Left-Handed Burger
Burger King announced
a new dish on April 1st 1998.
‘We have a great new item for our menu,’ an advertisement in USA Today claimed. ‘The Left-handed Whopper has been specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans.'
The new product included the same ingredients as the original Whopper - with one important change. ‘We have rotated the burger 180 degrees,’ the company announced. ‘Now our left-handed customers can enjoy the Whopper in even greater comfort.’
Right-handed Burger?
Until this time left-handed
people had not noticed problems eating hamburgers. But
that day thousands of customers had gone into
restaurants to request the new sandwich. And "many
others” asked for their own 'right handed'
burgers.
