Burger King Cologne

Last Weekend Burger King Released a new body spray called flame . My first reaction is that this thing is a PR stunt but if its real I will be very surprised. The Website is actually really good marketing using a combination of music and traditionally romantic imagery ....

Except for the picture's of the King using his own "product" seductively.

The cost is 4 dollars and while I doubt its as good as other colognes such as Issey Miyake or Gucci II (my current personal favorites) this thing might sell more units based on traffic to generated by shoppers at burger king alone.
