Burger King helped Iron Man say 'no' to drugs

I just spotted THIS LINK on the G4TV Web site and I had to share it.

Remember all that Burger King product placement in "Iron Man?" Tony Stark only wanted two things when he got back to civilization — a press conference and a Burker King Cheeseburger. Hell, he ate two.

Well, apparently that wasn't JUST product placement. It probably was in part, since BK had the "Iron Man" tie-in promotions and all, but, apparently Robert Downey, Jr. was the one that wanted Burger King in the movie, to thank the franchise for helping him kick his drug addiction.

Downey claims he had a burger so horrendously bad at a Burger King that he decided he needed to kick the dope for good. No, I don't know how that ties in together either, but gift horses, you know?

So the next time you're walking down a street, and on the left of the street is a Burger King and on the right is a drug dealer, be like Iron Man and turn left, kids!
