Burger King is giving overzealous Facebook frienders a way to dump some unnecessary online weight in exchange for a little real-life weight. If you drop 10 Facebook friends, Burger King will give you a free Whopper as part of its "Whopper Sacrifice" promotion.
Considering the average Facebook user has 100 friends, there is no doubt untapped demand for such an excuse. CNET's Webware blog has tips for when and when not to befriend. Perhaps a little hindsight is in order?
As of this posting, 101,978 friends have been thrown to the fire. That's a lot of Whoppers!
Do it for the beef!
UPDATE 1/30: The "Whopper Sacrifice" raises questions about how to unfriend people, when to do it, and how to do it quietly.
