In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Burger King used a mascot to advertise their meals. The "Burger King" was a bearded king, who ruled the Burger King Kingdom, along with other characters such as The Duke of Doubt (his arch nemesis), Burger Thing (a large burger puppet), Sir Shakes-A-Lot (a knight with a craving for Burger King milkshakes), and the Wizard of Fries (a robot powered by french fries).
Once, seeing that the Burger King could create food from thin air, the Duke of Doubt asks "Make me a shake." The King happily obliges by turning the Duke into a giant milkshake. The ad campaign slogan was "Magic makes it special when your with Burger King."

A little Dialoge recovered from an old Burger King commercial:
Burger King: Hey, Sir Shakes-A-Lot. Can I ask you something?
Shakes-A-Lot: GrEaT sHaKeS, bUrGeR kInG!
Burger King: Um, yeah... Sir Shakes, where do you get that shake?
Shakes-A-Lot: wHaT dO YoU mEaN?
Burger King: We didn't make that shake. Where did you get it?
Shakes-A-Lot: i, Er, I mEaN... iT's A bOmB!
