Burger King in a ten round no holds barred bare knuckle boxing match. The KFC colonel can be ref
I want to see the clown bleed.
My money would be on Ronnie, although I reckon the Colonel could take them both out. He’s probably too chicken to fight though.
It would be like the Simpsons….. “stop it, stop it, he’s already dead”
The King has a massive edge; remember, he has Floyd Mayweather in his corner
A mcobese with extra chest pain please
and a diet coke ..
I would most definitely like to taste that. seriously.
srsly?
yep.
Then go buy 1 of each and make it – you have the schematic, FFS.
Thanks Stephen, you sound awesome.
You sound unresourceful.
you’re still awesome.
both there foods taste like mcshit
Sorry but Whoppers are gorgeous.
A McShit is when you have to run in and use their toilets without buying anything. If you’re stopped by staff and questioned, that’s a McShit with lies.
Burger King is far better. Whoppers are so taste
McDonalds are as**oles :( They could have at least pretended to be nice and shown some enthusiasm.
It could have been the greatest burger in the history of burgers, we could have told our grandchildren about it.
Mcheartattack with coke pls.
Behind the scenes both CEOs of each company who possibly came together to create this are laughing with joy over the publicity and attention they’re getting out of this setup.
What about a MightyMac-Whooper………..get your jaws around that one.
tasty…. after a feed of creamy pints
McMuck
Is it worth an hour down the gym though? Hmm…
Nah, just turn it straight to fat, cut out the middle man
I want it NOW
i would eat the fukc out of that!!!!
Good move by bk making the big Mac look like the shit that it is…mcD ceo knows it ! Mike drop !
Seriously please stop eating this poison and buy an apple …
Queue the Rennie-Gaviscon mega tablet to clean out your stomach from this crap..u could shite through the eye of a needle after this one.
A good chipper is where it’s at .. McDonald’s and Burger King wouldn’t fill one’s scrotum .. chicken royale is nice enough though
Ya but did anyone ask Ronald?
When you mix scour with scutter, you still get sh*te.
Sure slop. McDonalds has to do something with their sales falling rapidly since people found out what they were eating after a few documentaries exposed it
You can’t beat a good SuperMac’s ‘Chicken Breast Sandwich Meal’ before or after a few pints – either way, it fills you up for longer than a Mac-King!
have your say
