Burger King has unveiled a line of “Real Meals,” in order to reflect “real” moods and raise awareness about mental heath. CNBC reports that the meals, released in time for Mental Health Awareness Month in May, will give their own spin to the iconic McDonald's Happy Meals. The line reportedly includes a Blue Meal, Salty Meal, Yaaas Meal and DGAF (Don’t Give a F*ck) Meal, with each containing a Whopper burger, french fries and a beverage. “Burger King restaurants understands that no one is happy all the time.
