Whopper Freakout

[powerboy]

the first time I saw the commercial, I thought it was funny. But after that, they are truly stupid. I said it once before & I will say it again. Most commercials are nothing but crap. Now if they take the Double or Triple Whopper, then I would be mad

[draggar]

I wonder how many people thought they were on a game show when they met the guy "managing" this? (Didn't he used to host 'Oblivious'?)

I really REALLY hope the employees, managers, and customers all got compensated for this little "stunt".

BUT - if you pulled the same in a McDonald's with the Big Mac, you'd get the same.

Jeez, a sandwich is a sandwich. And I agree with Knightmare, some of those people could do with LESS whoppers.

I hope it was totally fake.

I mean, that is just setting it up for SCs to run rampant and scream and kick and cry.

I saw a couple of those commercials and I honest to gosh thought it was fake, and I continue to hope that it's fake.

I think the whole "experiment" is totally asinine. I really feel bad for the employees that had to endure this bullshit.

I mean come on!!! they have some many other good sandwiches too.

I love their grilled chicken sandwich (sans tomatoes). MMM... I could really go for one of those, a thing of fries, and maybe a piece of chocolate pie right now.

i watched that commercial and have been looking everywhere for this thread...
WHY!!! god the women in the drive throw? the stupid idiots? the jackasses? God all you are showing is that there are people who are idiots who deserve to be forfully nutered adn spayed.
I mean come on!!! they have some many other good sandwiches too.

That commercial is the reason why I'm glad we have a DVR. Then we can just pause the commercial, wait a couple of minutes, then skip right past it.

Seriously, I really want to smack the people who came up with that advertising scheme. My blood pressure seems to rise every time the commercial comes on. The first time I saw it I thought it was going to be a funny commercial. Boy was I sorely mistaken.

[Rahmota]

yeah i saw this and was thinking how stupid a lot of these people where acting. Its not like they put some kind of secret sauce on it that makes a person addicted to the sandwich and they have to have it or die!!!!! Although thats the way some of them where acting. Jeez if they dont have what you want on the menu get somethign else I'm sure they have enough other choices to share and enjoy.

Really people! It's just a burger! Come on! Yes, I do like Burger King (had a their Kid's Meal today), but if they ran out of the Whopper? Who cares!

Exactly. Now, if they ran out of bacon double cheeseburgers, there'd be hell to pay.

This commercial really annoys me. The poor employees who had to put up with this nonsense. I hope they got some kind of bonus.

[Rapscallion]

It proves the power of branding and advertising. Scary, eh?

That commercial just gets on my last nerve! ARRGGHH!!!!! I hate the woman who says "I want to see a manager when I get to the window" like the manager is going to say "Oops! Sorry! My employee doesn't know what the heck they're talking about! Here's a Whopper out of my backside!" Or at the very end of the commercial where this guy with a deep voice says "You get me a whopper now" (or something close like it).

Really people! It's just a burger! Come on! Yes, I do like Burger King (had a their Kid's Meal today), but if they ran out of the Whopper? Who cares! Sheesh ... I'll find somewhere else to eat, not throw a tantrum.

[MystyGlyttyr]

I bet if McDonalds did this with the Big Mac, it'd be ten times worse.

This kind of reminds me of the New Coke fiasco, in a way.

[Knightmare]

Many of those people looked like they really didn't need another Whopper.
