Shown above is Burger King's contribution to the Shrek 2 hooplahrgh, a Kid's Meal with one of eight different free Shrek toys (I got a watch, shaped like Donkey's head), your choice of the usual crap food, and if so desired, a green-dyed cherry limeade Shrekky Icee monstrosity. Unbelievably enough, this is only the second official Shrek 2 slushie seen thus far -- 7-11 had theirs first. Burger King was never known for setting the trends, but that might just be the pissyface inside me talking. I still haven't forgiven them for discontinuing production on those neat paper crowns.
Next up, Dunkaroos: Shrek Edition. You know the Dunkadrill. You've probably seen some of the older commercials with an Aussie roo dunking and rooing. Chances are, you've eaten some Dunkaroos. Small crackery cookies arrive alongside a just-generous-enough helping of Don't You Dare Call It Cake Icing, and now it's Shrek's turn to feel the glories.
The cinnamon graham cookies come in assorted Shrek shapes -- his head, his initial, his girlfriend, DONKEY, and something that looks like a dragon but I can't say for sure because I still haven't seen either of his movies. The frosting is vanilla, with rainbow sprinkles. The sprinkles explain Shrek's giant smile. Shrek does love his sprinklinies.
Finally, here's something a little stranger than Shrekaroos and slushies. HAIR.
"Crazy Hair" is a new kind of candy from the Lucas Company, and though Shrek seems to be the biggest part of their global takeover, he's by no means the only recognizable character gracing the bottle tops. Basically, you pull off Shrek's torso, turn the makeshift dial on the bottom, and slowly, candy strands ooze out of several holes on top -- just like hair! It's vile tasting stuff ("Swampy Sour Green" is the flavor), but I guess I can see the attraction. Just to drive the point home that Crazy Hair is crazy, there's a big picture of an irrelevant cartoon duck plastered on the tube. Not much more to be said. It's disgusting, and it's candy.
I passed up on a can of official Shrek 2 Silly String. In retrospect, I should've bought it. Just so I could say I did. Maybe I could just lie about it.
No More Shrek.

See, that candy is a rip off. Wouldn't it be more fun to have the candy grow out of Shrek's head?? It's not really "hair" if it's just growing out of a random yellow tube...stupid candy designers.

that hair candy reminds me of the old ghostbusters slimer gum that came in a tube. that stuff was terrible, too.
i haven't seen the movie because i'm already so sick of seeing all this shrek crap. at least when it's on x-e it's clear how much lunacy has gone into this marketing campaign.

That Puss bobblehead is cool, it's got glow-in-the-dark eyes! My kid loves to pull the head off it and stretch the spring, go figure...
The BK in my town has the Shrek inflatable head and hands strapped to the roof, if you want a photo I can get one this weekend... Wonder what they'll do with them once the promotion is over. That'd make one kick-ass decoration at Halloween, a huge Shrek strapped to the roof of your house!

Chestnuts roasted by JoeCanuk @ 06/10/2004 10:59 AM EST
That Crazy Hair candy has been around for a long time. Lucas used to make pretty much only Mexican candies, but recently they've started Americanizing with flavors that don't include tamarind. And I don't think it's a duck--it's got a hooked beak, instead of a bill. I'd think someone with your love of animals would know that, Matt...
Chestnuts roasted by Freezair @ 06/10/2004 11:15 AM EST
I guess I just adhered to the unspoken rule: if the fowl wears sunglasses, it must be a duck.
The label mentions tamarind, btw.
Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/10/2004 11:21 AM EST
Tamarind, hee! Mr. Trajeal bought some Spanish Koolaid, tamarind flavor. I looked it up online, and apparently, tamarinds are used in Mexico for constipation. FYI, and all that. You never know when you might be in need of some cleaning out.
I think that's a road runner on the Hair Candy. He's albino and that's why he needs sunglasses, to protect his pink irises.
Speaking of albinos, has anyone else here ever read "Geek Love"? I just finished it - highly recomended. It's about a carnival family who breeds their own human freaks for their sideshow acts. They've got an albino hunchback dwarf, a seal/aqua boy, siamese twin girls and one "norm" boy. Well, he looks normal, anyway. I bet you'd like it, kingklash.

Chestnuts roasted by Mugzy. . . @ 06/10/2004 12:34 PM EST
Well, we don't get the crowns here no more. 
I think it's part of a mass overhaul on the general way all the BKs look in this area. The crowns were just one of many changes that took the King out of Burger KING.
Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/10/2004 12:37 PM EST
I haven't seen the paper crowns myself in about 10 years. I live in Michigan, and they have been missing state wide for about a decade.
On a side note, anybody remember the "Table Service" BK was offering for while about 10 years ago? You would order nasty food, be given a number, and would go sit. Then they would bring the food to your table. You could eat Popcorn while you waited. I remember Dan Cortez pimping the service on his BK spots back in 93.

No, I still don't see nearly as much trash for Spider-Man 2. Shrek's got a record going. Sadly, I bet a future movie will break that record by having even MORE products. I don't know how, but they'll find a way.

