Not content with freaking us all out with black burger buns for Halloween, Burger King has now launched Whopper Wine – with the strapline: “fire is what we do best”.

The “Halloween Whopper”, which is available from now until 31st October, will be served in a black bun.
Unappetising, maybe. But Burger King has promised that while it may look scary, the burger will still be tasty, with a “subtle barbecue flavour” infused in the dough. It’s also the flavor, with A.1.
If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know that they’ve been doing these black burgers in Japan for a while. Steak Sauce to bake the Thick ‘n Hearty version of the sauce right into the bread (yielding both the black color and 80 more calories), and they slather the patty in A.1. too.
A little backstory may be in order: past year, Burger King released a Black Burger in Japan, and the bun was colored with squid ink.
