WTF? They're dropping the creepy King (what they're known for) and now making guacamole + selling Krystal-sized burgers? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 19, 09:45 1

I figured the character was marketed to kids as it was *strange*. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 19, 09:43 1
- I thought the creepy announcer guy was what made most of the creepiness, though. - con_carne Aug 19, 09:49
Wait, we lose the King and get... guacamole!?! - Michael Aug 19, 09:42 1
