Firsthand Experience
Some customers from Thailand shared their real-world experience with the Black Pink Burgers, reporting that they are are not especially exciting beyond their appearance.
Worse Ideas
To put things in perspective, some users shared their memories of other obscure fast-food promotions, often hinting that they were worse ideas than the Black and Pink Burgers. A few sparked arguments from fast food enthusiasts.
Blackpink
Of course, K-pop fans commented with jokes, memes, photos and videos of Blackpink, assuming that the band was somehow associated with these novelty burgers. So far, there is nothing to indicate that they are.
SpongeBob
Users were quick to relate the Black and Pink Burgers to SpongeBob SquarePants' "Pretty Patties" storyline. As some pointed out, the promotion actually worked out well for SpongeBob himself, but not for Mr. Krabs. They couldn't decide what this would mean for Burger King.
New Fans
Some of Blackpink's most dedicated fans decided to enfold Burger King into their fandom, perceiving this promotion as a tribute of sorts to the band. Others were angry at the fast food chain for not tagging the band in the promotion.
Food Coloring Side Effects
Some users remembered distinct side effects from past fast food promotions using excessive food coloring. They wondered if this time would be similar.
Disgusted
Finally, a fair number of commenters were simply disgusted by the Black and Pink Burgers on sight, and were offended by their very creation. The burgers are available only in Thailand until Feb. 28, 2021.
