UGH. My quest for a free Angry Whopper has become a drawn out affair, no thanks to Burger King, which seems unwilling to hold up its end of the bargain. After four weeks had gone by since I’d dropped ten friends from Facebook as per the rules of the promotion, I decided to call up Burger King headquarters to find out where the EFF my Angry Whopper was. I spoke to a lovely woman named Wilmarie, who informed me that the mistake would be rectified and that Burger King would be sending me a coupon right away. At last, it seemed like I’d be making headway. I then spent the next seven days furiously checking my mailbox hoping that maybe, just maybe this Angry Whopper saga could be put to an end.
WELL. Today, I was delighted to see an unassuming envelope from Burger King sitting in my mailbox. Ahhhh… sweet, sweet victory. I was so excited that I almost blasted off a mobile “tweet” right then and there to proclaim my joy at having finally received a free Angry Whopper. But then I opened up the envelope, and inside was a generic apology letter — no surprise there — and a coupon for one free… Whopper. Not an Angry Whopper, mind you. Just a regular, run-of-the-mill, emotionally neutral Whopper. Normally, this would be ground for celebration and tears, but alas, I now find myself in a bizarrely awkward situation: should I be grateful for what I have and simply enjoy my free burger in peace? Or should I demand the specific bounty which I am owed? I feel ungrateful for complaining, but I also feel cheated by sitting here quietly. What say you, oh readers from the Internets?
In the meantime, I will try to use the coupon to score the Angry Whopper. After all, “Whopper” might just be an umbrella term, in which case… never mind!

Woo?
Does it say no angry whopper allowed? I mean, WHOPPER is in the title of the desired sandwich, and Burger King, afterall, wants you to have it your way?!
I say order yourself an angry one and present the coupon. Carry your camera with. Make lots of comments about documenting for the “article” you’re writing. Slap that pic of you and Conan on your forehead. I bet you get your disgruntled sandwich to accompany the angst of its’ procurement.
Just scribble “Angry” on the coupon with crayon.
there is a BK at my zoo B, so I know that the Angry Whopper is more expensive than the regular one. I would order the Angry one, and if they give you flack about paying the difference- ask to speak to a manager and explain your plight. Get angry to get your Angry Whopper on!
GOOD LUCK!
You need to contact BK to alert them to their oversight and then demand an Angry Whopper coupon from them. In the meantime, use the plain old ordinary Whopper coupon for lunch tomorrow. You deserve both after all your troubles.
Oh jeebus, I let you kill me for this? You might as well have put me in Dubaku’s car last Monday too. It would have been a much more dramatic way to live out the rest of my B-Side Facebook friendship. Anyway, explain I’m dead to you and that should count for at least an extra side of jalapeno.

can I just give you $3 and we can be done with this ridiculous saga?
But free food just tastes better. Although not quite as good as stolen food.
IndianJones, if you’d like to fund an Angry Whopper, I’ll gladly take you up on that offer.
I still vote for making your own. You could call it the B-Side Really Really REALLY P*SSED OFF At BK Because They F***ED ME OVER!!!! Whopper (or the B-SRRPOABKBTFMO Whopper for . . . short?).
I love your Pfft! face. But all I really want to know is, what does jash think of this craziness? Indianjones has already made it clear that he’s OVER IT like yesterday’s Parsley Chronicles.
B-side – I vote for another mistadventure in domesticity! Create your own angry whopper! Document with photos and share with us! I am not surprised this didn’t turn out for you since I haven’t seen the commercial or this angry burger advertised at Burger King lately.
You’re angry. You’ve got a Whopper. What more do you want?
I think you should hire Gloria Allread and then have a press conference announcing your multi-million dollar lawsuit against BK for breach of contract. Not to mention the pain & suffering.
And use your angry face.!Grrrr.

You know, a lawsuit against BK would be a good way to publicize your blog. Perhaps your crack legal team needs to whip you up a Summons and Complaint.
Are you growing a goatee in honor of your parsley?
