It looked like fast food was just about to get a little faster, but Burger King says it is not making hands-free Whopper holders.
All you multitaskers will need to look elsewhere to shave a few more minutes out of your action-packed days. The online video featuring the hands-free Whopper holder in use by a dog walker, policeman, dancer, landscaper and other busy people is a whopper in its own right.
"The video featuring a 'hands-free' Whopper Sandwich holder was produced by an agency in Puerto Rico to celebrate the brand and the iconic Whopper Sandwich in a humorous way. However, the product depicted in the spot was not produced, or distributed to guests as some reports indicate," reads the short statement from Burger King to CNBC.

The videos, produced in both Spanish and English versions, feature a guitar player singing the benefits of the device, which looks like a thick plastic necklace that bends up to feeding position. The item gets ritually unboxed with the fervor of the hottest new tech gadget.
