The Whopper Freakout
All right - I've got to admit, this video of Burger King customers freaking out over the fake discontinuation of the Whopper is pretty funny.
I could see maybe a few old guys getting upset - but it seems like people across the spectrum are very attached to the Whopper.
No way around it -- it is a delicious sandwich. But I'm not sure I'd ask to talk to the manager if I was told I couldn't get one anymore.
To even further punk people, they gave people Wendy's and McDonald's burgers instead of Whoppers by accident. Their reactions were not pretty.
It's possible people feel as strongly about the Big Mac -- but it's sort of hard to imagine.

"but it seems like people across the spectrum are very attached to the Whopper."

Someone reminded me after I posted this of the guy in Morgan Spurlock's documentary "Supersize Me" who said that a significant portion of his solid food intake is Big Macs. He has a few a day, and has been doing so for decades. He'd probably pull a nutty if they discontinued the Big Mac.
He's pretty thin and his cholesterol is good, surprisingly. He doesn't eat the fries, though.
