MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The rivalry between America’s McDonald’s and the Philippines’ Jollibee has finally come to an end. The popular Filipino fastfood chain has taken on a new rival, challenging the next best thing to McDonalds — Burger King.
On March 31, Burger King is launching its newest menu item it is calling the “angriest burger,” featuring a red bun. Apparently an earlier black version of its hamburger ban didn’t quite click with its customers.
Not to be outdone, Jollibee has announced that on April 1, it will launch its answer to the angriest burger — the bloodiest siopao.
Siopao, or stuffed steamed bun, is the Asian version of the American hamburger bun.
The brewing competition between Burger King and Jollibee is based on which bun is redder. Or angrier. Or bloodier.
