Burger King releases bacon sundae

(UPI) -- U.S. fast-food giant Burger King, banking on an unusual taste combo to bolster its summertime revenues, announced Tuesday the availability of bacon sundaes.

Burger King said in a release the decision was made to offer the pork-enhanced soft-serve dessert nationwide for a limited time after it "took Nashville by storm earlier this year."

Bacon sundaes include vanilla soft serve with chocolate fudge, caramel, bacon crumbles and a thick-cut, hardwood-smoked bacon garnish.

The release didn't say how many calories per serving, which start at a recommended price of $2.49.
