Has anyone had Burger Kings Ribs? I haven't, but with them reporting they have sold 10 million (in the $7 range) and expect to exhaust their supply this month, I'm curious.

I haven't but the way they cook their burgers (on a conveyor belt type of gig over an open flame) if they do the ribs the same way it sounds like it could be a thang. I'm curious how they taste as well.

I've seen the ads and didn't think that much about it until I read an article about it this morning. In a time where everyone is offering bargins ($1 meals, $2.99 combos etc) Burger King goes with $7 Ribs and are about to sell out. WTF?

That is wacky but years ago I saw a cartoon in the Sunday comics, Tank McNamara, where a running shoe company was in a boardroom with their sales graph going straight downhill trying to figure out how to boost sales. All of the executive types were trying to think of improvements to the shoe to sell more. One young new guy said "let's just raise the price" (I think it was around the time Air Jordans came out). So they didn't change a thing, doubled the price and sales went through the roof.

I followed a few links (out of boredom) and read some reviews. Obviously, they are not what you would expect from an established BBQ joint...duh. But they sound like they are doing it right for what they are, a crappy chain fast food burger joint.

Well I still jump and have to close my eyes occasionally but for the most part yes. Oh and I do mute it from time to time...haha
