The Enormous Omelet Sandwich consists of sausage patties, bacon, eggs and American cheese on a sesame seed bun.
It was introduced on March 28th, 2005, and attracted significant media attention for its almost absurd collection of ingredients and caloric content. It was the first new product launched under the auspices of then CEO Greg Brenneman, and helped boost Burger King breakfast sales by 20 %.
Burger King again used the viral marketing ads featuring the "Creepy King", who presented the product to unsuspecting consumers in unexpected places such as their own bedroom or in their front yards. It was promoted with the slogan "Wake up to a mouthful of breakfast with the Enormous Omelet Sandwich." The television advertisements described the sandwich like this: "Two slices of melted, American cheese, two fluffy eggs stuffed with three crispy strips of bacon, and a sizzling sausage patty, piled high on a toasted bun. The Enormous Omelet Sandwich from BURGER KING®. So big, breakfast will never be the same.".
- The sandwich closely resembles the "Good Morning Burger", a fictional sandwich in the Simpsons episode "Bart's Friend Falls in Love", that had been intended as an exaggeration that could not actually come to pass in real life.
