Whopper Virgins.

Basically, BK is flying across the world to desolate areas to see whose burger is more epic.

This is war.

Here are some response articles.

What do you think? Has BK completely lost it, or what?

This kinda makes no sense.

I fail to see how the test is offensive... but then, I fail to see how the test offers some form of purity. If I sit down with two different burgers at my plate, try each one, and then decide which one I like more, it's the one I like more, whether I've never had a burger, or a hundred of them. I mean sure, this offers other people's opinions on which is better, but their opinions don't count for anything more - which is what the ad seems to be saying.

lol i thought this was going to be a pr0n bot xD

yeah its pretty stupid if you ask me.
for one its not like theyre gonna show us if someone actually picks the big mac over the whopper.

for two how is this supposed to effect our choices in eating fast food. we all know what these burgers taste like. you know which one you like more. we all have our preferences. its not going to change a thing. and if you dont eat fast food then youre not going to start eating fast food because of these commercials.

three: i hate these places having random commercials in the first place. unless they have a new product out they want people to know about theres no reason to have a commercial. are you going to forget that mcdonalds exists if we dont have a commercial on tv every five minutes? NO. thanks for the commercial about chicken Mcnuggets cause i totally forgot you had those. its all a ****ing waste of money.

UGH

Whataburger ftw.

**Adamaja456** · 12-7-2008, 09:20 AM

i would find it amusing if the results were "more people like the big mac than the whopper"

MechDreams · 12-7-2008, 09:22 AM

Yeah, I don't like this idea at all, since it doesn't really prove much.
The way I see it is, if they go to impoverish regions, the people will probably be hungry, so they won't really care about the taste of either burger.

**robertsona** · 12-7-2008, 09:30 AM

Yeah they've never eaten a burger before so its not biased
except maybe we're paying them

PlaceboFX · 12-7-2008, 10:04 AM

The first thing that struck my mind was how sick did these people get after eating all this processed crap?

It's all about the power of reminding... any time you see these commercials you think about the product, and every time you think about a product you are more likely to buy it. As of yesterday I hadn't had a Dr. Pepper in ages, but when I watched the Dr. Pepper Big XII Championship Game I got thirsty, went downstairs, and got a Dr. Pepper from the vending machine. It's all about suggestion.

i remember seeing this a week ago and it made me sad

Grandiagod · 12-7-2008, 11:45 AM

this is awesome marketing

Izzy · 12-7-2008, 11:54 AM

It is stupid. How do they just claim that the whopper is Americas favorite burger. I Don't recall voting for that =(

They will probably just pay these people to say whopper anyway.

This is stupid, some cultures are too different for them to possibly enjoy a piece of beef with grease and mayo. Eskimos eat fermented whale blubber, Koreas national food is stinky bean curd, their palates have evolved over hundreds of years. Example: When I lived in Scotland my mom threw a taco party for some people thinking she was doing them a treat, well they couldn't even keep from gagging to be nice because british people like boring unseasoned food

Yes there are some cultures where people find it impossible to enjoy different food.

And since I drive a truck I can never appreciate a bicycle

**pokelda** · 12-7-2008, 12:46 PM

you're wrong tired old man, everyone in the world loves tender meaty beef patties and sliced juicy and ripe tomatoes put together in a hundred percent ameican bun goodness.

if you dont like hamburgers, you are no better than terrorists

shut up terrorist its a bitch to post from a wii

Grandiagod · 12-7-2008, 12:53 PM

in before people start naming burger chains and saying if you don't like them you're an idiot

**coraleaterlinda** · 12-7-2008, 04:45 PM

wow BK is stupid. i mean, i understand they are trying to get an unbiased taste test, but this is not the best and classiest way to go about it. it seems to ignore the actual needs of the people in order to advertise.

i personally like whataburger and dairy queen the best.
