There are various legends surrounding Burger King’s King mascot. The rumor was that the head for a King was found on eBay while looking for inspiration. However, it is hard to deny that the symbols highlighted on the crown, together with his golden and red robe, are stunningly reminiscent of the symbols used in the European royal tradition. While there were many kings and queens in Europe, there is one personality who looks exactly like the Burger King. It is thought that King Mindaugas, who was the first and only King of Lithuania, might have been the true source of inspiration for the Burger King mascot. While it is hard to gather more evidence, it is clear that the similarities are undeniable: the mascot and the King Mindaugas share the same crown, robe, hairstyle, and even a mustache.
