Burger King has never been afraid of a good flame war — after all, it’s perfectly in line with its branding (the QSR has long taken pride in its process of flame-grilling its burger).

So it makes sense that the latest outdoor campaign from Burger King’s Brazil operations calls out its competitors through some backhanded compliments.

Working with Sao Paulo agency David, BK hung “For Rent” or “For Sale” signs on buildings next to its largest competitors. They advertised space for rent with attractive features such as “Don’t worry: The neighbour doesn’t barbecue” and “BBQ smoke-free tenant below.”

Accompanying the messages was a phone number — those who called were directed to an audio recording of why a smoke-free restaurant makes a good neighbour, but a smokey restaurant makes an even better burger.

The troll level is off the charts. And so is our hunger.
