Burger King’s attempt at inducing nightmares with its latest menu item may have gone a bit too far. The fast-food chain debuted an ad for its Nightmare King Burger on Tuesday, October 16, and it certainly shows the brand is more than ready for Halloween.
Get ready to be seriously envious! Burgers, fries and chicken nuggets are pretty standard fast food offerings in America (and elsewhere) but in many ways, our international friends reign supreme when it comes to creative menu items.

In the ad, BK says it has partnered with the Sleep and Neuro Center in Florida to conduct a scientific study of 100 participants over 10 nights. Each participant was asked to eat an entire Nightmare King Burger before going to sleep, and the quality of their sleep was then monitored by an array of researchers and machines.
After eating the new burger – which consists of a quarter-pound of beef, a crispy chicken fillet, melted American cheese, thick-cut bacon, mayonnaise and onions on a glazed green sesame seed bun – scientists at the Sleep and Neuro Center claim the results showed the incidence of nightmares increased by 3.5 times.
Sometimes food just misses the mark. Sure, it’s necessary to live, but not all foods are created equal. In fact, some man-made creations are just downright bizarre or repulsive, which is why Us Weekly has compiled a list of the foods we wish never existed. Scroll down and take a gander at your own risk!
“I remember hearing voices and people walking around talking. When I would wake up I’d think I didn’t hear the voices,” one participant claimed. Added another: “Someone in my dream turned into the burger. The burger then transformed into the figure of a snake.”
And though it’s doubtful the burger is actually capable of negatively impacting one’s sleep, many social media users are downright spooked by the food item, particularly its bright green bun, which multiple people compared to the patties served on Spongebob Squarepants.

Others suggested the “nightmare” aspect of this sandwich referred to the havoc it would wreak on one’s digestive system. As one Twitter user put it, “I suspect the real nightmare comes several hours after eating this burger + chicken filet + cheese + bacon + green bun.”

the Nightmare King makes me want to throw up in my mouth. A green bun is disgusting.