I dont have the BK crowns in my area either. I miss them very much because I now longer feel like I rule over my meal. Sure, my court consisted of a whopper and some artery-clogging fries, but I was KING.
Chestnuts roasted by pulseczar @ 06/10/2004 01:02 PM EST
Last time I was in a BK, we had the crowns (and I'm in Michigan). Sure, things could have changed in that year, but they had them relatively recently. I've got one on top of my shelves. I love the crowns...
I really should check to see if we still have them.
Chestnuts roasted by Rainbowfeet @ 06/10/2004 01:50 PM EST
Think I might just find and read "Geek Love" if only just for the name. The Lucas bird might be a loon or a parrot, but most importantly, in the TV ads, he raps with a Latino accent! But he does look like a "Duck Tales" villain.

And Matt, what's the expiration date on that Crazy Hair stuff? I think you should pull it back out then (or ten years from now, as is your tendency) to see how well it fares over the years... oh, and leave it in your car during the waiting period... that should make things interesting.
Chestnuts roasted by Nachokhaki @ 06/10/2004 03:52 PM EST
Tamarind, to my horror, is used in almost everything. Well, tamarind extract anyway.
The grocery store I go to every so often had resorted to making all of their employees wear Shrek ears (or whatever they are) for the sake of a dollar. Thankfully it's over now, but it's still sad to see so many people forced to sell their souls to an animated green ogre just to keep their jobs.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/10/2004 04:03 PM EST
I have an anecdote regarding those Burger King crowns they used to distribute. I was four years old and I was a lamb in the manger's scene at the town church (where my father had been pastoring at the time). One day, my family went to Burger King and my dad snagged a buncha those crowns, which really sparked my curiosity. What could he be using those crowns for? Anyway, the dress reheasal came around, and I noticed something about the crowns for the wisemen. They were nothing but Burger King crowns decorated with glitter and crap. Talk about a cheap church. Another funny thing was that when the curtain went down, I continued to try and look under it at the audience. As for me, I was mostly running around on the stage and out to my mother in the audience and crap, and no one seemed to even care. Hell, as the curtain was going down, I continued to try and look underneath it at the audience until I was lying on the floor of the stage. And I know what you're thinking. Typical four-year-old, right? Wrong. I can honestly say that all the other four-year-old lambs on that stage were standing there nicely, not doing a damn thing.
The enxt time I played a lamb was when I was six at a different church. I distinctly recall getting really annoyed with this one girl who couldn't have been more than three or four years old. All the other kids were trying to shut her up, but she kept wanting to know who was playing baby Jesus. Jesus was being played by a fucking doll. Stupid kid.
Chestnuts roasted by Nate @ 06/10/2004 04:11 PM EST
Okay, so maybe I rambled on and on a bit there, but it's true. I remember most of it, and my parents confirmed it and even told me about the whole cutain thing, which I did not remember.

and then she wouldn't wear one with me into prom. I was sad.

There are still crowns at the burger king in my city. They've always had them. But the bad part is that we only have one burger king in the entire city. We used to have like 3 or 4 but they all went out of business.

Lucas's a duck. we've always seem him as a duck, starting from his humble origins here, selling dusted chili as a seasoning. now he 's a SELLOUT. meh. even the candy hair idea he stole from another product here. back in the old time, the old product, non made by lucas, would have different characters for you to grow tamarind hair.
And tamarind grows in trees as a pod, and does help lots with constipation.
Chestnuts roasted by Zefiel @ 06/10/2004 04:41 PM EST
Is tamarind subjectively or objectively disgusting?

Hey Matt, whilst I was browsing the local KB Toys store I noticed something. It was a Hostess Treats Baking oven, so you could make like..twinkies and shit, but not real ones just those "There as close to twinkies as well let you get" kinda. Anyway Shreck shit is still going strong here, also at the KB was one of those large dancing talking figures, theyc ome in various celebs like Rocky and so on. Only it was Shrek. Blahr.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!! MATT!!! READ THIS!!!!!
Strange but true: TV Guide is COMPLAINING about the Shrek Crap! Taken from the weekly "Cheers & Jeers" in the June 13-19 edition of TV Guide:
"JEERS to DreamWorks for trying to sqeeze too much green out of "Shrek 2." Don't get us wrong, we liked the movie, but we could have done without the promotional tie-ins with Burger King, Pepsi, General Mills, Baskin-Robbins, Dial, M&Ms, Hewlett-Packard, Hasbro, Activision and the U.S. Postal Service. This seems like an egregious case of ogre-exposure."
Yep, you're heard it. There is TV Guide, kicking and screaming amongst the ever growing pile of Shrek Crap. Hope you're happy to read this turn of events, Matt.

