The restaurant also changed their Twitter name to “Stranger King” and their avi to be of an upside-down sandwich.
Along with the promotion, Burger King is running a sweepstakes in partnership with Coca Cola where winners might receive $25,000, a new car or trips. You can find out more in the commercial they put out for the contest below.

Earlier this week, Nike shared a cryptic tweet with a video and a phone number that seemed suspicious.
“We acknowledge that several shipments from 1985 have gone missing. Please call 1.800.561.1985 with any info,” it reads.
