Love ice cream? Love bacon? Well then, mark your calendar: Burger King is launching a new bacon sundae on Thursday for a limited time only! After making its debut in Nashville, Tenn., earlier this year, the sundae features vanilla soft serve with fudge, caramel, bacon crumbles and a piece of bacon as garnish. The bad news? Burger King's new bacon sundae contains 510 calories, 18 grams of fat and 61 grams of sugar!

The chain is also launching several pork, beef and chicken sandwiches for a limited time only. Highlights include: Memphis Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich, Carolina BBQ Whopper or Chicken Sandwich, Texas BBQ Whopper or Chicken Sandwich, sweet potato fries and frozen lemonade.

Burger King has been working overtime to reverse its sliding market share, the AP reports. Earlier this year, the fast-food chain expanded its menu to include fruit smoothies, snack wraps and new salads. The Whopper and fries have been revamped, too. Will you give the bacon sundae a try? Or pass on the fat and calories?

I extremely don't understand this bacon obsession so many people have. As to Burger King, think of that sundae as a short ticket to diabetes.

Disgusting and fattening. That is a heart attack waiting to happen if you eat that. It may look good, but 510 calories? that is a lot of calories you are putting inside your body.

Ice cream and sundaes do not mix!!

This is gross as far as the amount of calories, fat, and sugar for a dessert but the sundae probably doesn't taste bad.

They need to stop making bacon flavored everything. I have seen bacon flavored gum, mints and even toothpaste. Not a fun smell.

Salty, sweet. Do you remember sugar on snow with pickles in Vermont during the sugaring time for maple syrup?

Oh come on.... they should know better. Denny's tried it, and it didn't hit.

Here's a better idea: Meat parfait.

Meat of your choice parfait'd between layers of mashed potato and sauce of your choice, like gravy or honey bbq, and topped off with bacon bits and a cherry tomato.

THAT would sell. And it's about the same amount of calories anyway, only it tastes better.

Launch THAT, then you might get more customers!!

Though the sweet potato fries sound delish... serve em up with some honey mustard!! Can we make those permanent??

It's a scientific fact the salty improves sweet. In other words, eating something salty (bacon) with something sweet (ice cream) makes the sweet sweeter. That, and combinging crunchy bacon to contrast creamy bacon isn't a bad idea. Second, for all you vegans and vegetarians saying this is disgusting, and nasty, I think it's safe to say this, being a meat related topic, doesn't apply to you. Thank you, but your biase sorta makes you unfit to really comment. Also, this is most certainly epic meal time approved.