POKEMON mighty beans at KB toys. Pokemon is mispelled in the description.
Chestnuts roasted by Ramus @ 06/11/2004 12:18 PM EST
The Pokemon MBs are a great idea. I was happy to see TMNT get the treatment, but in looking over the checklist...it couldn't have been much fun for kids (or us, the eternal losers) to collect. Too many variations on the four heroes in different outfits. I'm glad they made 'em, but yeah.
Pokemon, though -- that's perfectly suited for MB. As is Simpsons, which are coming out shortly if they haven't already. I suspect the Simpsons beans to be huge sellers only based on the amount of adult nuts who'd go for 'em . Pokemon's merchandising strength has inarguably dwindled since the days where I could head to a toy store and pick one of any number of Bulbasaur toys, but hopefully the MB connection will keep 'em strong.

Not that I plan to drink it or anything. Ick. But it is a pretty blue...
Chestnuts roasted by Susan @ 06/11/2004 04:29 PM EST
I'm kinda surprised by the lack of crowns. I went to BK just a few days ago, and on the tray liner, they had a bucnh of crap, calling it the BK Bill of Rights. It had shit like "You have the right to eat fries witrh mayo, mustard, ketchup, or BBQ...or all of them."
The one that makes me surprised by the lack of them was "You have the right to wear a paper crown and be ruler of (insert make-believe kingdom here)". If they are still printing that, they should still make the crowns. Maybe the adults seeing that gave them a renewed sense of nostalgia and they took all of the crowns...
And Susan...what is it going to cost me to get that bottle of Pepsi Blue? I am so desperate to get some...I asked the guy that takes our Pepsi order at work to hunt some down for me...he has had no luck thus far...
Chestnuts roasted by OmegaZEROCustom @ 06/11/2004 05:46 PM EST

If you can get some, let me know what it'll cost me and I'll have the money on it's way to you.

If you can't find a crown at BK, as long as you know some basic origami, you can alwys have the correct headgear. I know not only the Samurai helmet, but a Egyptian-style crown, a beanie-type, and a multi-type that can be made from newspaper that can become a Bishop's hat. Last time we were at the King, I would have made one for Little Brother, but he would have just gotten mad with power and most likely try to bless the food as it hit the counter. he's gooy like that. But, he did find somebody to marry him, so it must count for something.
Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 06/11/2004 06:00 PM EST
In Australia, Burger King is called "Hungry Jack's." (Or at least it was when I was there - presumably because of copywrite infringement or something). Anyway, you could still get a BK Crown - labelled as a Hungry Jack's crown - which made no sense. It has nothing to do with Jack, or Hungry, and "Hungry Jack's" has no monarchistic associations for Australians (who've never heard of it as BK), and I think Australia renounced the monarchy or something too... so it was very strange. We kicked around the bars of Surfer's Paradise, wearing our Hungry Jack's crowns with pride.

Can't you guys just get Blueberry Crush? That's all Pepsi Blue was, except maybe caffeinated; unlike Wild Cherry Pepsi (woo-hoo!) or Pepsi Twist, where they just have a twist of fruit-flavour, Pepsi Blue didn't even taste like Pepsi at all, so I didn't see the point of it at all, and I'm glad it's gone.
I wish they'd come out with the limited-edition Orange and Raspberry 7-Up flavours (no, not together) again; that stuff was the best 7-Up I've ever tasted.

Well, the crowds have left and the dust has settled (I live in Simi Valley, where President Reagan is resting, and it's been CHAOS around here) and life can go back to normal. Last night was my 21st birthday and I went to a bar to celebrate. I came home with many quarters worth of stupid Shrek toys from the vending machine. I didn't even want the stupid things, and even as I was pumping quarters into the damn machine I was cursing your name for implanting the "Collect all the Shrek promotional crap" bug into my brain. Still haven't seen Shrek 2, though I do have a talking Puss In Boots plushie on it's way from Amazon (thanks to Gabby for mentioning it here on the blog!). I liked Shrek okay when I finally saw it, (I think you'd like it too Matt, just not love) but not enough to go see Shrek 2 until I've seen Harry Potter about 6 more times.

It was actually pretty good. There is definitely a lot of adult humor mixed in with the silliness for the kids. I think I liked it better than the first, but I also had about a dozen beers in me before I saw this one, so I'm probably not the greatest judge.
Hell, give me a case of Coors and sit me down in front of Freddy Got Fingered and I'll laugh my ass off.

We still have BK Crowns here in Kansas. I had no idea they were taking them away.
I have a question. Where did you get those Dunk-a-roos? My friend and I searched 5 grocery stores and found none. I was wondering if you could shed some light on this subject.

I don't know if our BK has them anymore or not -- I've all-but-boycotted them since they discontinued the 2/99¢ tacos. Those things were da bomb.
Now the only time I go there is if that's where someone else wants to go, which is next to never.

Cereal, fine. Color-changing popcorn, ok. Slurpee flavours, still tolerable.
I have seen the face of death, and it resides on I-95 about an hour outside of Naperville.
A billboard. For Mancow. With Shrek's face in place of Mancow's, and a goatee and hair drawn on.
I pray for the apocalypse.
