BK

I just saw the new Burger King commercial and they called a chicken nugget their "new handheld BK snacker"

BK Snacker.

BK.

You know who coined that abbreviation?

Dane Cook.  Way back, talking about "the BK Lounge..."

And that joke became so culturally impregnated that Burger King is actually using the familiar term in their commercials.

Like... Whoa...

  7. I always called it, "that burger place across from mcdonalds that I never go to because it's more expensive and the burgers suck."

  8. If Dane Cook was ever original, it would only be because he talks about the same joke for twenty minutes each in his act.
