Tasty or terrifying? Burger King unveils black Halloween Whopper

ExploreTrending on Facebook

Burger King is officially bringing a black burger, similar to one of the menu items in its restaurants in Japan, to the United States.

Unlike the Japanese version, which is made black with squid ink, the American version’s pitch black bun has the added bonus of being slathered in steak sauce.

Dubbed the "A.1. Halloween Whopper" (or Ha.1.Loween Whopper, per FastFoodWatch), the new burger is made with a beef patty topped with melted American cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, pickles, onions and, of course, A.1. Steak Sauce.

The new Whopper’s black bun gets its distinct color by baking steak sauce directly into the bread — no squid ink necessary.
