CNN just did a story on White Castle's prominent product placement (apparently Krispy Kreme had initially been approached for the role and turned it down).
When asked whether the company wasn't concerned about the adult themes of drugs and sex, the guy said essentially "yeah, there's stuff in the movie we as a company do NOT endorse, but it's a really good movie and embraces larger themes that we as a company DO approve of."
I like that a lot.
Also, White Castle is NOT a public company, which almost certainly made their decision a lot easier.
But White Castle smells bad, see.
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
This movie is so on the top of my must-see list.
No, I'm not kidding.
But White Castle smells bad, see.
There's also a reason they're called 'Sliders', see.
They slide right on in and then slide right on out.
As gross as they are, I have to confess that I actually kind of like them, and still get a hankering for them every now and then.
I have never, ever eaten at White Castle. If not for TV, I would not know what a white castle burger is at all. (I know they are tiny, and I read a book that says they have a hole in the middle of the burger, to make it cook faster.) I don't think there are any White Castles in Massachusetts, or else they are all invisible.
White Castle is scary. Maybe that's because the only one I've actually been in is the one that's open at 4am in St. Louis. Somehow, the active and pissed off (but routine) police presence didn't make it less nerve-wracking for the foreign dude.
I learned about White Castle from the Beastie Boys.
I have no White Castle exposure.
