Burger King’s Crypto Koin: A Whopper of an Idea or Just Flaming Nonsense?

by

Ah, Burger King, the fast-food leviathan, has once again dipped its greasy fingers into the bubbling cauldron of cryptocurrencies. Like a moth to a flame, or perhaps a Whopper to a fryer, the company seems perpetually drawn to the siren call of digital coins. In 2023, its Parisian outpost began accepting Bitcoin, as if to say, “Oui, we are très moderne!” Yet, the crown jewel—its own crypto—remains elusive. 🍔💎

Today, in a move that can only be described as either genius or sheer lunacy, Burger King UK took to X (formerly Twitter) to poll its loyal subjects. The question? Whether it should birth a new cryptocurrency, aptly named “Burger Koin.” Because, of course, the world needs another meme coin. 🙃

This isn’t the first time Burger King has flirted with the crypto crowd. In 2023, the same account stirred the Dogecoin community by responding to a tweet from a prominent crypto influencer. The reply? “We need DOGE.” As of February 2025, Burger King now accepts Bitcoin in the Netherlands, Germany, and Venezuela. Brazil even hopped on the DOGE bandwagon in 2021, though the UK remains stubbornly resistant. 🌍🐕

So, will Burger Koin rise like a phoenix from the ashes of failed crypto projects, or will it fizzle out like a soggy fry? Only time—and perhaps the whims of the internet—will tell. Until then, let’s all just enjoy our Whoppers and pray that our wallets remain unscathed. 🙏🍔
