Rubbertoe/FlickrNASCAR driver and Burger King spokesman Tony Stewart has given the fast food giant an ultimatum, saying he refuses to continue to endorse their product unless he is paid entirely in onion rings.
"I didn't endorse Burger King for the money," said Stewart. "I could endorse anything for that. What I want from Burger King is a never ending supply of those delicious, crispy, golden brown, batter dipped, deep fat fried bites of heaven. I'm salivating right now just talking about it."
Stewart says his reason for wanting to be compensated in onion rings is because of the declining value of the dollar in today's unstable economy. And because Burger King's dipping sauce is 'awesome.'
"That stuff puts ketchup to shame. Plus, with today's economic outlook, I want something steady, something that will last. I know an onion ring won't last forever, since it is a perishable food item, but with the slew of preservatives they put in there it'll last a really, really long time. Until I eat it of course."
Stewart said he'd also like to see all Burger Kings dispense 'that stuff on the cini-minis' from their fountain drink machines.
