Burger King is making QR codes cool again as it taunts you to “catch its QR code” on its new TV spots.
QR codes almost became cool. Almost because despite the amazing technology behind them, they never really caught the interest of consumers. Even now that Apple has finally installed a QR code reader on the iPhone…
But Burger King decided it would make QR codes cool again.
In its new TV spots, Burger King is showing a QR code bouncing around your TV screen. While it will strongly remind you of vintage computer screensavers, it’s actually a fun game in these days of quarantine. Believe me.
Below is an example of how it works, posted by Burger King on their YouTube channel. Go on, try to catch it.

Unfortunately, this one will not get you far. If you did manage to scan it, you would see the following message: “Scoring a whopper is easy but not this easy stay tuned on your TV for a real chance to score.”
The real spot, however, will offer free Whoppers to the 10,000 first viewers to scan the QR code. The offer will have to be redeemed via the Burger King app, and with purchase.
