What Secret Ingredients are Lurking in Burger King’s New Bacon Sundae?

Not to completely expose myself as a moron here – but I thought companies HAD to post ingredient lists now due to allergy issues. As someone with celiac as well as allergies to everything from nuts to shellfish to (weirdly) bananas… not having everything laid out clearly so I can know if something is going to have me either sick as a dog or scrambling for my epi-pen tends to mean I avoid that business for EVERYTHING. Refusing to post detailed ingredient lists for their items means I won’t even bother stopping to grab a soda when I’m out and about. Yes, I know the sodas are safe from allergens, at least mostly – but the only voice I have to companies is voting with my dollars. I already ~knew~ I couldn’t ~eat~ there (tried getting an order of fries there not too long ago because I had been told they were GF, but when my order came with breaded onion rings mixed in so I don’t even risk food there anymore) but if they won’t post ingredients… I guess they don’t need my soda money either. Irritating to have to knock yet ANOTHER dratted place off the list, but what else can a girl do?

@41113f1235e398c52e2ecbd104ee9ec4:disqus – It’s not about this food item itself, fattie. Anyone who gives a damn about what they put into their body isn’t going to Burger King, let alone shoveling anything that has the slightest hint of bacon/ice cream hybridization; I agree with you there. However, what is important is that foods do have proper labeling because of the largely untested products that are allowed to be put into them before we know what type of adverse health effects they’ll have on the people consuming them years later after repeated ingestion. Allowing one product, such as this grotesque excuse for a dessert, to go by without proper labeling allows for future products to do the same thing. Then you have people suffering from serious health issues. Let’s extrapolate this one step further, when courts overturn future decisions to force proper labeling then the food industry whines a bit more. The courts may very well overturn labeling the products’s place of origin. Ever heard of Mad Cow or any other food-born illness? Yeah, try pinpointing the source of a national problem when the source of the problem (the industry) is the only place that knows where it came from to begin with. And I don’t know about you, but if someone asks me, “Where’s the murder weapon?” I’m going to reply with, “…iunno…” Now let’s take that one step further shall we, this way we can rid the earth of close-minded plagues such as yourself who feel the need to voice their illogical opinions; at least one step at a time anyway. Now the courts have set precedent, and anyone who knows anything about the legal system knows that precedent is a pain because very often, judges tend to stick to it unless it’s drastic. They even refer to precedent of cases quasi-related but not that close. Hydrofracking for example; a process where drilling companies plunge a lethal mix of chemical into the ground in their method of extracting natural gases. We have no clue what these chemicals will do when they reach our water (which we will later consume) or what they’ll do to our soil (which we grow our food on). Not only do we not have any clue what they’ll do, we also have no idea what they are, as they’re not required to tell us what the liquid is made of. Here’s your model of extreme examples- BK > food industry > labeling issues in totality. The hydrofracking may be a bit of a jump (a lot rather) but you see my point. Preventing issues on the small scale prevents issues on the large scale later on.

Further, fattie-mcfatterson, think before you speak. You might be right that people who eat this crap don’t care about the nutritional content or the ingredients. But it’s not always plain and simple. Also there, fattie, why do you use punctuations like periods but don’t capitalize the first letter of your sentences. Nice job.

Lunch break well spent!
