my classmate muhammad interned at BK this summer and he just told us in IMC class (I find this fascinating)

that you can't show food in commercials that's more than 500 calories.

I wonder if this is BK policy or fed mandate.

since a Whopper has 670 calories, I don't believe it -- nm - Roger More Feb 13, 08:43 7
- Hell, I just saw an Angry Whopper commercial a few days ago. According to their site, that has 880 cals. -- nm - kelly Feb 13, 08:51

  - there's an obvious inconsistency that needs explaining -- nm - Roger More Feb 13, 08:49
  - We get that, but we're curious: we've seen Whopper commercials, so, how does that work? -- nm - TFox Feb 13, 08:48
- They take a couple big bites out of the back of it, and then shoot it from the front. -- nm - TFox Feb 13, 08:45
- here's a link. BK Stackers, Angus Burgers, Chicken sandwiches all have >500 calories -- (link) - Roger More Feb 13, 08:45
That's gotta be a BK policy...because Hardee's plops down a Thickburger in every ad. - Jim Feb 13, 08:41 5
