The whopper freakout
 
In America Burger King is constantly showing commercialls about them not selling the whopper anymore and everybody gets all mad for some reson. Then there is a commercial were they start selling other fast food restaraunt's burgers. And everyone is all like "hey this is a big mac not a whopper" and stuff. But I am pretty shure that buying other restaraunt's food and selling it at your restaraunt is illeagal. So they obviously never sold big macs at Burger King. :-?

It's a commercial ad. It's not real. They're just trying to get your attention.

Obviously it worked.

I believe here in the UK moves are under way to ban these kind of adverts between 4PM to 9PM to prevent kids eating junk food.

In these commercials, I laugh at how some of these people seem so upset. It's just food. If somebody told me that they discontinued the Whopper, I can't see myself being confrontational with the manager or anything. I'd just say, OK, and move on. Pure comedy here, if this is not pre-planned.

I would of taken the Bigmac and say something along the lines of, "Ok this is weird....but I'll take it" I wonder if the manger would come up to me and say something like, your not supposed to take it, thats why you came here and not there.

They can get rid of the Whooper but they'll never take my Baccon Deluxe Burger!!


And fries are smaller and thinner than chips. Chips are good, fries taste like cardboard.

Eg. KFC has chips while McD's has fries.

No, chips are the chunky sticks of goodness you find wrapped in newspaper, accompanied by a jumbo sausage and pot of curry sauce.

Fries are sissy chips, but unfortunatley there's no alternative when purchasing a burger.
