the entry reeks flame

i thought i'd never live to tell the tale, but hell yeah, i've managed to stick to my financial rationing for the past two weeks (see previous entry). kudos to that! and who's to say that not all things are possible? 

well, as far as craziness goes, burger king certainly takes the cake. the burger makers have launched a new perfume line, aptly named flame. yes, yes, you heard it right. the experts of grilled patties have even created an official website to promote their baffling olfactory invention and it comes with a cheesy, cramp-inducing tagline, "body spray of seduction, with a hint of flame-broiled meat."

let's face it, people. whoever with even the littlest bit of sanity in this freaking world would want to smell like char-burnt carcass? i hardly find that appealing, let alone beguiling. to put things into perspective, burger king might have had other reasons for developing such an idiosyncratic aroma. maybe, just maybe, the perfume could double up as a marinade as well. so just in case you've run out of barbeque sauce when you're working like a trojan at the pit, instead of going out to get another bottle, you could simply spray a little flame on your marinade, for that hint of flame-broiled meat.

nevertheless, i am a naysayer to such tawdriness. some things just never get old. this one, on the other hand, has had its day the moment i've smelt it.

hey there...

i've heard about this burger perfume. interesting..making me hungry lol...

i guess its a brave new direction in perfumery.. instead of all those floral, spicy scents they choose umm a burger scent. although a secks scent would be more marketable. lol :P

cheers

Your past expenditures reeks of showoff-iness... but its good that can rake in that shopperholic in you!

(anonymous) it's www.flamemeetsdesire.com if i am not wrong.

(kp) i didn't know what secks was and looked it up, apparently it means sex, according to urban dictionary. i learnt something new!

(fufu) yeah. will do. the next treat will be on me. but that is only when you have confirmed your stay in singapore, you jetsetter! jealous!

iruffcookiedough said...

(noise) haha, it's something innovative, but i just don't buy it at all. i am really smoked out by it big time.

(minimach) yeah, it's old news, i am sure you keep yourself abreast of such blase matters that you know so well right.

"showoff-iness" ... hmm, were you trying to look for words like ostentation? maybe a course in british council might help you much?

fufu said...

ostentation? i learn a new word today =D baby your english is damn so good! you can also be a jetsetter definitely, see when can i share the tips with you :)

*ok gotta stop fooling around, i swear i wont use baby anymore*
