I’m supposed to be checking the affiliate codes on a website on cigar humidor but my productivity took the day off, and instead I spent the last hour watching a series of Burger King documentary commercials called Whopper Freakout. The company rigged a branch in Nevada with hidden cameras, and got actors to pose as servers. As customers ordered their Whoppers, they were

1) told their whoppers are no longer available; the product has been discontinued.

2) served burgers from Wendy’s and McDonald’s.

The reactions were genuine and absolutely funny, and supposedly created a double-digit growth for Burger King. You can watch the 7-minute video here.

Just goes to show that for people to realize the incomparable value of what they have, they have to lose it first.
