Darth vader burger... On a black bun

[Meule]

Nope, only in France. Belgians wouldn't want it, is the reasoning behind it, and I can't blame them, looks like a burnt bun

Just saw an ad on TV for these and Belgium will have the Darth Vader burger as well, just not on a black bun

Dark Vador has always been the French description of our favorite Sith Lord. There are even official early buttons and T-shirts using that name.

As a kid, I still remember once seeing a French Darth Vader figure licensed by Meccano, and wondering why they called him "Dark Vador".
An interesting, if perplexing, name change for the French market.

Wouldn't it be fun if the bun not only looked burnt, but if they put some smoking dried ice around it?
And served by a guy in Emperor's robes:

Emperor: "Eat this, or be destroyed, young Skywalker."
Luke: "No! I'll never eat this!!!!!"
Emperor: "So be it, Jedi!"

I am thinking these were thawed after being frozen in carbonite.

as long as it's not made from Jabba's meat I'm game

Are you kidding?

Jabba would make the best meat...he's just like pork...man...lots of carnitas and bacon from him...hell yeah...I'd rather have Jabba meat than tastless and rubbery Chewbacca or Jar Jar meat...

They used beet root as food coloring. It's all natural, just like they use squid ink to color pasta.
We have Quick fast food chains here in Belgium, but the ad says France.
Let's hope they get it here, too!

I'll investigate!

And for some reason, the Jedi burger reminds me of the asteroid space slug...

I'm going to Quick this week, and I'll let you guys know.
As far as taste is concerned, I have always prefered Quick to McDonald's...

Did someone mistranslate Darth Vader to Dark Vader (looks like officially licensed)? I have a feeling it won't do well. People will associate black with burnt and will make a good case study in a couple of years. Didn't Heinz or some other Ketchup company try making purple Ketchup or some other strange colors? Completely bombed if memory is right.

^^^ Good thing they didn't call the black one a Sith Burger.

For those put off by the black bun, they're also offering a Jedi Burger:

If that bread is Pumpernikel I get it but if it is some artificially colored bread, PASS!

Looks like a cheesburger-center Oreo or that Mayor McCheese joined the Dark Side
