A central London Burger King received a royal makeover fit for a queen.<\/p>

The Tottenham Court Road branch was re-branded into the Burger Queen for one day only, to celebrate her majesty\u2019s birthday.<\/p>

The restaurant also offered customers a Chicken Royale with small fries for \u00a31.99. What a bargain!<\/p>

It was one of several marketing campaigns by Burger King at the time.<\/p>

According to the Time magazine<\/em> website, Burger King opened a spa including a sauna and steam rooms with space for 15 people in Finland<\/a>.<\/p>

A separate 10-person sauna was decked out with a 48-inch television for social gatherings and birthday parties. The spa also featured a media lounge with gaming consoles and a laundry. Customers could order their burgers at any time during their visit. What more could you want?<\/p>

Among the fast food chain\u2019s other creations at the time was a burger-scented perfume in Japan. Burger King also embraced San Francisco\u2019s Pride festival \u2013 by launching The Proud Whopper burger. Another marketing campaign was for International Day of Peace. Burger King staff worked alongside their McDonald\u2019s counterparts with sales proceeds donated to the Peace One Day charity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
