Burger King releases meat-scented perfume!
New York, December 17 : Queen Elizabeth has reportedly set yet another example to beat the economic slump by asking her staff to turn off the lights in empty rooms of Buckingham Palace.
According to British news outlets, the monarch is to continue her efforts to show support through recession and had allegedly ordered chefs to reuse leftovers from banquets.
The Royal had previously urged her grandsons to avoid any public displays of extravagance amid growing unemployment and economic strife, reports the New York Post.
The Queen had herself set mindful examples by cutting down her trip costs, recycling old clothing items rather than investing in a new wardrobe and meeting and helping those affected by the hard-hitting credit crunch.
The Royal, during her October state visit to Slovakia and Slovenia, had worn a dress made out of a fabric she received 20 years ago. (ANI)London, Dec 17 : American fast-food chain Burger King has rolled out "Flame," a new men's body spray billed as "the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat."
Not recommended for vegetarians, the barbecue-scented cologne has been introduced just in time for the festive season, reports the Telegraph.
The perfume is on sale for the credit crunch-busting sum of just 2.65 pounds, suggesting the Burger King promotions department has realised their contribution to the fragrance market might work best as a novelty stocking-filler.
Flame was launched this week online and in a selection of US stores - it is sadly no available in the UK, and now even has its own website, the appropriately named firemeetsdesire. com.
The site proclaims to prospective buyers: "The Whopper sandwich is America''s favourite burger," before going on to extol the virtues of a perfume that smells like cooked meat.
"Flame by BK captures the essence of that love and gives it to you. Behold ... now you can set the mood for whatever you''re in the mood for." (ANI)
