KISSIMMEE (AP) -- It's a lot more than a Big Mac attack that has one Cape Coral man flying 150 miles from his home several times a year to the nearest Krystal fast-food restaurant.

Jay Barr picks up 24 burgers about ten times a year. He says the hour-long flight from the Kissimmee airport is worth it. He typically leaves Fort Myers around 6 a-m and is home by 8:30 a-m, sometimes before his wife even wakes up.

Saturday, the fast-food company unveiled a hamburger box and drink cup with Barr's face and an airplane printed on them. Hundreds of thousands of the boxes will hit about 400 restaurants in the Southeast.

Barr was one of thousands who e-mailed stories to the company about their love for Krystal's food.
