Burger King Launches Mental Illness Themed "Real Meals" - Sensationalist Headlines

They're doing multiple emotions, so happiness is one of them. "Happy Meal" is taken, obviously. So they instead go down the "how do you do, fellow kids" route and steal the "yaaas" thing.

I am finally close getting my long dreamed of gay retard meal.

I am assuming that each of the actors in the video matches up to one of them, and I imagine that the "Yaaas" one corresponds to the young single mother saying screw you to people who think she can't do it. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the video was actually pretty well done. Yeah, it's not ideal that its a burger kind ad, but that shouldn't stop you from appreciating the genuinely well done video.

Corporations pretending to be people again https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/223991/54a955bd-2ebf-4856-b096-06aedb6cce49/image.png

BK gave me a physical illness the last time I went there so I don't have much faith in them caring about the mental variety.

At the end of the day they're doing this to increase shitty fast food sales. They should be doing this for more noble reasons, no?

Corporations don't really do things for "noble" reasons under any condition. At least there's a side effect of awareness from actions like this.

Yea... I guess you're right. It's not like every person in the video ended their bit with taking a bite out of a plastic sandwich and feeling *better*.

it sure sounds better than acting like this shit doesn't exist like most of the world, idk.

This. My reaction to this is basically just a big mehhhh. Hopefully it does end up play into raising awareness about poor mental health, but at the same time it's just a big soulless corporation doing what a corporation does while in this specific case it happened to align with something that may at best end up doing a little good.

At first I thought it was an Onion thing or a hardtimes.net thing... Nope. Its real. In my own opinion, as someone who suffers from clinical depression, I don't see the problem with it. They're being realistic while bringing awareness to a very down played and "under the rug" problem in the world.

After Citizens United, can you blame them?

Yeah I'll have a #3, large, and a small manic depressive meal, both with a coke

god this is going to flop. Unlike Gen X'ers in the heyday, Millennials don't like being catered to so directly. Jurys out about how Zoomers like being catered, but attempts to humor Millenials like this have historically failed to work

Eating you're feelings has a new meaning I suppose then.

... Grunge was the opposite of that. Thrash and Death Metal going mainstream was the opposite of that. NiN becoming the official band anything not Nirvana covered was the opposite of that. Gangsta rap was the opposite of that. Not sure where you grew up but optimistic flying car future was not the 90s. At all. Maybe your parents shielded you from the outside but the 90s I grew up in had Rodney King, the LA Riots, OJ, George Bush finally getting the fuck out of office and Clinton sort of trying to make things better in a half-assed genteel manner, kind of and a shit ton of gang violence every day and the very obvious beginnings of gentrification that really hasn't stopped even when reaching critical mass in places like New York, Toronto, and San Francisco. Hell in germany the only place your premise really played out like 1:1, the economy tanked super hard due to all that happy harmonious integration influx, making people kinda made and giving rise to music like this https://youtu.be/fksLPwPXQD0

The BK near me advertises that everything is made fresh for your order when you order it.

I'll have a "too fatigued to cook" with a "replacing sleep with sugar and caffeine in a downward spiral".

Just a friendly reminder that corporations aren't people,they don't relate to you,you don't relate to them. though the salty meal is a good idea if you want to troll a person in a speedrun event

Pissed Meal? First foot fungus and now this?

The treatment of mental health as a marketing tool for cut-throat capitalism is disgusting. That said, the aesthetic of those boxes is actually really good and I am on board with that.
