A fast food funeral procession?
One last swing through the BK drive-thru for a York man has us wondering what we'd take with us.
A fast food funeral procession?
Here's a more touching take on final meals than the last one we featured: Over the weekend, a funeral procession in York wound its way through a Burger King drive-thru. Why? Apparently as a way to honor the deceased, David S. Kime, Jr., a great-grandfather and WWII vet who was also known for his love of fast food and stubborn insistence on enjoying what he liked while he was here to enjoy it. The manager and staff at BK knew Kime's usual order; for the funeral, they prepared 40 Whopper Jrs. for the procession—including one for the deceased.
Kime's daughter laid his last Whopper atop his casket. The whole thing has got us thinking, is there any one food item we love enough to be buried with it? Color us commitmentphobes (we prefer "voracious omnivores"), but we're not sure there is. We figure there have got to be a few folks in this city that might want to take a roast pork sandwich or some FedNuts loot to the grave, though.
If you know without a doubt what you'll be munching on as you make your way into the afterlife, we'd love to hear it in the comments!
