BK Superbowl Spot

If you watched the Superbowl then perhaps you saw the above commercial for Burger King featuring the well-known footage of Andy Warhol eating a Whopper with no lettuce, tomato, or onions.

Savages.

The story goes that Andy actually preferred McDonalds because he liked their packaging better. Because we have the Internet and social media, this story surfaced quickly online.

Whoopsie.

Life Lesson? Research your footage and the lore behind it before blowing money on a large ad buy.
