Yucks, yuks, and unsavory puns proliferated on Twitter:
When you go to Burger King in London, they don't just give you one cardboard crown. They give you three. Get it? It's a horse joke.—

The restaurant chain will now DNA test its burgers.
Burger King is going to start testing their beef for "foreign DNA" like pork, horse, & lamb? I'll take lamb in my $3 burger anytime.—
