The "hands-free" whopper!

Hands-free Whopper unveiled in Puerto Rico



Is a hands-free Whopper really necessary in the world? Apparently so, and Burger King has turned that dream into a brand new reality.

To celebrate fifty long years in Puerto Rico, Burger King has unveiled its latest marking gimmick—a Whopper that doesn’t require your actual hands to eat it.

How does this work, you might say? Simple. A pristine white contraption sits around your neck like a necklace. Below the chin is a holder in which the Whopper rests, facing up to your mouth.

Placing the Whopper inside, you can—quite literally—eat your Whopper hands-free.

In the ad for the hands-free Whopper, we see shots of busy people who, apparently, have no time to sit down and eat hamburger. From elderly people walking in the street to musicians using both hands to play the guitar, the hands free Whopper is depicted as a massively necessary and relevant little device.

The video also has more scenarios in which you might need such a handy contraption. Things like trimming the hedges with both hands, tattooing art on someone’s body with both hands, dunking a basketball with both hands, or boxing—yes, boxing inside a ring—with both hands.

In all, the hands free Whopper ad looks completely like something you’d see on “Saturday Night Live.” So the fact that it isn’t, and that it’s indeed real, makes the video that much more amazing to behold.

You wouldn't really want to, the concave cavity at the back becomes a catch-all for all the sauce and juice and leaves any remaining bread a saturated, inedible mess. You just throw out the last few bites. One could argue that this device is "healthy" in that it transforms your 700 calorie burger into a 600 calorie burger.
I'm the mistake you wanna make

It covers half of the burger, so I'd argue that it's super healthy!

How about a tube that attaches to our dicks and pee in it and the pee goes to the toilet. Maybe they can invent one for shit as well...

Humans are so lazy confused pick that fucking whopper up and eat it with your hands! it is probably the only lifting some people will do for months.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener
