New ad proves Burger King’s beef with McDonald’s is getting stale

Burger King ads.

In celebration of this year's National Burger Day (yes, that's a thing), Burger King has released a series of cheeky ads which appear to poke fun at a certain golden-arched rival fast food chain. Splicing its packaging with iconic McDonald's menu items, Burger King lets its competition do the talking, claiming that it's bigger, happier and tastier than Big Ron's.

Despite the brands' playful rivalry, they work surprisingly well together, proving that a successful brand can be condensed down to its iconic colour palette and distinct typography and remain instantly recognisable.
