Burger King Black Whopper has an unexpected side effect after it’s been eaten.

But the American version, which went on sale for $4.99 on September 28, receives its dark hue from the A.1. steak sauce that’s baked into the bun, a Burger King spokesperson told ABC. People have been taking to Twitter to say the black bun is turning their poop green.
People are tweeting and telling the folks at Burger King about their waste’s unnatural color, a few even saying it was like that for days after eating the Halloween Whopper.
“Yo @BurgerKing your Halloween Whopper turned my poop SUUUUPER green!”
“The spookiest part of the Burger King Halloween Whopper is the fact that it makes your poop ectoplasmic green”. While there hasn’t been a scientific study on the black bun (yet), it’s a no-brainer that the food dye passes right through your body – hence the green poop. For someone who was never able to experiment with the purple or green ketchup of my childhood, the Halloween Whopper is going to be a real experience in growth. These ingredients include FD&C Blue #1 and FD&C Yellow #6, which combined, would give you that blue-green color everyone is seeing.
The flavoring and food colorings used to color the HA.1.®LOWEEN WHOPPER® black bun in the United States, are commonly used in the industry and within the safe and Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
But it’s not just the color, insists Burger King.
