I realize Burger King might not be up the the standards here, but we stopped there today. The crowns were mostly green in color. The paper cups had a purple Burger King logo and had green pickles plus a green finger decorating them. The cashier had no idea why they had these unusual cups and crowns. Does anyone here know? ---
