I ate everything on Burger King’s “The Addams Family” menu

There is nothing scarier or weirder than déjà vu.

Almost exactly five years ago, I ventured to IHOP – not just any pancake house, mind you international House of Pancakes – to eat a full meal inspired by the animated remake of the classic comedy The Addams Family.

I ate Gomez's Green Chile Omelette. I ate Wednesday's web cakes. And, Lurch help me, I even drank Morticia's Haunted Hot Chocolate, which was slathered in purple whipped cream that turned an absolutely disgusting shade of purple when it melted. (The name turned out to be 100% accurate: that putrid purple cup had been haunting my dreams for years.)

Five years later, for reasons no one could adequately explain to me, Burger King just introduced an entire, limited-time menu of items inspired by it The Addams Family (2019). I'm assuming it has something to do with capitalizing on the popularity of unrelated Netflix movies Wednesday TV series that came out a year ago. But I'm not here to speculate about the financial motivations of fast food chains: I'm here to eat strange, movie-inspired menu items. Somehow that's my rhythm now.

Burger Kings Addams family The menu includes Thing's Rings (AKA boring old onion rings in a special box), Churro Fries (remember the scene in The Addams Family where Oscar Isaacs Gomez Addams housed a pile of cut-up churros? Classic stuff), a chocolate milkshake (the scariest milkshake flavor) and, the real showstopper of all, a twist on the classic Burger King Whopper served on a bright purple bun.

Are these purple Whoppers just made from faded red buns lying around at Burger King? Across the Spider-Verse Whopper last year? That's what I'm here to find out with my friend, actor, podcaster and collaborator Griffin Newman. Here's our report on everything Burger King Addams family Menu.
