Burger King wants McDonald's to collaborate on the 'McWhopper'

Easy. You are talking about two fast food franchises both loaded with hit or miss items. Burger King is also largely the unhealthiest out of the major three, but that is kind of their angle in the game.

Agreed. The only decent thing about Big Mac is its sauce. So let's just have a Whopper with Big Mac sauce and call it a day.

This actually sounds worthy of a try.

mcdonalds seems salty. no pun intended
Haha, wow, people thinking the Mc reply is salty or passive agressive? I think it is a correct reply.
BK uses their competition and war for their own marketing here. Good business move if you ask me, but McDonalds simply states the facts here. If you truly want to conduct business and create a burger together for goodwill, you approach that company personally instead of launching it into the public.

I'd buy it
True, but McDs could of picked a way better way of saying no than that.
A lot of people in here are taking what BK says at face value and I have no idea why. This is a clear marketing stunt. If they had any actual intention of doing this they'd contact McDonald's first to work out the details.
I mean just look at the event itself. One city for one day? It's clear they did that so that on the off chance McD's does agree they'd only have to pay the minimum amount to host it.
I like Burger King more too but come on.

The problem is McDonald's half-assed the reply. BK came off as fun and thoughtful. McDonald's was one part "cool bro millennial talk" and two parts "corporate killjoy."

I'll try it for shits and giggles and to say I did it, but I can't imagine it being better than a Whopper alone.

The difference in the two brands speaks for itself. BK knows they've got low tier burgers and shit, they embrace it. McD's is still delusional.

This is the beginning of world domination. The king and the clown be scheming.
Wouldn't this be a Big Mac but with better lettuce?

Whopper is amazing.
Big Mac....eh. The sauce obviously is the only thing that stands out.
I'd eat a whopper with the sauce on it. Sure give it to me

Big PR Gaff by Mcdonalds.
What were they thinking writing that tweet, its so contradictory,
"Hey buddy the fast food business is all fun between friends, but fuck you if we are going to jointly create a great product that benefits charity"

...except it's business and not fun. They would look like fools if they agreed to this.

As if anyone gives a fuck. They sell fucking burgers.

Yo, Apple. How about we get together one day to show solidarity. It'll be a Nokia Lumina running iOS! It'll be great. What do you say old chaps?! - Microsoft
OMG!! Yes!!!!!!!!! - Apple

Exactly, "let's make a joint product on peace day" is disrespectful for what the day is trying to represent.
And BK was being disingenuous by doing that in a public ad.

Well obviously but thats a terrible analogy.
$1 consumable fast food item vs $500 electronic device

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
BK had record sales numbers last quarter. McDonald's, not so much.
Actually, that is a terrible analogy.

Something better then nothing for the charities involved I'm sure
True, but it is a great idea with nice visual execution, I mean we clicked on the neogaf link and decided to post so there is something in the idea
The proceeds go to a charity that is literally for world peace. Giant corporations being philanthropic and teaming up with charitable organizations are a great win for society. What's disingenuous? The fact that you negatively connotate "corporation" ? It would only be a good or honest idea if it was some non profit that runs off of volunteers and sells hugs? Those don't make money thats why this is a good idea lol
Don't be a hero hipster
Apple could say no and Microsoft would look like a fool.
If Apple offered, Microsoft could say no and Microsoft would look like a fool.
That's not my point, but sure.

Oh man stop, I'm talking about the Big Mac vs The Whopper and you pull out a comparison about a Nokia Lumiwhat playing iOS - I know this is neogaf but in the wider world only a very small majority would understand that reference.
