People are saying the Burger King Halloween Black Whopper is turning their poo green

Burger King have released a very exciting new product for Halloween - an incredibly spooky Black Whopper; a burger with a black bun.

However, it appears to have an unplanned spooky side effect - consumers of the product have complained that it has turned their excretement green.

Quite a lot of people have taken to Twitter to complain about the effects of the burger, which is being sold in the U.S. and England.

The site says about the burger: "Introducing the A.1.® Halloween WHOPPER® Sandwich with A.1.® flavor baked into the black bun."

"The sandwich is a ¼ lb. of savory flame-grilled beef topped with melted American cheese, ripe tomatoes, crisp iceberg lettuce, creamy mayonnaise, A.1.® Thick and Hearty Sauce, crunchy pickles, and sliced white onions on a soft sesame seed bun with A.1.®flavor baked into the bun."

It sounds appetising, but there is nothing in the description of the perhaps spookier side effect.

The company told ABC that the bun contains less than 1% black food dye.

However, Medical Daily pointed out that green colours are often used in black food dyes.

Either way - it's pretty spooky. We have contacted Burger King for comment.

Burger King’s Halloween Whopper has unexpected side effect

<script height="542px" width="962px" src="http://player.ooyala.com/iframe.js#pbid=71fea79861d14fce867bc2d59a66edd8&ec=1xODgyeDrj4sVBxoYa0HNQK-5Jz0cS2Y"></script>

MIAMI -- You don't have to go to Japan to try Burger King's black-bunned Whopper. Burger King is bringing it to the U.S. just in time for Halloween.

"Something wicked is coming," the burger chain on Twitter, with a brief promo video featuring thunder and lightning and a lunar eclipse, with a burger standing in for the moon.

But it's not just the color, insists Burger King. It's also the flavor, with A.1. sauce baked into the bun. According to Burger King, it's the sauce that turns the buns black.

"While the pitch-black bun gives the Halloween Whopper sandwich a look that may make some think 'hmmmmm?' the burger's classic A.1. flavors will have tasters saying 'mmmmm,'" Burger King said.

Burger King has been selling colored Whoppers in Japan. As part of a summertime promotion, the chain sold "samurai burgers" with red or black buns.

In the U.S., the black Whopper has 710 calories, 43 grams of fat and 1.5 grams of trans fat. That makes the nonblack Whopper look relatively slim, with its 650 calories, 37 grams of fat and 1.5 grams of trans fat.

The black-bunned Whopper is only the latest of a series of experiments that Burger King is conducting. It recently launched a "burger merger" with several other burger chains, including Wendy's, to create hybrids of their rival burgers.

While the Whopper looks appetizing, it appears to have some unpleasant residual effects in the toilet. People have been taking to Twitter to say the black bun is turning their poop green.

The hashtag #greenpoop started to trend, and some people say they want to try the sandwich to see if it really happens. Others are upset at Burger King and want an explanation about the black dye's health side effects.

A1 sauce causes this. Just like blue icing on cupcakes and anything else with dark food dye
