Moldy Whopper

Moldy Whopper is a true showstopper. It just sat there effortlessly, even smugly, with an edge on the competition. A beautifully simple idea and yet so brave and gutsy. No borrowed interest, no frills, no extended narrative, no need for talent endorsement, just a product message executed to perfection.

It’s a disgustingly fabulous middle finger to their biggest competitor flying in the face of every rule of food advertising. It’s hard not to take notice.

It’s a brave thing to tamper with the product, to show how it would look at its worst, but this campaign showed that bravery pays. Not only did this totally pull the rug from under Burger King’s competition and land the ‘no preservatives’ message, it was a work of art and the talk of the earned media town all over the world. My only regret is that I wasn’t in the room when the idea was pitched to the client.

Burger King's Moldy Whopper caused lots of discussions, with a full spectrum of opinions. I fully support the bravery of it.
