something I think that merits inclusion in this article, given that the "Advertsing" subsection discusses CP+B's Burger King in tight detail. You do not think there should be st least one sentence about the "Sneak King" video game and its success (with a link to that YouTube
Zeitgeist '08 video) in the article?
1147:
This seems to be a project that you've taken a great deal of interest in. I would think you would place accuracy first. The magazine ad is tangible proof that the entry is inaccurate. You said yourself that it is a logical deduction of fact. The McDonalds information is also proof that the entry is
996:
The source contains an interview with Burger King's corporate historian as a part of a history on the rivalry between BK and McDonald's. I would personally believe a BK corporate staff member who is knowledgeable about how the company grew over your personal recollection, sorry. If it was in
Illinois
223:
Good idea. This is an article about a wealthy corporation that is an
American cultural icon-- and it sells red meat globally, yet. What a tempting target. As a San Francisco professor, I am amazed that as yet it hasn't attracted massive attacks by "animal rights" activists, anti-globalizers, radical
1143:
You say that my source "still needs to be backed up by solid sources that won't be challenged". How is the proof for your source any better? All we have is the name of a program that apparently aired on the Food
Network. Who is this corporate historian? What is the exact quote? How many minutes
1182:
Here is a third source. this well sourced article does not give a specific date for the introduction of Burger King dining rooms. It suggests that they were introduced in the late fifties but definitely before the sale to
Pillsbury in 1967. "McLamore and Edgerton tried to give their Burger King
865:
The article mentions that the Arab league threatened to revoke the BK business license in
Islamic countries. How would the Arab league have this right? Surely, they would only be able to do it in Arab countries (members of the Arab league) and not in Islamic countries (Pakistan, Bangladesh,
1257:
So just to ask again: You do not view the video game as a significant advertising campaign that BK used to increase its popularity among member of a whole new generation? The sheer number of copies that were sold, and the fact that it was an entirely new, groundbreaking means of promotion is
1057:
You're right nothing in the ad confirms that it is is from 1966. However, the logo in the ad wasn't used after 1968. Therefore the disputed statement is still incorrect. The source is not a blog--the source is the advertisement as it appeared in the June 17, 1966 issue of Life magazine.
834:
Regarding the country/location listings, apparently someone threw in "Confederate States" in the J section. If you're going to list a country that has never officially existed at least make the fraudulent claim harder to find by at least putting it in the right alphabetical order.
908:
The statement that Burger King was first to provide air conditioned dining area in the early 1970s is not accurate. I have no prove of this fact; but I have personal recollection of eating in a Burger King dining room in the late sixties in the
Chicago area with my family.
1018:
It was not in
Mattoon and it was not a different Burger King. My personal recollection aside, did you look at the image of the ad from 1966? The ad is irrefutable proof. The Burger King logo in the ad was no longer used after 1968. I dispute your source.
1103:
Well what do I need to do--hand deliver a copy of the June 17, 1966 Life
Magazine? Isn't that advertisement the sort of proof you're talking about? It appeared in a national magazine and listed every Burger King in the country at the time.
584:
Since the legal matters are a large part of the history of the company and have set several legal precedents in the US and abroad, this paragraph's inclusion is appropriate. I am biased though, as I wrote most of the article.

I'll try this from a different approach. McDonalds stand-alone restaurant design which is still most common today, with mansard roof and indoor seating was first introduced in 1967. Source:

Kazakhstan might be added by mistake. There is a chain called "King Burger" in Kazakhstan, sharing original BK logo but serving different products of questionable quality.

Besides the author's assertion of date, what puts the ad at 1966? There is no confirming date that establishes the ad as from that year, and since it is a blog it violates
