Along with the King-less advertising, Burger King is also testing a slew of new menu items in markets across the country.<\/p>\n<p>The test items include an Asian chicken salad with baby edamame, red cabbage, and a sesame lime vinaigrette; mango and mixed berry smoothies; low-fat yogurt berry parfait with granola; oatmeal with dried fruit and maple sugar, vanilla soft-serve ice cream sundaes; a chicken and apple salad with blue cheese; a chicken BLT wrap with bacon and Dijion mustard; and a new premium burger with thick-cut bacon, romaine lettuce, and a spicy pepper grill sauce in between a brioche bun.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a connoisseur of fast food, you probably noticed that many of those items are currently available on McDonald&#8217;s menu.  So copycat, copycat, hope you choke on a rat, Burger King.  Although Burger King did come out with Angus beef burgers before McDonald&#8217;s.   So copycat, copycat, hope you choke on a rat, McDonald&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhoo, it&#8217;s important to note again that all of those items are just being tested and some of them may not make it as a regular item on every Burger King menu board. <\/p>\n<p><b>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/2011\/05\/30\/v-fullstory\/2242557\/burger-king-goes-for-new-look.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Miami Herald<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.burgerbusiness.com\/?p=7421\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Burger Business<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><small><\/p>\n<div xmlns:cc=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/ns#\" about=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/61914949@N00\/4721089924\"><a rel=\"cc:attributionURL\" href=http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/61914949@N00\/4721089924>Image via flickr user Sean Davis<\/a> \/ <a rel=\"license\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nd\/2.0\/deed.en\">CC BY ND 2.0<\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/small> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did Burger King&#8217;s The King freak you out and appear in your dreams robeless to give me&#8230;I mean, you a massage, using his beard to spread massage oil on your back, chest, and your inner thighs?
