The Burger King Controversy "When I was 5, I did my first Burger King commercial. In it I said "Do I look 20% smaller to you? I must have at McDonalds because their hamburgers are 20% smaller than Burger King's." It was the first time a company used another companies name in a commercial. Now we take these things for granted, but back then, it wasn't done, and McDonald's ended up suing Burger King, the advertising agency, and me. I was only 5 years old. I didn't know a disposition from a this or that. I wasn't even allowed to go to McDonald's. The funniest thing of all is that years later I studied my own Burger King commercial in an Advertising class.
