Burger lovers can expect to see a series of mouth-watering national TV ad spots and in-restaurant merchandising in support of the promotion. Via online banner ads, Web users will also have the opportunity to experience just how much a $1 bill can afford them from the BK(R) Value Menu using a simple Web cam and some novel "augmented reality" technology, which overlays the products from the menu onto the currency image.

The $1 ¼ pound Double Cheeseburger joins the national BK(R) Value Menu, which includes the WHOPPER JR.(R) sandwich and Spicy CHICK'N CRISP(R) sandwich as well as the Ham Omelet Sandwich and sausage biscuit on the BK(R) Breakfast Value Menu, all priced at just $1 each.
