Burger King is catering to its customers' moods in its latest launch for Mental Health Awareness Month.
The fast food chain partnered with Mental Health America to create "Real Meal" boxes. When customers order a Whopper meal, their food will come in a box of their choosing. They include the "Pissed Meal," "Blue Meal," "Salty Meal," "YAAAS Meal" and "DGAF Meal," according to a press release.
The intention of the boxes is to pair fast food with mental health awareness, Paul Gionfriddo, president and CEO of Mental Health America said in a statement.
"While not everyone would think about pairing fast food and mental health, MHA believes in elevating the conversation in all communities in order to address mental illness Before Stage 4," Gionfriddo said. "By using its internationally known reputation to discuss the importance of mental health, Burger King is bringing much-needed awareness to this important and critical discussion -- and letting its customers know that it is OK to not be OK.
