The Burger King commercials which started in 2005 caused a huge amount of demand for “The King” costumes. What has become their advertising mascot, the King, started out as sort of a joke. The “Wake up with the King” campaign where a scary guy in a plastic mask would be in bed with you in the morning freaked me out a little bit.

As part of the marketing campaign, Burger King’s PR company sold the King masks on their bkmasks.com website. It doesn’t appear that they’re available any more.
