Burger King is cool with being the worst
The chain's new campaign in the Netherlands invites fans to grill everything awful, from Crocs to bad gifts.

While Burger King France is trying to convince people that a Whopper is to die for, the chain’s arm in the Netherlands is trying a different approach. It’s telling people their newest product (grilled hot dogs) are the worst.
“Worst,” of course, is slang for hot dogs in the Netherlands. But the pun has mutated into the message behind the latest creative campaign for Burger King, known as “#GrillTheWorst.”
The campaign invited folks from all over Amsterdam to a public grill-off on Jan. 15, where a team of Burger King “grill masters” lit up to grill the “worst” of 2017. From pink Crocs to tax bills and bad holiday and birthday gifts, Burger King wasn’t above grilling anything.
