The whole commercial is Andy Warhol taking out a burger from a paper bag, putting ketchup on the side to dip his burger and then finally eating it. The only words you hear in the spot is Andy having a problem with the ketchup bottle and he says, “it doesn’t come out.”
The ad finally ends with the hashtag #EatLikeAndy.
Here is what Burger King say it was supposed to mean.
According to Today, the whole commercial was centered around one Warhol quote: "What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest.”
The ad wanted to show that Burger King is for all social and economic classes. Ok maybe too deep for me, how about you?
