Not great publicity for burger king "your burgers are so bad they made me quit drugs and get sober"

[EllaFallecio]

People get this so wrong. It’s not that the burger tasted bad, it was the drugs that made it taste so bad. Depending on the drugs he was taking can definitely have an impact on taste buds. So it wasn’t the food that was disgusting just the drugs from letting Robert enjoy what he used to love. That’s why he quit.

Such a back handed compliment lol. "Hey BK you cured my addiction"
"Really? Wow! We are very happy to hear that. How?"
"I ate your awful burgers and it opened my eyes at how awful my life is. Thank you"

[truegamer]

it literally took a king to real his pain with one burger

[aldareign]

To clarify, the burger apparently tasted bad because of the drugs and how they’d affected his taste buds/dopamine receptors or some sh*t. Not necessarily cuz the burger was bad. But then again it was Burger King so ya never know.

[obhiozeleobasuyi]

Burger King will always be goated! Idgaf if you talk hate Burger King! I met the love of my life in Burger King. So yeah!

[FizzleFX]

I doubt the burger was bad

The claim that Robert Downey Jr. paid homage to Burger King in the original "Iron Man" movie because a bad burger from Burger King inspired him to get sober is *mostly true* but requires additional context for complete understanding.

The significance of the cheeseburger scene in "Iron Man" (2008) is indeed deeply personal to Robert Downey Jr. It relates to his past struggles with drug addiction​​. [1] In 2003, Downey Jr. had an experience involving Burger King that was pivotal in his decision to become sober. While driving with a car full of drugs, he stopped at a Burger King and had a moment of clarity after eating a hamburger he found terrible​​​​. [2][3] This experience led him to dispose of his stash of drugs into the ocean, symbolizing a turning point in his life​​. [4]

The motif of the cheeseburger in "Iron Man" was suggested by Downey Jr. himself, reflecting the real-life turning point he experienced. This symbolism mirrors the transformation of his character, Tony Stark, in the film​​. [5]

Therefore, the statement is *mostly true* as it correctly identifies the personal significance of the Burger King burger to Downey Jr. and its reflection in "Iron Man." However, it simplifies the context, as the burger itself was not the sole factor in his decision to get sober, but rather a catalyst in a broader moment of realization and decision-making.

Burger King is either a hit or a miss depending on the location. They can be really good or just downright terrible.

I get Burger King ain’t god tier but it really ain’t that bad 💀 I personally enjoy it, although I will agree some of their menu items are shit like the chicken fries and some of their chicken sandwiches
