Website is crap tho.

Gives new meaning to "hold the onions".

I liked it, but then again I'm bias on this stuff.

Forgive me my ignorance (I'm Australian), but what's going on with their "Have It Your Way" tagline?

I can understand a build-your-own fast food outlets like Subway using that line, but surely a Whopper is a Whopper; either "Like It Our Way" or don't like it at all?

Burger King allows you to customize any of their burgers. Always has. The original words were something like:

"Hold the pickles, Hold the lettuce
Special Orders don't upset us.
Have it your way, at Burger Ki...ing!"

I can still sing it, even though I don't think they have used this version for 15 years.

A little Googling tells me they started this campaign in 1973, which surprises me ... I would have guessed 1969.

love it..one of the best throughout the night

the website is silly, but funny. i tried stacking tons of meat. he yelled out my name too

An overproduced bore. It didn't even make the Top 10 in USA Today's survey, coming in somewhere around the middle of the pack. The folks at Burger King's corporate headquarters can't be too thrilled with such an anemic showing, especially considering that: A) most of the commercials this year were lame in the extrme, and B) they must have spent at least $6,000,000 on production and media buy. Nice.

Jesus, Steve, you really are in the tank for Crispin, aren't you?

Kit, they used that phrase it seems forever back in the day.

""Hold the pickles, Hold the lettuce
Special Orders don't upset us.

And the missing catchy call-to-action: "All we ask is that you let us serve it your way."

Have it your way, at Burger Ki...ing!"

It was back in the Land that Time Forgot of Jingo World. Dovetailed nicely with McD's version:

"Two all beef patties special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun."

Shite, I remembered it. I guess advertising works.)

LAME! the beef patty looked gross, and i think the whole idea was stupid

Really weird, Brooke Burke has been replaced in the extended version of the commercial.... WTF?

Yo, anything with girls dancing around in food costumes is all right
