Burger King is making a new and bold move in terms of advertisements. They are now proudly advertising a moldy whopper and many want to know why. The reason behind it is actually pretty telling for the fast-food giant. It is to show that this new whopper is made with no preservatives, colors, or flavors from artificial sources in the U.S. The new menu item is already available in more than 400 restaurants in the country. What's even more exciting is that Burger King has removed colors and flavors from artificial sources from all core menu sandwiches and sides in the U.S. Burger King confirms this news in a recent tweet.
