“The Whoppercoin launched in tandem with a new loyalty program. For each Whopper burger customers purchase, they'll receive one Whoppercoin in a special cryptocurrency wallet. While the coins’ wider use is unclear, some reports suggest that the Whoppercoin will be accepted as payment at Burger Kings across Russia.”

What wallet hosts this? Is it an Ethereum token?

Just because you have the ability to do something doesn't mean you should!

That's hilarious man! Would be interesting to see how they use the coin.
I would buy one for the novelty even though we can't use it here

Isn't that the same as coupons? You buy their product, you get discounts. What are they trying to achieve here? 

Well, if the coupons are tradable, you could in theory buy a burger with any crypto. Mine coins, transfer to Whoppercoins, eat burgers.

Yes..  just read the rest of the thread from the post I linked. 1700 Whoppercoin get you 1 Whopper burger I believe.

That's a nice marketing instrument. Buy more burgers to get special coins and you can use the coins only in the same restaurant chain. But what would happen if suddenly some exchanges start to list and trade this coin? Price would rise up and people would buy burgers like crazy just to get the coins and sell them to others.

It would be a win/win.
This should work similar to a loyalty program (reward points) or amazon gift card where you can buy/sell the gift cards in open market or use it with amazon itself.

Any chance this could happen in the US?  Or with other fast food chains?

 I think it's experimental. If it work, maybe some other companies will start to do the same.

It's still better to have thousands shitcoins in a virtual wallet then thousands shitcards in your pocket wallets

And they already have a loyal customer base of millions of people. It's a great way to distribute a coin far and wide. I hope they roll it out worldwide if it's a success.
