The Burger King Kingdom is a fantasy world associated with Burger King.
History
Introducted in 1976, The Burger King Kingdom was the name of Burger King's answer to McDonaldland during the mid-1970s. By 1989, the Burger King Kingdom characters were phased out in favor of the BK Kids Club Gang.
Starting in 2003, the Burger King began to be reused in Burger King ads, albeit as a man in a mask and King costume, rather than a full live-action portrayal.
Characters
