Started in 1953, after going out to California and seeing what the McDonald brothers were on to, a few folks tried to copy their success out in Florida. The result was Burger King. Playing second fiddle constantly to it's inspiration McDonald's, BK was infamous for starting what was known as the "Burger Wars" in the 1980's with this commercial starring a young Sarah Michell Geller.
Not only did they mention McDonald's in the clip, but also slammed it for not "appreciating" kids enough. McDonald's was furious at the move and was quick to retaliate. Though I was young at the time, I wish I noticed this more, but commercials that didn't talk about toys never held my interest.
Just some "Did you know" trivia for today!
