Burger King has shrunk to an all-time low.
It seems as if the burger joint didn’t think they had enough versions of their middle-of-the-road patty when it “invented” its newest product.
Even though BK has a Whopper that can be doubled or tripled, along with a junior version of the sandwich and a smaller cheeseburger that can also be doubled, some marketing guru thought an even smaller burger was necessary.
Normal people like to call this new product “sliders,” but the home of the Whopper went with “BK Burger Shots.”
Kind of catchy and original, huh?
No, not really.
These nano-sized versions of the flamed burger that go through a pea-sized pod shoot broiler before getting microwaved for a whopping nine seconds are even worse than their predecessors.
I’ve never been much of a fan of the King, but when my buddy sent me a message on Blackberry Messenger and insisted I try these shots because they were “better than White Castle,” I had to find out for myself.
Turns out, I’ll never listen to him ever again.
He couldn’t have been more wrong.
While the shots are marketed as “loveable, munchable and shareable,” I would describe them as hateable, quasi-edible and terrible … a disgrace to White Castle and the slider nation.
Oh, and did you hear BK even introduced a line of Breakfast shots?
Don’t even get me started.
If I have it my way, I’m never going back to Burger King again.

:sigh: burger king…what happened to you?!
Rather than calling small burgers “sliders” (or “Slyders” at White Castle), I think “Normal people” don’t talk about them much at all around here. I have eaten far more fast food meals than I should and from what I have seen, small burgers are not nearly common enough here for there to be a particular term in wide local use regardless of what people call them elsewhere.
If I had my way, the Spartan Daily would actually edit for quality instead of just publishing whatever verbal vomit its writers care to splash across paper or pixels under the guise of opinion. Unfortunately, though, the Spartan Daily seems to specialize in half-baked writing and it has been serving up this specialty far longer than Burger King has been serving Burger Shots. And good or bad, at least the little burgers have some meat to them.
