Burger King and Friends to Give Away 1,500 Peace Day Burgers on Sept. 21

Burger King officials announced Thursday that they will team up with Denny's, Wayback Burgers, Krystal and Giraffas to give away 1,500 "Peace Day burgers" at a pop-up restaurant in Atlanta on Sept. 21.

The Peace Day campaign was launched last month when Burger King took out full-page ads in the Chicago Tribune and The New York Times calling on McDonald's to join it in a one-day cease-fire in their "burger wars" by collaborating to make a McWhopper (a hybrid of McDonald's Big Mac and Burger King's Whopper). Burger King suggested that the mashup burger could be sold to raise money to benefit Peace One Day, a nonprofit organization campaigning to raise awareness of Peace Day, a United Nations recognized day that will be celebrated on Monday.
