Burger King: Whopperspiracy by BBH London
- Location:
In a world full of fake news and recipe secrecy, Burger King UK has launched a campaign that reveals there are no secrets behind its famous burger. The 'secret' ingredient of its flame-grilled Whopper is just fire.
To put the conspiracies to bed, BBH created a campaign showing the nation how fire impacts the quality of Burger King’s food. Rather than being simply a cooking method, the fire represents a key ingredient. In Whopper terms, flame-grilling means a smokey smell, locked in juices and intense taste.
Inspired by actual theories from members of the public on Reddit, the campaign consists of a series of films in which the viewer is immersed in a world of Whopper flavour conspiracy, only to reveal the one and only Burger King secret: fire.
The first spot in the series opens on a pair of customers in a Burger King restaurant discussing the theory that the smokey flavour you get in a Whopper is in fact a liquid smoke. The film, directed by Andrew Gaynord, ends on the tagline ‘It’s not a secret. It’s real fire.'
