Burger King FLAME Body Spray SOLD OUT!

Despite eliciting "universal disgust," the new Burger King FLAME™ body spray has sold out at all Ricky's locations AND on the website! Marisol, an employee at the Ricky's on First Avenue between 64th and 65th Streets, says their original shipment of 24 sold out within a matter of days, and frustrated "FLAMERS" have been calling constantly to try and track down a bottle. Although same haters compared the product's scent to the aroma of "a Burger King burning down in a horrible grease fire," Marisol told us it sold out because it smelled "nice. And spicy. It kind of smelled like Axe body spray." Why must you taunt us, Marisol!?! Okay, nobody panic; Grub Street comforts frustrated FLAME™ consumers with news that it's being sold on eBay for $76 (and rising). Or just wait until January (if you can!), when Ricky's will be getting more FLAME™ in stock.

I almost want to get some because J.D.S. has been so snarky about it.

Guys. Seriously. If you're getting paid to repeatedly write about BK, you should disclose.

You people should try MY new cologne:

Abu Ghraib for Men.

Now you can not only BE a War Criminal, you can smell like one too! Abu Ghraib for Men will enshroud you in the sweet delicate aroma of a mans testicles being slowly roasted by electrocution. You'll want to wear wires connected to your 'nads too once the delicious scent of human feces & urine draws the opposite sex towards you irresistably, like a person who's been waterboarded for 10 hours and is just DYING to confess.

Abu Ghraib for Men: it's a crime NOT to wear it!!!!
