While George Parker doesn’t like the new Eat Like A Snake Commercial for the new Burger King Triple Whopper, we think there was no other possible way to promote a fatburger than with a freaky commercial like this. Atfer all, who in their right mind would want to suck down this 1,000 calorie plus, four inch high burger than a snake? Oh wait, that McDonald’s fat kid would love this thing and could probably suck it down in one bite too.
But anyway, Ariel’s right when she says “Burger King has successfully spent the last few years integrating itself with pop culture. Nay… BK IS part of pop culture. Unlike the majority of companies…BK refuses to merely be a reaction of what is already taking place. They choose to create the reaction, and fairly intelligently.” It’s perhaps true the wackiness of all recent Burger King advertising is simply aimed more at creating an odd brand persona than actually trying to sell a burger. But, given the upcoming generation’s hatred of “being sold,” the odd approach Burger King is taking seems to be an appropriate one.
