in the mainstream media. Yesterday, it was a hot story on alternative news media and, as is typical, it has taken about 24 hours for mainstream media to notice that there's a cool story that will sell erectile disfunction medications and car insurance from Progressive. Expect this to be the teaser on the national and local TV news this evening.
Once that happens, Burger King will announce that they are ceasing sales of their Halloween Whopper, no doubt.
All of the interesting stories seem to break on internet media these days.

figured it was just same old Whooper with a black bun- Is there something extra special inside!

(146,308 posts)the green dye used in the black coloring for the bun survives the digestive tract and gives your poop a nice space-alien green color. This has caused considerable surprise and consternation among loyal Burger King fans. Trips to the ER are involved, along with extreme anxiety and hypochondria.
It's a huge, smelly story, and will allow mainstream media to use the word "poop." They'll be overjoyed.

I remember I had a post probably 10 years ago asking about floaters vs. sinkers that got locked LOL
CNN barely was able to cover the proper meaning of SANTORUM

MineralMan
(146,308 posts)Posting photos of bodily function products are against the DU TOS.
However, the green effect is completely harmless, so if you want to indulge in a Black-Bun Whopper, feel free to experiment. You can report back on the exact color tomorrow. But, act quickly. BK will be pulling those buns very soon, if they have not already done so.
As for myself, I do not feel the need for a Whopper today, and won't have time. I'm installing a dog door in my kitchen wall this morning so the dogs can go in and out to our fenced backyard to deposit their blessings on the grass. My wife is ecstatic, since taking the dogs out is her job, by choice. When the MN weather is below zero, she has discovered that it is not a job to relish.
So, despite my reluctance, I am cutting an opening through the wall and installing a dog flap. I approach this job with some considerable trepidation, and I don't need a green poop incident to add to my anxiety about such a task.

(36,286 posts)I'm assuming you have a fenced yard.
My beagle/shepherd cross enjoys using the flap to run out into his pen to bark for 10 minutes each night.
MineralMan
(146,308 posts)I had to go through a wall, first. Drywall on the inside, vinyl siding on the outside. Then, I had to build a raised outdoor platform and a set of steps for the dogs, so they have a stable, dry place to step out and get down to ground level. The inside floor of our house on the back wall is 24" above the grade.
Three hours seems about right, really. It all looks great. I still have to caulk the outside trim, but that's no big deal. I'll use expanding foam to handle the contours of the siding.
And yes, the back yard is fully fenced, but there's no door on the back of the house, hence the need for the dog flap.

(10,164 posts)Hell, I usually keep a pescatarian diet (I wonder if they'd use those buns on a fish sandwich if I asked?), but I have to try one, just for the goth-y novelty.
And for green poop...

(62,444 posts)They're not particularly good, and I can't say that it has enhanced my general well being this afternoon.
The A-1 sauce is weird.
zappaman
(20,606 posts)Since we always bought shitty cuts of meat, it helped.
Haven't had it in years though...
jberryhill
(62,444 posts)A-1 is like an Americanized jerk.
nc4bo
(17,651 posts)I guess they thought no one would notice the A-1 sauce is missing something really important.
jberryhill
(62,444 posts)It's the SHADE of green which is quite remarkable.
I woke up this morning, not quite conscious of what I had for lunch yesterday, and... glory be, there it was.
This is the closest shade I found in a quick search:

(20,606 posts)That's pretty cool.

(2,061 posts)You could have said:
...the story is about to drop...
...the story is about to plop...
...the story is about to squirt out...
But you took the high road; why is 'poop' in the title again?
MineralMan
(146,308 posts)a green dye that is not neutralized by the human disgestive process, so it passes through unchanged. Alarming, perhaps, but harmless.

(101,316 posts)OK, technically 'stern', not 'rear':
The name originates from the French word for stern, la poupe, from Latin puppis. Thus the poop deck is technically a stern deck, which in sailing ships was usually elevated as the roof of the stern or "after" cabin, also known as the "poop cabin". In sailing ships, with the helmsman at the stern, an elevated position was ideal for both navigation and observation of the crew and sails.

(10,164 posts)Green poop probably doesn't even nudge the needle on the Japanese weird-o-meter.
Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)The Japanese burger kings use food-grade charcoal as a coloring agent in their kuro buns. American burger kings use black food dye, which, in reality is a very, very dark green dye.
frylock
(34,825 posts)I was looking forward to trying one of these very metal burgers. Of course, many of the BKs in my area have shut down. I think that there are only two left now.
Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)It's not harmful, so... what, are people trying to match their shit to their wardrobe? No bright-colored feces after labor day? Weird.

Way to go, BK! You still reign in my world!
