"Whopper Virgins is a pretty slick piece of viral advertising by Burger King and it will undoubtedly be successful in raising the profile of the Burger King brand"1

- Richard Falconer, a Search Engine Optimization Consultant at bigmouthmedia Ltd.2, in December 2008.

"Attention-getting, yes. Diabolically clever, uh-huh. But it's advertising, and there's nothing honest about it... "Whopper Freakout" was honest and genius because it showed that the absence of the Whopper caused visceral outpourings of grief and loss among passionate customers. This is the opposite: It forces the burger on people who were innocent of its existence." 3

- Barbara Lippert, Adweek4 Columnist, about the 'Whopper Virgins' campaign, in December 2008.
