Monday, July 05, 2004

It’s web-slinging mania at BURGER KING® restaurants around the country in celebration of the launch of Spider-Man 2! BURGER KING® is supporting this summer’s blockbuster hit movie with one of its most exciting Youth and Family promotions ever! As part of a promotional alliance with Sony Pictures, from today, an exclusive Spider-Man 2 Kids Meal Box and an exciting range of kids toys will be available at BURGER KING® restaurants throughout the country, in time for the highly anticipated release of the film on 15 July 2004.

As Spider-Man 2 takes over cinema screens, BURGER KING® Kids Meals will be wrapped up in the adventure. The Kids Meal will be presented in an interactive Spider-Man 2 Meal Box, with four different designs to collect, packed with games, movie trivia and take home items. When ordering the Meal Box kids can also choose their own menu combination from the new Take 2 Kids Menu. The selection includes traditional items such as cheeseburger and chicken bites, as well as lighter options such as grapes, carrots, milk and water. The Spider-Man 2 Meal Box will also contain the new ‘Web Fries’ exclusive to BURGER KING® as well as a Müller Yogz and Spider-Man Penguin biscuit.

One of six interactive premiums, exclusive to BURGER KING®, will be offered with the purchase of every Spider-Man 2 Kids Meal, available from £2.79. These unique toys capture the fun and excitement of the new film as well as the Spider-Man’s traditional superhero powers.
