What do you think of this news? Will you be making trips to Burger King later this year to get your hands on some of the offers and merchandise?





















Burger King & Team Jacob/Team Edward crowns? It has happened…Hell has frozen over! What a disappointment.
Burger King & Team Edward/Team Jacob crowns? Does Stephenie Meyers know about this? OMG, I think Hell has just frozen over!!!! And thus is the way of Hollyweird….
I love Twilight so I don’t know why I’m finding this a little cheesy :p
ummm…yeah…i really dont like that idea of burger king & summit together….no pun intended…but that’s really cheesy!
OMG what has happened! I thought that, with all the ridiculous Twilight merch out on the market, i could live with it just if it they didnt put little edwards in Happy Meals. And now, BURGER KING of all companies! Thats like, the equivalent of Hungry Jacks over here isnt it? Its terrible! The most horrid of fast food onslaughts! As many people have said, HELL HAS FROZEN OVER! What will happen next? Get ready for Maccas next…
I don’t know about ya’ll, but I’ll definitely be at my local BK checking things out.
I totally agree, HELL HAS FROZEN OVER!! Burger King crowns with vampires and werewolves on them basically talking here, totally weird and ridiculous. Guess everyone’s trying to cash in on Twilight. I can see the crowns at comic con, but for it to go main stream, ugh!!
Um… weird, but it would be cool to get a New Moon toy in a kids meal or something… Or it would be stupid
I like almost all things Twilight, but I won’t be purchasing gift cards from BK. I like BK, but I just feel weird purchasing a gift card from any fast food place. If they are planning on having other merchandise, I will check it out, but as far as purchasing goes, it will depend on what they get in.
This is getting rediculous.. lol. I mean I’m a huge fan and all, but WTH?! Things are way out of control.. rofl.. I have the books and will have all the movies… and maybe a mousepad. But I don’t know anyone who would want to wear a Team Jacob crown while eating a whopper. XD
I don’t know about everyone else but I am so gonna be there exspecially on Nov. 16 to see what exclusive stuff they have. I like all the pictures they have done with new moon they are so pretty and anything I can grab with those pics on it I will. Ya it is kinda korney that everyone is using the twilight saga to pull in money for themselves but hey if there are diamonds laying on the ground even in the most lavish of neighborhoods people are gonna scoop them up as fast as possible.
YAy! Cant wait…Burger king all month!
