Tired of the exercise required to lift a burger to your mouth? Have no fear. Burger King has found the solution.

In celebration of its 50th anniversary in Puerto Rico, the burger chain gave away 50 hands free Whopper holders. Yes, they are exactly what they sound like, plastic burger-holding devices that hang from the neck leaving your hands free to perform all sorts of tasks.

A Burger King-produced video announcing the product shows happy Whopper-eaters using their hands to ballroom dance, practice karate, box, trim hedges, give massages and shoot hoops.

You couldn't make this **** up.

Something tells me that if you were even willing to wear one of these devices, that it would be able to fit around your bulging neck.

ScumLord · 31-05-2013 4:36pm

I don't think that would work too well.

Jonathan Ross made a trilogy of docs about the USA some 20 years ago, the editions were called FAT, DUMB & RICH.

I don't think there is a joke. I have watched colleagues arrive at work with a bucket sized container of coca cola and adjust a range of straws so they can drink away while working on their computers. Yes it was America.

Christ. I hope this is a really late April Fools.

Just need to combine it with a soda-helmet, with your fries to the side, and have staff place the order directly on your head.

The only thing I'm surprised about, is that they brought it out in Puerto Rico first, and not the US.

Awaits the stampede of fatties that will blame "genetics" for their weight

This thread has given me an idea.

Do you think I'd be able to sell nappies to the people who use these things?

Re-name them hands free jaxbags or something similar.

No, it's 'Murrica. Well, in Puerto Rico's case it's more like El 'Murrica.
