"Burger King hopes to build style, traffic" by Ashley M. Heher, Associated Press | October 7, 2009
CHICAGO - The new interiors include rotating red flame chandeliers, brilliant TV-screen menus, and industrial-inspired corrugated metal and brick walls.
“I’d call it more contemporary, edgy, futuristic,’’ chief executive John Chidsey said. “It feels so much more like an upscale restaurant.’’
But that comes with an upscale price...
Chidsey thinks most franchise owners, who typically own both their building and the land, will not have trouble obtaining financing and will be swayed once they see how sales can climb.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Yeah, GO INTO DEBT, franchisee, so your greasy spoon can look good and get that top-flight richer in there!
Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy said the restaurant could keep diners at the table longer but might not draw in enough extra diners to justify the cost. “I don’t think they’ll change their perception,’’ he said. “They’re pretty entrenched in their reality.’’
Yeah, it is a BURGER KING, not the Four Seasons!!

Time to wash it down:
ATLANTA - Could less be more appealing to some consumers?
The new cans will be smaller than a 12-ounce can....
But you will PAY the SAME PRICE!!!
Think of it as a REVERSE PRICE HIKE!
The move comes as health care advocates point to soft drinks as a factor leading to obesity. Some politicians and watchdog groups have suggested taxing soft drinks to help pay for overhauling the health care system.
That is the ONLY ANSWER they have, isn't it?
Yeah, I'm sure they are all interested in your health over profit.
Pfffft!

I'm still thirsty, readers, (hiccup).
