"What do you buy the man who has everything for Christmas? How about
some perfume that smells of meat? The US hamburger giant Burger King
has just released a fragrance for men based on the smell of its Whopper
burger. The company is advertising the scent, called Flame, on its
website firemeetsdesire.com. It says: “The Whopper sandwich is
America’s favourite burger. Flame….captures the essence of that love and
gives it to you.” The website also invites visitors to “Behold the scent of
seduction.” The site features a variety of romantic images, including
candlelit baths, wine and sunsets. Burger King says Flame will allow men
to “Set the mood no matter what mood you’re in the mood for”.
The scent is on sale online for $3.99, although just five days before
Christmas, it was sold out. It is on sale in New York, for those who
desperately want to buy a bottle. The website that is marketing Flame
has a lot of feedback from some very satisfied customers. It seems the
body spray is doing some amazing things to make men more irresistible.
We found several people who were more than happy with their purchase.
Jason Lowe from San Diego said: “I like the smell but would like the body
spray to have the smell of extra cheese.” Carmen Diaz from Los Angeles
said she loved the smell, but was worried about the number of dogs that
now followed her husband. The fragrance has not yet been a big hit with
vegetarians."

I discussed about this article with my English teacher today.
After I read it, I thought the perfume is very gross.
And, I don't understand why the products succeeded, and sold out at all.
I don't want to buy it, even though the price is only $3.99( I think it is very cheep.).
I think buying the perfume is to waste money.
However, my teacher was very interested in that perfume. He mentioned me he likes the smell of cheese. Therefore, he wants to buy it if they didn't sold out.
When I heard his answer, I was very surprised.
Though, there are many varieties with the number of people.
My favorite smell is not other's favorite at all.
If I think so, these products have a very interesting,and original idea.
And, they are limited products.
I think some people feel added value to such kind of products.
That may be one of the reason they sold out.
How do you think after reading this article?
Do you think that you want to buy the perfume?
