I just figured.....the place next to Doc's Lab is occupied by a Burger King.

What do you think TellTale will replace it with?

    I wish I had a Whopper. This is making me hungry. Burger King has the best fries too.

    Agrees.

    Here in The Netherlands I am trying to convince everyone BK > McDonalds
    but they're all too conservative.

    I've stated before that this game could be full of the brands that were in the movie and still not feel like cheap product placement, so these brands should naturally invest in this game (big bucks!). But in all the screenshots so far, we haven't seen a sign of Burger King, Pepsi, Sony, Panasonic, Nike, Nintendo, Texaco, Calvin Klein and all the others, so I presume that this game will be product placement-free.

    :) / :( ?

    I'd hope the BK was there. I've eaten at the one seen in-film several times. It's all been redesigned for more modern decor, but the majority of the plaza is the same.

    In Australia we have Burger King but its called Hungry Jacks. Maybe they could have a 50's themed Burger King. Do they have those in America?

    The great thing about the plaza looking the same, is that the Lancers restaurant is still there in the shot-- and when we were seeing the special presentation in October, and it came onto the screen-- the whole audience went crazy, hehe.

    I will have to try to get a photo for you guys.

    I do love me some Burger King.

    Those bits of product placement (Nike, Pepsi, Toyota, etc) always felt like a pretty organic part of the world, since they helped to tie the different time periods together in a concrete way. I don't know if we'll be seeing any of that in the game, but it would be great if we do. Pepsi, for instance, was around in the 1930's.

    By pickled beets I assume you speak of beetroot and yes there are two Whoppers with beetroot the Aussie Whopper and the Aussie Whopper Junior. They don't have any with egg except on the breakfast menu.

    This thread makes me hungry.

    They should totally throw in some product placement! Even if they're not real products. Some how junk food just fits in so nicely into the retro games and movies universe. You ever notice in many old video games (especially DOS ones) characters collect cans of soda for points? Retro and junk food fit together like PB&J, IMO. And Pepsi is just sooo Back to the Future! They should totally have Pepsi somewhere in this game: "All I want is a Pepsi!" :D

    BK is the way.

    Better fries, better burgers, better onion rings... MC has the best chicken though. Like I care, really, I'm a Whopper maniac.

    BK should consider putting some quotes from this thread in their ads. :p

    Did anyone else notice that biffs tracksuit had a mock brand on it?

    Perhaps by including mock brands is there way of continuing the product placement and advancement of products through the different time periods?

    Burger king will not be in the game.

    Well, you can't eat ADIDAS... Plus, when we think of BTTF, Nike comes to mind first.
  • mcfly88mcfly88

    Yes yes, Nike is frequented more in the films..

    However biff is wearing an adidas tracksuit in the films which makes me thing this is telltales way of continuing mock product placement...

    I love the mock product placement.
    We already have the Nike Shoes and the Adidas vest.
    Hope they pull of more of those.

    yeah, mock product placements cool. We need Pepsi, though. Or some mock cola brand that at least looks like Pepsi.

    Mac = Quarter Pounder
    BK = Big King XXL

    That's the only good stuff they have. Fries suck at both, if you want that visit the snackbar. Variety is nice so I split about 50/50. Or not quite so depending on availability :D.

    Royale with cheese.

    Seen the movie, and actually been to France to order it... :p

    EDIT:
    Also quarter pounder "with cheese"? It's standard included right.
    Also, is this the right time to mention your Big King XXL's totally suck. Who stuffs bacon on a hamburger, sicko's...

    Where exactly was Nintendo in BTTF? Unless you're talking about the arcade machine in 2.

    Tasteless, spongy, made out of fiber is more likely to define them, instead of just "greasy".

    Ahh, What do you know about fine dining? :D

    They taste pretty greasy to me.

    I've never thought to descibe McD's fries as fiberous... they're too flimsy to be fiberous... spongy, I could see, but fiberous?

    I've had ONE of those. And I emphasize the "one" because, while it is delicious, I think one is all you should ever eat, lest you risk a heart attack.

    I do have my thoughts on fine dining, yes. It's one of those rare gifts of being a carnivorous Turkish man.

    Pretty fiberous, especially when they get cold.

    One is seen to be too much for this carnivorous Turkish man.

    I die a little inside every time someone claims to have eaten a Double Down.

    hmmm... Maybe you're right... ? Whenever I think of fiber, I think off carrots and bran... and I just can't see McD's fries as having any thing in common with either of those things. Maybe I need to change my definition of fiber :confused: Probably, as I don't really know what fiber actually is, I just figure it's solid and sorta grainy...

    I think you guys should come taste the fast food chains in the Netherlands. There are a lot of regulations which causes them to prepare the food real well. So fries are baked real well low fat, good amount of salt etc.

    And you guys are really missing out on this sauce:
    http://www.michael-schelter.de/wp-content/McD-Fritessaus-1.jpgIn the Benelux it's marketed as american fritesaus, which is funny because apparently it doesn't exist in the US.
