I just came across this campaign that Burger King put on at the start of the year...
Friendship is strong, but the Whopper is stronger.
... simply delete 10 friends off your facebook account and you get a free burger. Oh, you also have to install their "Whopper Sacrifice" application to your list of many useless Fbook apps already. Every time you cut a friend loose, it announces your decision to the world.
With the many years you have been on Facebook, how many people have you met during a 5 minute convo and decided "hey, I met you - aaannnnddddd you can be my friend now.click."
Don't try to deny that you have never done that. Ever. Because you and I both know that it has happened at least once.
I deleted 200 people in 5 minutes. 200 people that I haven't talked to in ages, haven't met, or don't recognize because I met you for 2 minutes at that party last month. What could I possibly do with 20 Whoppers? I just cant even fathom the idea... wow, I used fathom. Blogs really are making me more smarter!
So in the end you are trimming that excess friend fat to simply add it onto your own bulging belly. But hey, who doesn't like free stuff?

Pretty sure I could cut a couple hundred "friends" from fbook, half of which wouldn't even remember that we were "friends" in the first place. If it's so easy, is BK offering more than it can afford? Or will people actually add this app?
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say it in my write up, but there was a 1 Whopper limit :( But what is BK trying to get out of this campaign in the end? A large deficit of whoppers from their stores? LOL
ReplyDeleteBurger King has alienated it's core target market: the friendless.

So, do you think BK will follow up with all those friends that got deleted? Maybe offer them an ice cream to drown their sorrows?
ReplyDeleteThat would be a great second part to their campaign!
