Burger King's Summer Out-of-Office Lets You Give Free Whoppers to Poor Bastards Stuck at Work

The Belgian promo lets fans brag while being generous

Perhaps the only thing worse than being stuck in the office during the summer is having to hear about your coworkers’ trips to far-flung destinations. Burger King sympathizes and wants to help ease this tension a bit.

The brand’s Belgian operation  and agency Buzzman have collaborated on a digital campaign, Whopper Out of Office, this summer to send an automatically generated out-of-office reply on behalf of anyone who sets it up through the campaign website. Simply enter your destination, the duration of your vacation and a description, and then a gift voucher for a Whopper or an Oreo shake will be generated along with your individually tailored message whenever someone contacts you.
