Burger King Whopper Freakout
Burger King celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Whopper in 2007 by showing the reactions of real customers in Las Vegas to the news that the Whopper had been discontinued. On October 30, 2007, hidden film crews captured the reactions to news that their burger would no longer be available. In some cases burgers were replaced by a Wendys Single or a McDonalds Big Mac.
The result was branded as the Whopper Freakout and featured online at www.whopperfreakout.com. One of the shots showed Regan Burns, known for his role in the television show Oblivious, playing a cashier.
