Timeless principle

Make the apparent product flaw the proof of improvement.

The idea

Show a Whopper decaying over time to prove the removal of artificial preservatives.

Why it works

Fast food normally hides age, mess and imperfection; Burger King puts all three in close-up. The unpleasant image is credible precisely because it costs the brand something aesthetically. Decay becomes a blunt, unforgettable ingredient claim.
