Content creator @darealblaquefoggaa posted a video on 5 March 2026 that had people talking. The clip showed Burger King president Tom Curtis standing in a kitchen wearing an apron, holding a Whopper. He took a large, confident bite, chewed, and then turned to a woman nearby who asked:
"Not bad, right?"
He raised one finger, nodded, and said:
"Only one thing missing. A napkin."

That was all he needed to say as the woman laughed. He clearly praised the burger's taste but implied that the sauce was a bit much as his face got messed.
Why the Burger King CEO video went viral
The video was a dig at McDonald's after their CEO, Chris Kempczinski, posted a video tasting the chain's new Big Arch burger. Instead of calling it a burger, he called it "the product." He then took what can only be described as the tiniest, most uncertain bite anyone had ever seen. People online found it hilarious and could not stop talking about it.
Burger King clearly saw the gap. Curtis's video felt like a direct response, and the internet picked up on it immediately. One CEO looked genuinely happy to be eating his own food. The other looked like someone had put something strange in front of him and asked him to be polite about it.
Speaking to Briefly News writer Nerissa Naidoo, entrepreneur Rajesperi Naidoo explained why it is important for people to follow trends when posting content to promote their businesses online:
“Following trends can help a business reach more people because trending content is what many users are already watching, sharing and engaging with online. When a business uses popular sounds, challenges, or topics, its content has a better chance of appearing on more people's feeds. This does not mean copying everything blindly, but finding a way to connect the trend to your product or service in a natural way. Trends help businesses stay relevant and visible, especially on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook where the algorithm often pushes trending content to wider audiences. For small businesses that cannot afford large marketing budgets, using trends creatively can be a powerful and free way to attract attention and bring new customers to their brand.”
