Burger King Hilariously Trolls McDonald’s With Epic Halloween Prank – You Won’t Believe What They Did!
In 2016, Burger King pulled off one of the most clever and humorous Halloween stunts in the fast-food world, dressing up as their biggest rival – McDonald’s! The prank left many customers amused and social media buzzing.
The witty gag involved wrapping a Burger King location in a giant ghost costume resembling McDonald’s. As seen in the viral images, the “ghost” costume had “McDonald’s” written across it, but in a clever twist, Burger King added some spooky flair with a sign that read, “Booooooo!!!! Just kidding, we still flame-grill our burgers. Happy Halloween!”
But the fun didn’t stop there. Burger King even disguised their signature Whopper burgers, placing them in packaging labeled “McDonald’s,” keeping the joke alive from outside to inside the store. It was a playful poke at McDonald’s branding, while simultaneously promoting Burger King’s own flame-grilled cooking method.
One hilarious social media comment joked, “Did they tell people the ice cream machine was broken too?” – referencing the all-too-common joke about McDonald’s notorious ice cream machine issues.
This prank wasn’t just about competition; it was a perfect example of Burger King’s ongoing playful rivalry with McDonald’s. The Halloween prank drew attention from fans of both chains, blending humor with a reminder of Burger King’s flame-grilled advantage.
Burger King has a history of creative and bold marketing strategies, and this particular Halloween stunt stands out as one of their most memorable moments. It wasn’t just a costume—it was a full-blown roast with a side of Whopper flame!
If you missed out on the fun back then, this iconic prank remains a classic example of how businesses can use humor to capture attention and keep their audience entertained.
