Hysterical.
A burger king pretended that the Whopper was discontinued!

Kinda funny....but after the BK condom thread isnt this really bad timing for BK to screw with their customers?

These two events taken in conjunction are a textbook marketing nuclear fallout.....

Not that I'm just looking for things to complain about, but this made me expect them to be pretending to sell really cheap whoppers. You might want to change it to 'discontinued' for other people. Or, leave it how it is and let them watch the video and figure it out.

This is a very good prank.

my favorite reactions,

"This is a huge mistake"

"Home of the whatever we got"

That was a funny little experiment.

The second half of the video was kind of dumb... anyone anywhere would be pissed off if they got something completely different than what they ordered and the employee denied it.

But they did it as a marketing ploy. They didn't just do it for the heck of it all or so they could razz their customers. It was a long commercial for BK and it seemed like everyone got what they wanted in the end.

Either way, does that really make it the 'best prank ever?'

How sad is it that people get that worked up over a burger at a fast food joint? That is so lame.

I honestly don't know if I've ever had a whopper before or not in my life.
Crazy to think these people are coming in and getting quite frustrated that they dont sell the whopper anymore.

That was awesome!

Whoppers are the best, too bad there are no easily accessible Burger King's near where I live in Calgary.
