A challenge for the taste buds

No question of making you play “1, 2, 3… Soleil” to get your menu, but you will still have to have the heart to survive one of the burgers Squid Game. The menu Garde Rose will offer to discover a burger “Korean Chicken Steakhouse“ composed of fried chicken and a (very) spicy Korean barbecue sauce. Burger King played the game to the end by offering a pink bun reminiscent of the outfit of the famous henchmen.

For the less daring, the Player menu will propose a Korean variation of the iconic Whopper. It will be an overall classic burger, with the exception of a Bulgogi sauce which promises to “combine softness and intensity“. This menu promises to be more lenient, but some spices will probably be there. If you can't stand anything that stings: good luck. But what would a menu be? Squid Game without a little challenge?

Gifts with every menu

Just like on the occasion of collaborations One Piece et My Hero Academiaeach special menu will be accompanied by collectible goodies. This time, no less than six items will be available during the duration of the event. Burger King and Netflix will offer socks, hats and sweatshirts in the colors of the chosen menu. To simulate the luck factor specific to the series' deadly game, accessories will be awarded randomly with the purchase of a menu. The colors will also be: it will therefore be possible to obtain pink goodies with the Player menu, and vice versa. No need to force yourself to eat super spicy!

But as with every collaboration of this kind: don't forget to avoid waste! It would be regrettable to throw away five burgers just to complete your collection on the big day. Since the collaboration My Hero Academiastocks last for several days or even weeks, preventing scalping and wasting food. But don't wait too long: sweatshirts are likely to be the most popular items.
