This past week, Burger King launched a cheeky ad campaign touting the removal of preservatives from its Whopper sandwich, presenting a time-lapse video featuring the marquee burger succumbing to green, fuzzy mold. The chain also announced that 400 locations around the United States will have an entire menu that is 90 percent free of artificial coloring, flavorings, and preservatives, as well as totally free of MSG and corn syrup.
