Would you freakout if the Burger King Whopper went away?
Burger King decided to do some social experimenting and pretended in one of its establishments to "discontinue" the Whooper. They put a big X mark over the Whopper on the over head menu, and told all patrons that the Whopper was discontinued by corporate. The patron reactions were then videotaped all day long, and put together in this Burger King adumentary called "Whopper Freakout."
Personally, I wouldn't miss the Whopper too much if it ever went away as I don't eat in fast food places any more. However, if I was a Burger King patron, I would be slightly peaved that the Whopper was gone mostly because the Whopper is synonymous with Burger King like Big Mac = McDonald's. What I did find interesting about the video is how emotional people got over fast food which is not even healthy for you. Go figure. We Americans love our fast food nation.
