You folks may have seen the commercial, but you really have to check out the video! I love the Whopper (although I’ve had to cut back to perhaps 1 a month with no mayo).

The video really takes off at the 5 minute mark – stick with it. It’s amazing!

A huge component of branding is connecting with people’s feelings about a product or service. This is a brilliant campaign to illustrate people’s connection with the Whopper.

On the geek side, the video player has an interesting characteristic as well. There’s a honeycomb style design in the video – this must save a bundle in bandwidth while maintaining a high quality show!

I finally got around to watching the video. Fantastic and absolutely brilliant marketing. As a small business owner I love seeing fresh and creative marketing ideas like this. It's the epitome of "you don't know what you've got until it's gone."

I've been seeing alot of commercials lately showing people "trip out" because BurgerKing had no more whoppers...this reminds me of an old girlfriend: she seemed to get a little too flirty with others,so I pretended as though I was leaving her,then she did everything under the sun to keep me!

Throwing the PPC ad was nice, Caleb... but I had to edit it out. Hope you understand!

Congratulations, you succeeded in getting me to spend 8 valuable minutes looking at that video and you were right on. After about five minutes the pace did pick up and it became hilarious. What a campaign. Who ever dreamed this up was very clever. If you ever threaten to take it away, they begin to value it more.....
