I'd love to go to Burger King and get a Little Priest combo.

Oh man! How amazing would that be!!! And then I'd buy all the happy meals to collect Sweeney Todd figurines and get the complete set!!!

McDonalds could sure use some fresh ideas, since they lost their contract with Disney.

I think all they have at BK is that Politician so oily he's served with a doily...

Good thing that stuff's already on a bun. Cuz, hey, you never know if it's going to run.

Just thinking about the pies though...would that hurt marketing...I mean even more?


Either way, we only have one Mickey Mouse Glass left so we could start a new collection. At least when one of those Todd glasses breaks you can just sigh and say it was cursed to begin with.

At least Marie Callendar's should carry a Mrs. Lovett's line.

Coming soon to McDonald's, The McMeat Pie with a special treat inside each pie(a gummy finger).

Why just have fast food promotional tie ins for Sweeney, why not have a video game? Kill as many customers before a time limit or before the police come in, or how about an amusement park ride where you go in, sit in the barber chair, and go for a nice ride down a slide that ends in a oven.

Fast food and movie promotions are so last generation. Sweeney Todd should have done a promotional deal with Supercuts.

They should also be advertising on the Food Network. Commercials during Alton Brown would be appropriate.

At least if Marie Callender's carries Mrs. Lovett's line I can buy them at my local Supermarket! Can't wait to see the label!

I guess they would come with a mini cd. That would be a nice touch.

In Nebraska and Iowa there is a fast food chain called Runza Hut. A "runza" is basically a meat pie. They are delicious.

Sounds like they would give me the runz-a

I'd love to see W go into a shop and talk about which razors are appropriate.

Not since Babe was there a movie that cried out so for a Happy Meal tie-in. The Runza Hut would indeed be perfect.

I can just imagine sitting in a fast food restaurant and asking someone, "Excuse me but what is that?" to which the person replies:

It's priest, have a little priest

And you can imagine the rest of the conversation.
