So it’s the dead of winter, there’s snow on the ground, you’re going a bit stir crazy - which means it’s now time to celebrate Valentine’s Day!
I know, I know, not everyone is a fan.
It’s kind of a controversial holiday. Or non-holiday. No matter where you stand on the debate, this article provides some interesting history about St. Valentine’s Day.
Listen, if you hate it and think it’s a holiday celebrated because of a genius marketing department at Hallmark, I totally get it.
For what it’s worth, Hallmark denies they invented the holiday. Still, they’ve been selling V-Day cards since 1913!
Holy Hannah! Talk about getting in on the ground floor.
I bet by now you’re wondering why I’m being critical of a holiday you know I love?
Because I’m here to spread the news of Anti-Valentine’s Day and the awesome news that Burger King is celebrating with free Whoppers!
You read that right. Burger King and Warner Bros. are celebrating the release of Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)... and Harley Quinn’s breakup from the Joker (don’t worry it was completely mutual! HA!) by giving customers a Whopper in exchange for a photo of their ex.
In case you haven't seen this, here is my favorite trailer for Birds of Prey:
If you live in New York City, you can also bring in old love letters, stuffed animals or clothing. Come on, I know you have no use for that silly bear your ex won for you at the fair in like tenth grade and you've been meaning to get rid of his old hoodie - now's your chance to get rid of it and get free food!
And the offer is valid from February 14th until the 16th in NYC.
I'm guessing New York's extended celebration is BK's tribute to Gotham?
Now for the bad news, the offer is only available at the following select locations:
- 327 W 42nd St, New York, NY 10036
- 35 Powell Street, San Francisco, CA 94102
- 545 North Victory Boulevard, Burbank, CA 91502
- 150 Everett Avenue, Chelsea, MA 02150
And sorry, the Impossible Whopper isn’t an option.
Now go get yourself a free Whopper and celebrate Harley Quinn’s breakup - if not your own!
But if you are planning on celebrating Valentine’s Day with your significant other, I got you covered. Check out my 10 budget friendly Valentine’s Day ideas.
How do you plan on celebrating the 14th? I’m going low key this year with takeout and Netflix.
Unfortunately, I’m not close enough to one of the participating Burger Kings to take advantage of their celebration.
FYI, if you’re also too far away, Burger King is offering $3 Whoppers for taking an in-app quiz and correctly answering four or the five questions.
No matter how you celebrate, I hope you enjoy the day!
