Yes, you’ve read right. Some marketing geniuses at Burger King came up with a brilliant English name for their creamy, mouthwatering new hand-pooped smoothies (no pun intended). Why PooPoo Smoothies? Because “Taste is King”. What should we say, at least it’s not some nutty chocolate flavor.

We’ve spotted this gem at Burger King on Yuyuan Lu, but have yet to confirm that the taste lives up to its appetizing name. While bizarre translations of brand or product names from English to Chinese and vice versa aren’t too uncommon, it is somewhat astounding that an American company comes up with such a “playful” English name.
