Burger King Launches Attack On Chick-fil-A Over Donations Made to Christian Non-Profits
The often forgotten and insulted fast food chain, Burger King, appears to be attacking the popular pro-Christian and delicious fast food chain, Chick-fil-A, over donations made to Christian charities.
Burger King will reportedly be donating 40 cents for ever sale of its brand new chicken sandwich to the Human Rights Campaign. Chick-fil-A has a reputation for donating to Christian non-profits that promote traditional marriage over same-sex marriage.
The “Ch’King” has been drawing comparisons to the popular Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich which has long been viewed as being the pinnacle of fast-food chicken sandwiches.
This is not the first time a fast food chain has attacked Chick-fil-A claiming they have the superior chicken sandwich. However, this is the first time one of the companies has used donations to LGBTQ+ initiatives as an incentive to purchase the sandwich.
On June 3, Burger King made a snarky comment saying it will donate up to $250,000 of the proceeds from its new premium chicken sandwich, Ch’King, to The Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
For every sandwich sold 40 cents will go to HRC.
The company emphasized that their ‘Ch’King’ is also available on Sunday, taking a shot at Chick-fil-A which observes the Sabbath on Sunday.
"This is a community we love dearly and have proudly supported over the years, so we couldn’t miss an opportunity to take action and help shine a light on the important conversation happening," a Burger King spokesperson told USA TODAY.
Will Burger King donating profits to LGBTQ+ causes incentivize you to purchase their chicken? Will you be supporting Chick-fil-A and Christian non profits instead? Comment your thoughts below!
