Nearly 50,000 people have chimed in on social media to say that watching a Burger King Whopper be devoured by mold is disgusting, according to data gathered by social analytics company Brandwatch.

The campaign, which was developed through a partnership with three different agencies—Ingo, David and Publicis—was created to introduce the world to the “beauty of no artificial preservatives.”
