"Yes, we all prefer the Whopper to the Big Mac."
Maybe this was the master plan of Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now when he ventured into the Cambodian jungle; to cleanse the world of Whopper Virgins...
Cambodian: Uh, sir, we found a babbling, half-dead Dennis Hopper outside the camp. What should--
Kurtz: Damn it, #1! I don't care about that! What I care about is the rich, bold flavor of a burger that's char-broiled to perfection with just the right amount of condiments and fixin's! I mean, Jesus, you can see the grill marks on the patty! Do you even understand what I'm saying, #1?
Cambodian: Uh, I'm afraid not sir. Uh, about Dennis Hopper...
Kurtz: That's it! I need to show you what I mean! Kill a cow tonight so we can make some burgers! Make it a production! I want the cow to feel good before we put a machete through its shoulder blades!
Cambodian: But, sir, all we have are water buffalo...
Kurtz: I swear to God I'm gonna read T.S. Eliot til you die of exposure if you don't get something Whopper-licious in my mouth by dark!
Cambodian: Yes, sir! Yes , sir!
This has got to be the single worst marketing ploy Burger King has come up with. Ever worse than "The Nerd" from back in the 80's.

I'm curious... What did they do with the nerd?
it's ridiculous to travel across the world to give people food that we value mainly for it's convenience
But, , ,they're going to PROVE which TASTES BETTER.
Good idea though: Go to the parts of the world where they eat some of the strangest things like bugs and worms, and use THAT as the basis for a TASTE TEST. They're traveling to the furthest corners of the world because most people, when asked "Which is better, a Whopper or a Big Mac?", I believe will answer: Doesn't matter, they both are crap, any difference is microscopic compared to how crappy they are. It also gives them the opportunity to take a picture of someone with less than 4% body fat eating their product.
I'd hazard a guess and say a lot of these people's traditional diets are probably much lower in fat than the typical Americans. That means, in all likelihood, they'll think both are ****ing delicious.
I dunno, the "Wake up With the King" campaign stll gives me nightmares.
