Remember when Morgan Spurlock did Supersize Me, and people stopped eating McDonald’s for a while? Well, he has nothing on this commercial from Burger King.
The fast food company wanted to show us that they do not use any preservatives in their food, so they left a camera on one of their Whoppers for over a month. The result is that the hamburger is covered in mold.
I get what they were going for, but it did not work. They want us to focus on the fact that they don’t use preservatives. However, all I see is a moldy sandwich, and that is so unappealing to me. That is the only takeaway we are getting from this advertisement.
Are you going to run out and eat a Whopper after this? I cannot imagine that you will. I can still taste the mold just thinking about it. Yuck.
