Whopper Virgins?

Have you seen the Burger King commericals? They are having native peoples from remote places taste test both the Big Mac and The Whopper. And the tests shows that they prefer the Whopper. My reaction to this is great. When are they going to build Burger kings in their villages? It doesn't make me want to go to Burger King. does this commerical make you want to go to Burger King?

These commercials just seem to strike me as silly. It doesn't make me want to eat Burger King anymore or McDonald's for that matter. It's the most ridiculous concept I've ever heard of.

I love WHOppers - no tomatoe extra pickle. But that commercial does absolutely nothing for me! IT is almost like it could just be a set up of actors and of course they choose Whoppers. A commercial like that doesn't make me want a whopper.

I actually think it is an ingenious commercial, it is not easy making commercials. I whooper virgins, we I guess there are, I mean even in our country there are people who never eat meat or never eat from fast foods etc. I mean if you can do a taste test between coke and pepsi why not with burgers. as far as what they are doing, you have to follow there company to find out not assume they are doing nothing. Anyway maybe they can't maybe those governemnts of those countries won't let them in, or the taxing will be way too high or they would not have enough people who would eat them whatever, there are so many many problems with opening new franchises in foreign countries.

I'm sick of those commercials. I think they are already played out. Yeah, I know that Burger King is just beating us over the head that the whopper is superior, but enough is enough. Anyway, I think I prefer the Big Mac.

Yes I seen this commericial. I like BK so it's indifferent to me. But I feel sorry for the villagers. Because they are use to pure foods and than give them fast food crap. That just sucks and it's not right to use them for making money purposes or really not right to use them at all.

I personally don't think that any native people would like Burger King,they'd prefer natural authentic meals instead of see-thru beef lol I'm no native but I used to hate burgers and my first trip to BK was nothing more than disgrace and horror. Not that they are so bad but I was used to homestyle food I can eat all sorts of burgers right now and I even started to like them but I'm feeling very dubious about those aborigines. Even if they do build BK in their villages,they won't be able to have drive-thrus,right? Walk-thru,maybe... And anyway,even if they honestly liked BK burgers,why train people to like something they can't get? Seems pretty evil to me

If any thing this makes me want to go to the grocery store to avoid a whopper. I am personally sick of all the stupid commercials that are out now a days, and this one is the straw that broke the camel's back for me so to speak. When commercials come on I turn off the tv and sit in silence for 2.5 min the average commercial break. Not to mention I have really cut down on the amount of tv I watch to be on the computer. At least here I have the choice of commercials I watch lol.

Hi, I do not like Burger King's whoppers. I worked at a BK YEARS ago and had to smell the hamburgers and actually make them. I have seen how they look and I stopped eating them the day I started working there but I liked the chicken. I especially like the chicken fries now.
