Burger King — Whopper Virgin
Thursday, January 8th, 2009jtherkal: Ha. Ha. I like that Burger King is willing to take risks, as this was clearly going to create some controversy. The idea breaks down when you get to the logic. Who cares what someone who has never, ever had a burger prefers? They might think grasshoppers or bamboo taste delicious. In America, we’re burger experts. I know a good burger. If someone from the moon gave me two kinds of moon cake to taste and I picked one, it wouldn’t necessarily mean that is the better moon cake. It would just mean to my unrefined palate, one is more familiar. And I’m sorry, but The Big Mac is in a different class than the Whopper; I don’t even consider The Big Mac a burger. It needs its own classification, like “delicious meatlike substance housed in breadlike objects.” D+.
